One of the most astonishing books I’ve read; the kind where you have to stop underlining, because then you’d end up underlining every paragraph.

I love how this guy talks, and maybe his wisdom might save you hundreds of bucks from seeing a therapist. No. 6 hits me hard.

The world is full of people suffering from the effects of their own unlived life. They become bitter, critical, or rigid, not because the world is cruel to them, but because they have betrayed their own inner possibilities. The artist who never makes art becomes cynical about those who do.
The lover who never risks loving mocks romance. The thinker who never commits to a philosophy sneers at belief itself. And yet, all of them suffer, because deep down they know: the life they mock is the life they were meant to live.

Y’all have become way too comfortable disrespecting and mistreating people, then expecting them to just “get over it” without any accountability. Too many genuine people end up hurt because someone’s pride is too big to offer a sincere apology, take responsibility for their actions, and make a real effort to change. Accountability isn’t just saying sorry, it’s showing through your actions that you’re willing to do better.

I'm officially at the age I don't want to be around people who are not self aware. Continuously putting themselves in bad positions, making bad life choices, toxic ways/lifestyles, no priorities lacking accountability etc.

[LLONER 🦅🪐 @eyojoel77]

People be knowing they wrong. But instead of being grown about it, apologizing, or taking accountability... they'll flip the whole situation and act like you did something to them. I done seen people try to make me feel like I was the problem in situations they started. I done watched folks blame me just to avoid admitting they moved foul. And that's why I can't respect certain people... not even a little bit. If you can't own what you did, if you gotta lie just to feel right, we not the same. I stand on what I do. I fix what I mess up. And that's the difference between us.

Kenneth Bullock, a 44-year-old Black man from Detroit, Michigan, walked free after spending over a decade behind bars for a carjacking he did NOT commit.
In 2011, a woman reported her Dodge Charger stolen at gunpoint. Bullock was wrongfully convicted and sentenced to 30-70 years in prison. He maintained his innocence the entire time.
This year, another man already in prison for murder confessed to the crime. The Wayne County Prosecutor’s Conviction Integrity Unit reviewed the case, and on May 28, 2025, all charges were dismissed. Kenneth is finally home with his family.

Being Black American is so funny cause mfs will mimic your whole identity while hating you 😭 .

👀The Black community is serious about Boycotting Asian stores in the Hood. He walks into local Asian stores to notify Black ppl of the boycott & redirects them to Black owned stores(everyone isn't on social media).

[Tarsha ☀️🌛✨ @TruthSeeker4u2]

Not the good ol WT folks they don’t rob and kill what is going on here…..
Real Demons walk this earth 🌎 believe it or not…… Never heard of this case

[Samrah @_Chemist1]

People want ACCESS TO YOU while secretly disliking you. Weird.

[The Black Opinion @opinion_black]

@SeeRacists When a black person is charged with a heinous crime, it seems as if all black peoples must take responsibility despite our protestations.

However, when these types of crimes take place the psychology seems to be absent where ‘white people’ are concerned. Very odd. 🤷🏽‍♂️

🚨 UPDATE: 8 people charged in Sex Ring “Underground Bunker” for Paying adults to Rape their Children and Pets — Ages 3-16. Trial delayed as mom pleads guilty and flips on co-defendants

In Bibb County, Alabama, eight suspects ran a sex trafficking ring out of an underground bunker where children as young as 3 were drugged, bound, and raped with adults paying to abuse them.

Animals were also targeted.

Rebecca Brewer and mother of some of the victims, pleaded guilty to sexual torture and nine counts of first-degree kidnapping. As part of the deal she agreed to testify against the other seven defendants.

The trial for the remaining suspects has been delayed while the case expands, including a federal investigation into at least one of them.

These monsters turned their own kids and pets into victims for profit.

How long will it take for every last one of them to face real justice?

I haven’t been to a Asian business in 5 years and especially Arabs since I was in my late 20s stop going to these foreign businesses they don’t respect the black community/Dollar shit them out

[unite! • commissions open!!! 🖌🍉 @sistertonin]

i do care when other minorty races have low racial self-esteem / value white proximity because not only is it wrong, but because their attempts at aligning with whiteness always mean being anti-black overall. their attempts at aligning with whiteness get black people killed.
