@topbrass88 @Queen_Miso As if black liberation isn’t a recurring theme in reggae. And then said he never heard it in daily conversation, man never spoke to a real rasta in his life.

@Queen_Miso You from NYC you never heard of reggae music or dancehall? Its in our music and everyday language.

I’ve never heard of anyone from the Carribean refer to themselves as Black either until….. nvm 😭😭😭😭😭

Afro Caribbean??? Hello I am a black Barbadian/ Bajan…. I have never heard anyone who is actually from tge Caribbean referred to themselves as afro Caribbean

@MoreOrLessAMess They know what Chrome Hearts and Rick Owens is, no reason not to know the word silhouette if they think they know fashion.
English
Why would silhouette and gauche be familiar to modern teens?
Caroline Renard@carolinerenard_
That video of the High schoolers not knowing basic words is not funny, it’s actually really sad. Silhouette and gauche should be words they’re use to at that age.
English
@okmickeyy @MediumSizeMeech Also the sentence they’re reading is poorly put together, so even the student who is testing them only understands the words superficially.
English
@MediumSizeMeech They don’t even need to “know” the words fr. If they could actually read and read to understand they would’ve been able to infer meaning from context but none of the kids in that video even tried.
English
@amoregobrazzyy @starmangodust @babyfacexjackie @BasilianThought It was more than that. They can’t read. They could barely sound out “extraordinary”. The school needs to be investigated. Cancelling prom faults the kids only, and this is more than that.
English
@starmangodust @babyfacexjackie @BasilianThought like really? cancelling prom because they don’t know a slightly obscure french term?
English
UPDATE: The school board is trying to expel the kid who made this video for exposing that his classmates can't read.
You can't make this shit up

Beta male … if someone’s extra bag is in my overhead bin I will put it on the floor in the aisle and put my bag in the bin.
Zero way my bag is not going over my head when I paid for that first class seat.
Here let me show you how it’s done when you’re not a pussy.
Step one identify the spare bag
Step two throw it on the floor
Step three put your bag in its place
Step four sit back in your seat like nothing just happened
“Who’s bag is this” says the stewardess
“Not mine” says the alpha male
Problem Solved

@giovannabvg @Jeeanzito23 Casa do irmão que nem música faz. Mas claro, não deveriam ter nenhum esquema para receber dinheiro além do mandar Oruam ir na boca pegar 10k em 10k. Confia.

Português
@comtemposempapo @Jeeanzito23 O rapper Oruam, cujo nome verdadeiro é Mauro Davi dos Santos Nepomuceno, se tornou alvo de uma ação judicial movida pelo proprietário da mansão de luxo diariodolitoral.com.br/cotidiano/rapp…
Português
O mais surreal disso é o Oruam nao ter 10k pra dar pra mãe pagar o cartão
BAÚ DO RIO OFC@baudorio
⚠️VEJA: Mensagem interceptada no celular de Márcia Gama indica, segundo a polícia, a ligação da família com o traficante Doca/Urso. No diálogo, Márcia pede que Oruam busque R$ 10 mil com “DC”, para pagar a fatura do cartão que está em R$ 10 mil, e ele responde que irá.
Português
@giovannabvg @Jeeanzito23 Então ele é rico sustentado pelo tráfico ou um pobre vivendo de tigrinho? Não tem ilusão, só conhecimento financeira. Qualquer CLT premium tá gastando 5k no cartão, mas o nepobaby do tráfico que é um dos artistas mais ouvidos do país tem que ir na boca pegar 10k.
Português
@comtemposempapo @Jeeanzito23 Um ano atras antes de se tornar foragido, o Oruam teve que desocupar a casa onde tava morando no Joa pq não estava pagando os aluguéis, porr4 kkk. Fora que se ele tinha tanta renda da música, pq passa a o dia divulgando tigrinho antes do mandado de prisão? Vcs são iludidos 😂😂
Português
@giovannabvg @Jeeanzito23 Você está esquecendo que além disso Oruam também tem renda de música. 10k é pouquíssimo dinheiro, ele realmente precisaria ir na boca pegar pessoalmente? Para pagar cartão de crédito?
Português
@comtemposempapo @Jeeanzito23 Muito ricos justamente porque são sustentados pelo tráfico. Tudo deles sai de lá, inclusive o dinheiro do cartão. Oruam fez faculdade, os irmãos também, eles sempre viajaram pra visitar o pai em outro estado. De onde sai isso? De trabalho honesto que não é
Português
@1004liildj @BkJay @gossipguru4u @Raindropsmedia1 No, it’s not. I knew basketball wasn’t up there but some of these surprised me honestly.

@comtemposempapo @BkJay @gossipguru4u @Raindropsmedia1 basketball is the #2 or #3 most watched sport globally i don’t know where you getting this information from

Woman claims Megan Thee Stallion made Klay Thompson famous on a global scale and that nobody really knew about him before they started dating. 👀
English
@giovannabvg @Jeeanzito23 Sustentados sim, mas muito ricos também. Não faz sentido ele pessoalmente ir atrás de 10k para pagar um cartão de crédito.
Português
@Jeeanzito23 Tu acha que esse pessoal viveu esses anos todos de que? Que a mãe dele sustentou os 5 filhos, cujo marido está há 30 anos preso, trabalhando? Eles sempre foram sustentados pelo tráfico
Português
@BkJay @gossipguru4u @Raindropsmedia1 Also you’re drifting from the topic. I’m not saying people don’t play basketball globally, I’m saying the NBA isn’t globally popular enough for for Klay Thompson to be globally more popular than Megan. Globally only the huge names like Curry, LeBron, Kobe, etc are known.
English
@comtemposempapo @gossipguru4u @Raindropsmedia1 Wym by "mostly" a US sport? The best league is in the US yes but it's global. Like VERY
English
@BkJay @gossipguru4u @Raindropsmedia1 And everyone knows the most watched sport globally is football (soccer), then there’s cricket, tennis, table tennis. I read and travel, so that’s how I know these things. You can google it though.
English
@BkJay @gossipguru4u @Raindropsmedia1 Music is more global because of platforms like YouTube, Spotify, etc facilitate access. NBA games and other US sports aren’t available on cable TV globally so many people never had access to them hence they’re less known.
English
@Tnice50372761 @FamousPeopleFil @Raindropsmedia1 Same people that call the NBA Champions “World Champions” lol pay them no mind
English
@FamousPeopleFil @Raindropsmedia1 In the US, not in the world, no other person apart from the US knew him
English
@gossipguru4u @Raindropsmedia1 Honestly, only in the US. Basketball is mostly a US sport, music in general has more globalization. She is more known globally.
English
@Raindropsmedia1 That narrative never really made sense, Klay’s been a household name for years, this just feels like people trying to rewrite history for the moment

@LASHYBILLS She’s not wrong, just presented her view a little differently than would have been reasonable.

And this is how it starts…
