John Amos was a beloved figure who graced our screens and left an mark on television history. Best known for his iconic role as James Evans on Good Times, Amos portrayed a strong, loving father figure who resonated deeply with Black families across America.
Beyond his talents as an actor, Amos took on groundbreaking roles in Roots, Coming to America, and many other memorable films and shows. He was also a trailblazer, advocating for authentic Black representation in Hollywood throughout his career.
As we reflect on his extraordinary contributions to entertainment and culture, our thoughts and prayers are with his family and loved ones. Rest in power.
@JanetJackson I know your thoughts are on your family and your upcoming tour. But this Guardian quote, which I know was edited to read as if you’re ignorant on Kamala’s ethnicity, is bad PR. Share YOUR thoughts so folks get it from your lips, not an article edited for clickbait❤️
My fans SHOWED UP and SHOWED OUT! You guys have been jokingly “dragging” me for years about these wigs so we thought we’d have a little fun by hosting a few Wig Screenings for #NeverLetGo 😉 This was so much fun and the wigs were hilarious. I appreciate all the love! 🤍
@JanetJackson My deepest sympathies on the passing of your beloved brother, Tito. May God’s peace, strength, and love be with you and your whole family at this time. They say the show must go on, but take your time, J. We know there will be grief behind your smile this month. ❤️
@JanetJackson Uhmm J! Do you even own a pair of shorts, an no not for tour? Miniskirt? You wear them just around the house, right, or for them ATAP occasions? 😉 Gurrrl! We haven’t seen your legs since the 2000s. 😆 It’s all good though. We know you’ve worked the hell out of ‘em for 50+ years
I’m not one to pit journalists against each other, but when media which I’ve worked in for 20+ years is willing to lead with bullsh*t for ratings and further propagate hate that endangers ALL Black people, I’m calling it out. @MeetThePress do better.
@margbrennan Thank you. Unlike @MeetThePress today w/ @kwelkernbc you didn’t lead with the racist bullshit in Ohio. MTP’s approach seemed more for TV ratings & retention. It became harmful propaganda. But @FaceTheNation’s first block was more journalistic, well fact-checked.
Happy 85th birthday to Claudette Colvin!
She refused to move to the back of a bus 9 months before Rosa Parks, the NAACP did not want to use her to represent them because she was 15 & pregnant.

A THREAD!
@JanetJackson Don’t you need somebody to carry @solaimonster’s camera? I can shoot, video edit, or just shut up and hold the tripod, monopod, or his extra lens. I don’t take up a lot of room in luggage. Imma carry on size. 😆 I wanna see you in South Africa and Europe!
