Fleece Johnson says he approached a male to have s3x with him in prison to satisfy his s3x drive, and he called it “booty support.”
Fleece: “When you leave the streets, your sex drive goes with you. Getting locked up doesn’t make those urges disappear.”
“At first, masturbation might work, but eventually it gets old. You’re surrounded by men every day, and after years in that environment, the way you think about attraction can change.”
“I eventually stopped caring about what people thought. I told myself, ‘I want him,’ and I made my approach.”
“I never had a woman while I was in prison, so I didn’t know what the difference felt like. As the years went by, my thinking changed.”
“I wasn’t looking for romance or a whole lot of conversation. I was looking for what we called ‘booty support.’”
“For me, prison was basically three things: gambling, fighting, and chasing booty.”

There are an estimated 70 million Samsung Smart TVs plugged into American living rooms right now, and close to 65 million of them have never had their network or streaming settings touched since the day someone pulled them out of the box.
A family has complained their Netflix "randomly buffers," their apps "take forever to load," their picture "looks worse than it used to," and their TV "feels slower every year" for 3 years straight.
They upgraded their internet plan once. $70/month to $90/month.
They bought a $140 Wi-Fi extender.
None of it fixed the TV.
Not because the internet was too slow. Not because the extender didn't work. Because the TV itself — sitting on factory-default network settings, running background data collection that was quietly eating bandwidth, connected to the weaker of two available Wi-Fi bands, holding onto a DNS configuration nobody ever touched, and still running the exact software build it shipped with two years ago was the actual bottleneck the entire time.
Their neighbor, a home theater installer who calibrates and configures over 200 TVs a year across client homes, sat down with their remote for about 7 minutes on a Sunday evening.
He didn't touch their internet plan. Didn't recommend a new TV. Didn't suggest a streaming box to bypass the smart TV software entirely. Didn't call Samsung support.
He changed 9 settings.
Netflix buffering stopped completely. App load times dropped from 12+ seconds to under 3. The picture sharpened noticeably without changing a single picture-quality setting. The TV that used to take 40 seconds to boot up now turns on almost instantly.
Same TV. Same plan. Same living room. Same Wi-Fi network.
"Your TV was never too old for this. It was never told how to actually manage a connection. And nobody not Samsung, not your internet provider, not the store that sold it to you was ever going to tell you the fix was free."
Here are the 9 settings he changed 🧵
@hiphopini0ns@rolandsmartin@plies@AngieNixon@lilduval This is why we don’t get across the finish line! Instead of taking shots at a fellow brother why don’t you invoke your ideas as a collab? Unity is better than dissension.
Btw, what are you concerned about what his personal life entails? That’s a little weird bro
1st Lady Coretta Scott King carried a truth that most people never heard. She believed her husband's assassination had little to do with his "I Have a Dream" speech - the integration message America had grown comfortable enough to tolerate. What got him killed, she said, was where he went next.
By 1968, Dr. King had moved into what she called the fourth and final chapter of the movement - a full-on push for economic inclusion and wealth redistribution for poor Americans of every race. Media mogul Byron Allen, who spent time with Coretta in her later years, recalled her pointing directly to King's 1968 speech The Other America as the turning point. That speech named poverty as a policy choice. That message threatened real power.
Coretta finished what she could of that fight - and the ballot was her weapon of choice.
She spent her final years making the case that voting sits at the center of everything Dr. King's movement built. She understood it as the mechanism that either protects progress or watches it get dismantled.
Here is what she kept coming back to:
Protecting Civil Rights - Rights won through sacrifice require political power to survive. The vote keeps those wins from being reversed.
Securing Economic Leverage - Minimum wage, labor protections, federal budgets elected officials control all of it. The ballot shapes every dollar of that fight.
Honoring the Sacrifice - People bled and died for Black Americans to access the vote. Using it honors that cost directly.
Holding Systems Accountable - Systemic change requires people inside the system who answer to marginalized communities. Voting puts them there.
Coretta saw the ballot as the bridge between the dream and the policy. She never stopped building it.
