Get Your Seat At the Table

“In race talk the move into mainstream America always means buying into the notion of American Blacks as the real aliens. Whatever the ethnicity or nationality of the immigrant, his nemesis is understood to be African American.” - Toni Morrison (On the Backs of Blacks)

@BelovedBaje Girl, she got that Oprah seal of approval.

This is a dupe of Sula and Recitatif by Morrison mixed with a little Diane Oliver. No denying Jones is a fabulous poetic writer but the story is not new or boundary pushing. This also feels autobiographical (not a compliment) Its still… good

Its very easy to tell Vernice was a version of herself and what she as the writer wouldve done in these situations. She almost force feeds us sympathy for Vernice Which might expose how thin her imagination was while writing this

@rrandolphjr You would be able to predict almost everything that is about to happen if youve read Sula or Recitatif. And in her book talk she was lowkey avoiding questions about how her book mirrors Morrisons

😂😂😂🫨🫨🫨

Don't go anywhere near her Facebook with ANY critiques then ....

Why does the nanny look like she should be the mama?

Almost startling how relevant this still is.

I didn't have the sound on and wondered who they were 🫨

This wound up on my Facebook feed. Mind you I hadn't discussed these murdered Black Women, but.....what a story!!! facebook.com/share/v/1Fuy5F…

She makes terrible choices. Full stop.

Black Panther, despite the valid criticisms towards it, had a dark skinned cast. It did not fail. The sequel didn’t fail even when a bunch of idiots whined about it being led by a woman. Iyanu didn’t fail. It’s doing great. Children of Blood and Bone deserves to be told as-

Never forget when the Democrats gifted the Post Civil War, Freedmen’s Bureau Bank to illegal aliens

the fact that she didn’t know that is actually insane i’m crying😭

More and more people are sharing either privately or online that they haven’t worked in months. I’m talking about real talented people with strong portfolios. It’s insane

There is a Wasian civil war on social media Asian dad Wasian vs Asian mom Wasian

The mother of missing 16 year old Aysia Banks: "I am gonna be full transparent and share everything surrounding the disappearance of my daughter , because CMPD is playing it like a runaway case and it’s being taking lightly. For those wanting answers … here are the answers. I know it’s a lot but I need you all to read and please share. I am speaking out to bring urgent attention to the disappearance of my daughter, Aysia, and to express my grave concern regarding the current handling of her case. CMPD is currently classifying this as a runaway; however, the circumstances surrounding her disappearance strongly suggest she is in danger and may have been groomed or manipulated. HERE ARE THE FACTs: • Last Seen: Tuesday night ( April 14th -early morning of April 15th) • I was working a night shift (7 p.m. – 7 a.m.). My 9-year-old son reported that Aysia left with a bag during the night. • When I arrived home, all of Aysia’s known electronics were left behind. Her phone enters automatic "Downtime" at 11 p.m., restricting her communication to parents only. Her other parent is currently out of the country. • Because she left her devices behind, I believe she was either using a secondary device I was unaware of to communicate with someone, or arrangements were made prior to 11 p.m. Aysia is 16 years old and has no history of running away or behavioral issues. She is a dedicated Honors Student and a member of the National Honors Society. She values her education and would never willingly miss school or abandon her younger brother in this manner. And none of her close friends has any answers or any clue about her disappearance. Between the hours of 1 a.m. and 5 a.m., a 16-year-old girl is extremely vulnerable. Whether she was lured away willingly or forced, she is a minor alone in the middle of the night. I believe she has been targeted and groomed. Something is wrong. My daughter is not a "troubled child” she is a child who is missing, and someone else is involved. I am asking for the community’s help and for law enforcement to treat this with the severity it deserves.

Put some magnets on the door? Go to YouTube to get the dents out?
