The funniest part is people thinking Terry Crews being this good at drawing is random. 😭

He had an Art SCHOLARSHIP before a football scholarship, worked as a courtroom sketch artist in Flint, and when NFL teams cut him, he sold portraits to teammates for around $5,000 to help support his family.

Acting is not where the talent started. Drawing was paying bills before Hollywood ever knew his name.

As a Black woman, I am deeply uninterested in spending the second half of my life proving how much I can endure.

I would like to explore how much joy I can hold.

Hard to believe it’s been 39 years to the day since my duet with Michael Jackson, "I Just Can't Stop Loving You" hit #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and Hot Black Singles charts. Miss you, MJ!

A black woman no longer works at IHOP in Tupelo, Mississippi, because she stopped a white server from serving a black patron, a pancake that was used to kill a baby roach!

[Black Journals @blackJournals01]

An officer walked up to a group of teenagers outside a housing project, asked a 15-year-old where he lived, and as the boy answered, sh0t him in the head.

Randolph Evans. Brooklyn, November 1976.

There was no struggle, no chase, no weapon, no dispute. Witnesses described a conversation.

The officer was tried and found NOT GUILTY BY REASON OF INSANITY.

He was committed to a psychiatric facility. He was out in well under two years.

And then the state granted him a disability pension.

Read that sequence again, because it is one of the most extraordinary things in this entire archive: a man shoots a child in the head mid-sentence, is found insane, is released within months, and receives a pension for the rest of his life on the basis of the mental condition that excused the killing.

Randolph Evans was fifteen. He had answered a question.

A 15-year-old answered a question and was shot in the head. His killer was released, then received a pension.

And Randolph Evans is only one of the cases we uncovered. Our book documents the stories of Black people whose deaths, suffering, and denied justice were left behind in the historical record.

Some of these stories will make you angry. Some will break your heart. All of them deserve to be remembered https://t.co/V6OJtayKnF

Yesterday, we lost a cherished member of our family.

We got Sunny at the start of our second term in the White House, and all of us – including our first dog, Bo – immediately fell in love. We also had trouble keeping up with her, for Sunny was a force of nature. Athletic and full of boundless energy, she leapt over the hedges on the South Lawn like they weren’t even there, chasing squirrels, birds and anything else that moved. And whereas the way to Bo’s heart usually involved a treat, Sunny was more interested in having us run around with her, roll on the floor with her, or have her belly rubbed for as long as we were willing.

She loved the girls, even if they were pestering her when she was napping. She loved our team, and would often follow them around, helping them on the job. She was fiercely protective of Bo, who she rightly sensed wasn’t always as alert and attentive as she was. She had her eccentricities: other than Bo, she preferred people to dogs; she was a loud and sloppy drinker; and despite being a Portuguese Water Dog, she hated getting wet.

But as far as our family was concerned, she was pretty much perfect, and for thirteen years, she would be by our side – always loyal, always sweet, always ready for adventure, still fiery and gorgeous till the very end of her days.

We will miss her terribly, and imagine she’s with her big brother now, making sure he’s okay.

Macklemore has been dropped From Ed Sheeran's tour and says Sheeran "told me that the words 'Free Palestine' and the image of the Palestinian flag were hurtful to a lot of people he spoke with."

"I told him that if those words were more offensive than tens of thousands of Palestinian children being killed by Israel, then there was a fundamental disconnect between where those people stood and where I stood."
