We’re obsessed with the idea that poor people might take more than they need, but we rarely question why some wealthy people are never satisfied with what they already have.

False hope leads people to false goals and wasted time.

[Kyle-Durrell Johnson @kyledurrell]

Too many people don't speak up because they don't want to "be rude". They stay polite and quiet.

Remember that responding to someone’s invasion of your space, privacy, and comfort is not being rude. It is aligning their behavior to your expectations or interactions.

[Kyle-Durrell Johnson @kyledurrell]

One of the oddest things is to be all in on someone/thing but they don’t give equal response…so you adjust your mind, emotions, and expectations to how they don’t have the same regard for you as you do for them… then they start giving reciprocity…..like….👀🤔🤨🧐😕

@TemooTitan I’m a pastor and we did a funeral for one of our high school students. Her mom was so happy she went all out for school dances because she got to have bright moments in life…you never know what else a child will be able to experience…or not. If family can…go for it.

Just because I don’t require a lot, doesn’t mean I deserve the bare minimum.

The worst part of a shifting relationship isn't that you aren't as engaged as you used to be....it's realizing that they might be okay with it.....or even prefer it.

@RpsAgainstTrump It was a concert put on by a private industry. The government and the American population can’t dictated what they do or who they platform.

I don’t see them bringing that same energy to ratios of representation/population on tv and movies…

@notcapnamerica People: it was in Spanish I couldn’t understand.
American educational system: foreign language is a requirement to graduate high school….the most commonly taken class is…. Spanish

A Black history moment in arts and humanities.

@itsKARY_ Patti was PLEASED!!!!

[Kyle-Durrell Johnson @kyledurrell]

Republicans who are rejecting Trump because they are not seeking reelection haven't found their spine. They are willing to admit the truth that they rejected in order to obtain power. Now that they are done, they embrace what Democrats have been saying. Republicanism is toxic.

THE BLACK AMERICAN ANTHEM
MUST BE ACKNOWLEDGED
ON THE FIRST DAY OF
BLACK HISTORY MONTH🙏🏾

[Kyle-Durrell Johnson @kyledurrell]

@Protestia There may be some White churches in various areas that have this call and response but just about EVERY Black church has this. Also, It isn’t just about church, it’s embedded in general Black American culture. So, yes, it is in deed a Black thing and it’s beautiful.

People tend to burn down cities when they can’t burn down the system that oppresses them.

I suggest we dismantle the system before folks start dismantling other things.

"I might be scared but I’m going to try."

Words of wisdom spoken by my friend years ago.
Fear is a feeling. Trying is a choice.
Your lived reality will be an outcome of action or inaction.
I encourage you to try....even if fear tries to hinder you from starting.

The reality of America now is that if you had cared when this was happening to Black people….. it wouldn’t be happening to everyone else now

@KitchenRecipes_ put the insides down first so they are hot and warm...and toasted...then do the other stuff....OR...just toast the bagel and cook the food....but the original method also steams the bagel.
