In 1980, Richard Pryor agreed to an interview with a Mormon high school public access station while on his lunch break from filming STIR CRAZY in Arizona, but literally none of the footage was usable for tv because Pryor was high on cocaine and let it all loose
No wonder Woody gets sturdy because he is black.
Most people have no idea that Woody from Toy Story was named after a real person, a Black man named Woody Strode who broke the NFL color barrier one year before Jackie Robinson integrated baseball. 🔥
Jason Brown reached the pinnacle of professional football when he signed a five-year, $37.5 million contract with the St.
Louis Rams in 2009, becoming the highest-paid center in the NFL at the time.
After spending several seasons in the league and earning millions, Brown made a life-changing decision.
Rather than continue pursuing more NFL contracts, he stepped away from professional football and followed a different calling.
He purchased land in Louisburg, North Carolina, and founded First Fruits Farm, a 1,000-acre farm dedicated to helping those in need.
Despite having no prior farming experience, Brown taught himself how to farm and turned the property into a source of food for struggling families.
Through First Fruits Farm, Brown has donated hundreds of thousands of pounds of sweet potatoes, tens of thousands of pounds of cucumbers, and a wide variety of other fresh produce to food banks and food pantries.
Over the years, the farm has provided more than 1.5 million pounds of food to people facing hunger.

This is Timothy Hudson. He raped & killed his stepsister. A judge ruled because he’s 16 he gets to spend time at home with family awaiting trial.
He’s Not an immigrant. Not a Black or brown person. A US citizen with the complexion for protection.
16 year old Kalief Browder was tortured for 3 years in prison and solitary on the mere (false) accusation that he allegedly stole a backpack. He died by suicide from the trauma. Hudson gets to chill at home after raping & killing.
This is America.
Yall gone hear me one day.
Black turnout exceeded white turnout in Louisiana’s May election.
Black voters are 31% of registered voters, but made up 34% of the people who showed up.
I was on here every day telling y’all to vote because this is what happens when Black people participate at higher rates. We influence elections the same way we influence culture.
Jeff Landry lost all 5 constitutional amendments. Even in Republican parishes, voters rejected his agenda.
Never underestimate the power of informed, organized Black voters.
And to be clear, this happened while Black folks are underfunded in this work in Louisiana.
One thing the record will always show is, I did my part.

Some of the foods people turn their noses up at today were born out of survival. Chitterlings. Neck bones. Hog head cheese. Pig feet. Pig ears. During slavery, the best cuts of meat went to the white slaveholder. The scraps were left for the black enslaved.
