Author Tomi Adeyemi reveals that she has distanced herself from the upcoming film adaptation of her novel ‘CHILDREN OF BLOOD AND BONE,’ directed by Gina Prince-Bythewood:
“there is a reason i will not post anything about the adaptation of my work… i have not seen the film, and i will not watch it. its been painful holding this back from you all.”
PabloReports: How do House Republicans make the case that you're fighting for affordability when you go back to your districts?
Nehls: Affordability? What are you talking about? I'm gonna go there tomorrow. I'm gonna get me a couple of big lobster tails. I'm gonna get me some nice rib eyes.
Reporter: Do you think the 60% of Americans living paycheck to paycheck can afford lobster tails and rib eyes and all of that?

The part of the story about George Washington that usually gets ignored is that the people who were enslaved by George Washington hated their condition. Harry Washington escaped from slavery to join the British to fight against his former slave owner. Harry later died as a free man in Sierra Leone. Oney Judge also ran away and evaded the attempts which George Washington made to recapture her.
This isn’t a minor contradiction that should be explained away. It represented the reality that Washington and other slaveholders did not respect the humanity of the people that they enslaved because they did not view Black people as being human.

To paraphrase Mohammed Al-Kurd:
In one part of the world, we have mothers complaining about being threatened by some words on a tshirt.
In another part of the world, we have mothers searching through the rubble for their dead children.
Guess who receives more attention?
I told yall it was a literacy issue and everyone wanted to rip my head off. Back in the day, rappers had vast and diverse vocabulary. They used figurative language, and literary devices. And this is not about AAVE, because that’s a dialect. the new cats are vastly illiterate.
