Which one of you rich Black Americans (or rich immigrants that genuinely understand what’s going on) that lurk my tweets wants to open up your brownstone for me and likeminded homies to converse and plan?

Gifted Black people CHOOSING to escape their Blackness by being the other in their relationships and marriages will always disturb me. Blackness gave Kanye his gifts. Then he chose to share that with people that could not fathom HIM and they siphoned all of him. A tragedy.
Kim Kardashian reveals how Kanye West scrapped SKIMS’ original packaging in a 2-hour meeting and became the brand’s ‘ghost creative director’ “Our packaging was one way and I thought it looked amazing. And then he walked in and had about a 2-hour conversation with my whole SKIMS team about why it was not so amazing. But it was really inspiring… The team was bringing us other products in the marketplace, saying ‘Isn’t this better than that?’ And Kanye’s main advice was, ‘Why don’t you go get packaging that you think is the best of all time? It doesn’t have to even be in the marketplace, but any product, and you should strive to be on that level. Why are you striving to be better than the worst?’ … He’s like my ghost stylist and my ghost creative director.”

Eventually you will be forced awake from that dream and you will have to love yourself for you and not what someone views you as.

The greatest gift a parent can give Black children is raising them around other Black people. No Black child should be forced to endure racism and microaggressions because you’re afraid they’ll pick up “the wrong things”. As soon as boys come of age, they sprint to the closest hood anyway trying to prove themselves. They were brought up so well and still end up trying to be rappers. The girls have been called ugly and undesirable their whole lives by their classmates and the cute Black boys working at Best Buy and McDonalds call them pretty. These kids will spend their entire lives trying to prove themselves because their parents were scared.

My dad sold crack out of our house and had multiple felonies. I was an honor roll student and graduated from college on scholarship. Idk. I guess you just gotta teach kids early on that they’re the ones driving the car that is their lives.

The beauty of being raised around other Black people that LOVED their Blackness and Black people that hated everything moving was that I got to see it all. Like ok. This for me. That ain’t.

An e-bike’s lithium-ion battery caused a Bronx apartment fire that killed an 11-year-old boy and critically injured four other people early Wednesday, FDNY officials said. Firefighters found an e-bike in the kitchen near the entrance of an 11th-floor apartment at the Patterson Houses, a public housing complex in Mott Haven, officials said. The blaze began around 12:50 a.m. and spread quickly throughout the home, according to officials. “It was placed in a spot in the kitchen that made it impossible for the residents to leave safely,” Fire Commissioner Lillian Bonsignore said. “ We know lithium-ion batteries are everywhere, and we know how valuable they are to people's livelihoods, so we need to remind New Yorkers how to use them safely.” gothamist.visitlink.me/Xp2am…

My final form as a Black love advocate is disgust at fetishists. Wow I’ve really arrived.

Note: I don’t give a damn what rich idiots do with their genitals and the stock they produce. I care about the artists. The true creatives and innovators. Those unions add to this world.

You may see an 81 year old man crying after waiting decades to see his favorite team win the World Series but I see a 15 year old kid living in the moment.

Imagine if all of the sanitation workers…
When people talk about how much chaos a cop strike could cause - do they not think about what could happen if Con Ed or the TWU decide to go out for industrial action?
