Access mf DENIED🙅🏽‍♀️

community college challenges every classist notion of education and academia and having access to it has changed my life. it should be preserved, supported, and destigmatized with everything we have. hard to name a more precious educational resource for those over 18.

"I don't know any LGBTQ people!" Yes you do actually. They're just not safe around you.

And he quit smoking to set a good example for his daughters. Niggas with no integrity or willpower won’t relate.

sharing any man is wild, but sharing Neyo is diabolical

Ask these people where the birth place of Black American culture is. They’ll look at you with 4 heads and say Africa, New York or some dumb crap. The answer is THE SOUTH they’re so stupid. Brag about us not knowing nothing yet they know nothing about America.

another example of palestine being used as a gotcha moment bc what has drake done for palestine to be saying this?

So the weak white boys are melting down now that they've found out that TC Carson (Kyle from living single) has been the voice of Kratos this entire time lol lol

I’ve never met a person with a degree who didn’t happily provide proof of said degree 😂😂😂😂😂

I literally only had a sore arm and that was only after my first 2 doses… every booster after was like nothing happened 🤷🏽‍♀️

HBCU drumlines come from Black American culture — blending military traditions, Southern Black expression, rhythm, precision, dancing, and showmanship. Their influence shaped music, film, and pop culture worldwide. Black Americans created a style nobody can duplicate. 🥁

They been pulling Wayne's locs one by one

A guy who'd been painting women lounging on pink cotton candy clouds for six years got an email in early 2010 from a "Katheryn Hudson" wanting to buy his work. He recognized the name. Hudson is Katy Perry's actual last name. So he wrote back: "If this is Katy Perry, would you like to pose for me?" The painter is Will Cotton. The painting that became the Teenage Dream cover is called Cotton Candy Katy. It's an oil painting on canvas, 72 by 84 inches. That's about 6 by 7 feet, roughly the size of a small wall. For the photo session, Cotton rented a cotton candy machine and kept it running all afternoon. A friend stood off-camera and threw the spun sugar around Perry as she posed. Cotton builds his subjects before painting them. His Manhattan studio is full of cake mountains, gingerbread castles, oceans of melted chocolate, cotton candy clouds. He makes or buys them first, then paints from them. The painting wasn't even made for the album. Cotton picked Perry as a model because she fit the style he'd been working in since 2004. Perry only proposed making it the album cover after seeing the work in progress. Cotton trained at the New York Academy of Art. The Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery owns a different Cotton portrait of Perry called Cupcake Katy. His painting Taffy Forest sold at auction for $272,500 in 2012. His record auction sale is $572,500. AI can generate a similar image in a few seconds. Cotton's painting is a 42-square-foot physical object that took weeks of work in front of a real cotton candy cloud. It sells at auction for six figures. That's what "AI could never" actually means.

Janet Jackson exists. That's the entire answer most people miss. Same parents. Same Gary, Indiana household. Same Joe Jackson childhood. She's the only artist in Billboard Hot 100 history to land 7 top-5 singles from one album (Rhythm Nation 1814). She holds the female record for consecutive top-10 entries at 18. Five Grammys. Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, 2019. A pop monster on her own terms. The talent ceiling argument dies on her career alone. What separated Michael was the team he assembled the second he could. In 1980, right after Off the Wall, Michael hired John Branca. Branca's first major move was firing Joe Jackson from his son's business affairs, by fax. Joe had been running the business side of all six Jackson brothers since the Motown years. Michael then stacked the rest of the operation. Quincy Jones to produce. Rod Temperton to write ("Rock With You," "Thriller," "Off the Wall"). Frank DiLeo to manage. Every one of them a peak operator in their lane. Off the Wall (1979): 20 million sold. Thriller (1982): 70+ million, still the best-selling album in history. Bad (1987): 35 million. ATV Music Publishing purchased in 1985 for $47.5M. Sony bought the estate's 50% stake in 2016 for $750M. Janet ran the same play in a different city. She walked into Flyte Tyme Studios in Minneapolis in 1985 and handed her career to Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. Control hit 14 million worldwide. Rhythm Nation 12 million. Janet., another 14 million. Jermaine actually proved the thesis once. He linked up with Stevie Wonder for "Let's Get Serious" in 1980. The song went #1 R&B for 6 weeks and beat Michael's "Rock With You" as the soul hit of the year. He just never built the full stack. Stayed at Motown, married Berry Gordy's daughter, ran on family-favor production. The other brothers stayed inside the family business under Joe's management. They had real Epic-era hits ("Shake Your Body," "Can You Feel It"). They never broke out at Michael's scale. Two Jackson siblings reached immortality. Both did the same thing. They fired the dad and hired the best team money could rent.

I listen to every music genre because my people created almost EVERY music genre.

when black people were called ghetto and unclassy and every other name thats not in the bible for wearing them but when #that race started wearing them it’s good for the hair, it protects the hair and its chic

Some people saw Aja Wilson’s Lowe’s campaign and here they come with jokes about them not being able to afford an NBA player. Lowe’s knows what they’re doing, a lot of new homeowners are single women. They’re trying to attract those customers.

Men. They used it to control women

do not forget about Congo. they’re going through a genocide and not enough people are talking about it. please speak up for Congo
