Milestone loaded. Happy birthday to me. Thank you God for allowing to see another birthday.

@TampaBae8 I did the same

10 minutes into Mortal Kombat ll.. I’m glad I decided to watch it for free on my fire stick.🫩😒

Rob Base, "It Takes Two" rapper, has died at 59 💔🕊️ tmz.com/2026/05/22/rob…

@KryssyLaReina Fine point

Do you prefer using a bold, medium, or fine point pen?

@TampaBae8 Enjoy

Going with my man to drink and eat around the world during the 2026 International Food & Wine Festival at Epcot is going to be so fun!! It won’t be my first time but it’s gonna be his.. I’m making sure that my baby have a time!!

bell hooks said that White people will meet a Black person who completely challenges every racial stereotype that they have, but rather than giving up the stereotypes, they create a special category for that person and say, things like “Well, you’re not like other Black people”, instead of saying, “My ideas of Black people were too narrow”. This is called “subtyping” and it leads to the survival of negative stereotypes because the new category individual who’s supposedly “not like the others” is mentally isolated from the group. What this shows is that bigotry is all about protecting an existing hierarchy and it doesn’t matter much whether a person is exposed to other people or not. Which is why meeting intelligent, kind, accomplished, or complex Black people does not dismantle prejudice if someone is emotionally invested in keeping the stereotype intact. Exposure to facts and figures doesn’t change the situation either. Someone can know the statistics on crime, education, poverty, or discrimination and still keep racial stereotypes because the stereotype preserves a sense of superiority and avoids confronting historical responsibility. This is part of why bell hooks further argued that racism is emotional and ideological more than just purely ignorant, which is then why facts by themselves usually do not overcome a worldview that a person is motivated to preserve.

@RobCarpenter2 That’s what you voted for, 🤷🏾‍♂️.

Absolutely nothing.

Umar is making sense. @netflix is showing us who they are but we don’t want to believe them. Them attacking Michael Jackson is next. Just because they give us some shows doesn’t mean that they’re not racist.

That simple.

My little cousin goes to school. I have friends who have children in Hillsborough County. This is sad.

@Brita_Be_Like It’s convenient how they’re dropping this weeks after his movie. I’m not watching this. He was proven innocent but they’ll do anything to disparage Black ppl.

We should collectively not watch this

@Brita_Be_Like Love to hear your thoughts

If I may speak….

@TampaBae8 I would the same thing. When you have that special person, you already know.

He deserves a special place in heaven

@LowKeyUHTN Exactly. Jay is where Drake wants to be. He already responded to Drake years ago. Responding to Drake makes him more relevant. With no ghost writer, Drake wouldn’t stand a chance if Jay were to respond. Folks really out here acting like he’s a real lyricist.

For WHAT

@P3canParadis3 I can see that happening.

My next chapter!!

Slavery by Another Name by Douglas A. Blackmon. Exposes how slavery in America did not truly end after the Civil War. Instead, many Black Americans were trapped again through: Convict leasing Fake criminal charges Debt peonage Forced labor camps Racist laws after Reconstruction. The book shows how Black men were arrested for tiny or invented “crimes” like vagrancy, then leased to plantations, mines, railroads, and factories under brutal conditions. Many died from abuse, starvation, and torture.

The NAACP is urging Black athletes and fans to “withhold athletic and financial support” from public universities in states that “have moved to limit, weaken or erase Black voting representation”

Black history is under attack Black voting rights are under attack Black maternity is under attack Black education is under attack They are trying to take us out. We better get back in formation, and quick.

It’s May 19th, Malcolm X’s birthday. Let’s celebrate his life and impact on the movement

BRINGING LIGHT VS bringing darkness

@Quamclips There are whole books about this topic. “The Delectable Negro” is evidence of this.

A Black American woman said African-Americans were once eaten and skinned during slavery while debating oppression on a podcast. The discussion got even more intense after claims about Christopher Columbus were mentioned, leaving the host completely stunned.
