"What you say makes sense, but no one likes to be attacked." "I know. I'm Black. Imagine how exhausted I am having to be used to it. You're not being attacked. You're being made to consider whiteness. It's not something you often have to do."

My prayer is once we get beyond this, we can heal as fast as his ear.

I've never been to the Cheesecake Factory. But I do know, Obama didn't not attack or attempt to look down on it. He said it looked like "Saddam Hussein opened a Cheesecake Factory." As usual, they leave out details to suit their own needs.

Parents, be careful if you tell your adult children you are disappointed in them. They might just say it back.

Based on my own scientific testing, after viewing the overall tone of the year thus far, I knew not eating black eye peas on New Year’s Day wouldn’t make a difference.

Perhaps those bruises on his hand is where they inject Clorox. It's not working fast enough. They might want to up the dosage.

I feel like you can boo AND vote. Frankly, I like to laugh, hysterically, while pointing at them, but that's just me.

People always talking about "pretty privilege." From what I see, it's the ugly and vile get away with the most. Now, that's privilege.

Not to mention the hundreds of thousands highly qualified Black women that have lost their jobs. A goal of the RightProject 25 has been to break down Black women because they know they are the foundation.

Killing toddlers by shooting in cars and calling the cops on them for being too good on the soccer pitch is how Black kids live and die too soon. If it's happening to kids, think of what Black people go through during the course of life. Our freedom was never a part of the plan. It still isn't.

He stays killing it.

A job that doesn't allow you to take time to vote is a job reaffirming they do not care about you.

Integrity costs. Few can afford it. As intended. And here we are.

I wonder what I.V flavor Mitch McConnell is having for lunch?

The win in Brazil is also a win against Global warming and protecting the rainforest and indigenous land. Voting is not about personalities you see. It is about the unseen, actual and practical. Taking into account the unseen is where real change takes root.

Billionaires always want to focus on the jobs they create, not the layoffs that keep the stock high. A.I will make it worse. Tax those MFs.

Representation starts with what you represent.

I'm thrilled for Brazil. You will see a lot of images in the media coming out, but it must be remembered, this win would not be possible without the majority of Black and brown Brazilians, which we rarely see represented. Until the erasure stops, nothing truly changes.

Brazil. Serbia. Okay, Israel and the United States are we ready to say, NEXT?

“So, what have we learned today class?” “If you’re Black you will disappoint real estate agents and will have the police called on you if you’re a toddler and too good at soccer.” “Correct.”

Two weeks ago: “What is that, an X? When I get my Apple Duo you can have my old phone.” Today: “Hey. Listen. Can I get that phone back?” Life moves quickly.

Yes, indeed.

It's never chaos to the conductor. Be particular about those you let lead the orchestra.

The most corrupt people always say things are corrupt because it means they weren't corrupt enough to get the result they wanted and how could that possibly be, unless you were more corrupt?

Yes, indeed.

We depend on animation to say things people should be saying. Animation can run for 40 seasons, while people saying the same things get alienated, viewed as a threat. I suppose we prefer truth to be spread out in around 17,000 drawings.

So much focus on which bathroom trans women use, yet not the politics of men being present in every woman's bath, doctor, and hospital room.

I've used my last straw. Anybody got a spare?

A reminder: The Nazis learned from the Klan. Yet, seemingly, only one of those is allowed to be mentioned. That's telling.

History does not repeat itself. People merely thrive on the familiar. The more the familiar serves you, the better. And here we are.

“Ugh! They’re Black.” Even the most liberal white people will never truly understand. The thing is, understanding is crucial to any relationship. And here we are.

They know we expect them to lie. And here we are.

Thinking of Brazil. Voting extended 2 hours, due to "transport irregularities." Results should be known around 10pm Brazil time. Let's go, Lula!

It’s natural to root for the home team, even when they constantly disappoint you. That is being an American.

Jaylen Brown turned 30 today. He appears so much lighter, even more of himself than he did in Boston. I’m happy to see it. It’s an example of, go where you are appreciated. For him, I know that extends beyond the basketball court.

Vile Vivek, and, clearly, those around him, forgot he is not white. MAGA voters are about to remind him. Then what will become of him when he is no longer useful to them?

Being told, "No" has never bothered me. Ignoring the ask does. That means I am not safe around you. So many negative outcomes stem from issues being ignored.

Apple TV is just like every other product they put out. It's ok, but you feel like you should like it more than you actually do. That is their brand: Intellectual insouciance.

Having to cancel a needed dental appointment because you have already reached your insurance limit and can't afford it is not healthcare. It show America might be powerful, but its people are not. As intended.

White liberals rarely talk about white supremacy. Until a large percentage of them do, nothing will change. But they won't because they don't want to risk their place in a structure that benefits them, which is also a form of white supremacy. And here we are.

It’s curious how people didn’t date in the Bible. They were just together and started begetting.

I often think of all the cases that don't get national attention, how they are swept under the rug, just like they tried with the ones that did finally get national attention. The Cornell case happened in 2024. Those boys were certain they were free to continue as normal, when Jane Doe would not.

Cornell frat and Nolan Wells cases are similar. We are all aware of what young, white men are capable of. As a Black guy raised around them, I know what they are willing to do to protect themselves. Nolan would have known too. You Do Not stay behind with white people you don't know. And no phone?

Growing up, one thing my schools and teachers knew is my parents would show up at the slightest sign of an issue. When both Black parents take off work and show up, that sends a clear message: "Do not f**k with our child." That did not stop all the racist behavior, but it did curtail it.

"You gotta spend money to make money," so say those with the money. What they don't often mention is the need for low overhead. The reason they don't is because that's where the public and workers come in.

Protests tend to occur in high activity/price point areas. To that, bring your own water, drinks, snacks, everything you might need. Protests should not be a financial boon for businesses that, more than likely, do not support your cause. Small details like this make a difference when organizing.

A reminder. A lot of people that are not MAGA are racist, sexist and homophobic too. Continuing to name call and blaming everything on MAGA is lazy, intellectually dishonest, and, honestly, "stupid."

Men are not any worse than in other generations. It's merely women have more life options than they did in the past and men are pissed off about it, which reflects in their politics.

"Truth is heavy, therefore few care to carry it." - Jewish proverb. I hope this is remembered as Israelis vote.

But I’m sure his supporters don’t see race.

Just imagine the amount of corruption that we don’t know about.
