I hope he is free and flying happily now. This cruel world didn’t deserve him. I feel pain for his family and the people who loved him who have now lost this light in their lives. I pray for all of us who have lost this young man who had unique talents and gifts to give to the world. 

What a hot mess. But somehow I’m not surprised that one of these brother’s and Jussie were getting down and dirty. Lmao I can’t wait for the Lifetime movie about this crazy ass story. 

I find it so laughable that Pelosi and the stay-calm-and-wait Democrats seem so assured of a ‘normal’ and fair 2020 elections. Cohen, Trump’s right hand man for decades, has said HE fears Trump won’t allow there to be free and fair elections. That’s what anyone with common sense would be able to predict, and Cohen

What a fucking piece of shit. I’m the most angry at this black woman who doesn’t find it offensive to traumatize another black child so white kids can roleplay at being racist.

Stallion is slang in parts of Texas for a tall, well-built woman.

I love her so, so much. I’m also really excited at all the black women who are breaking out this year with their music. I feel like 2019 is going to be an iconic year for women in music. And we’ve needed these fresh, organically talented voices.

I agree with you completely Stephen. This is part of the reason why our oppressors aren’t phased by the idea Black people collectively coming together to fight back. Because honestly, that idea becoming reality is unlikely.

It’s pretty well known info in Jamaica. The CIA was all over the Caribbean in the 70's because a bunch of our countries getting our independence and most of us were leaning towards socialism. Do you still live in the US, you sound like you’d be fun to connnect with!

Personal debasement in this case refers to pissing on a mural. Or shooting up a church of black people. 

Yes indeed! That book is a phenomenal retelling of Jamaica’s crazy history and present. It made me proud when he won the Man Booker Prize because he’s the first Jamaican to ever do that and I’m an aspiring writer. I think he migrated from Jamaica to Minnesota, and I read something from him about how that environment

Oooh, lemme go join this bank rn!

And the Black woman in a position of power acquiesced to his demand to further victimize another Black woman. I can’t.

I don’t know how the Black players stomach working next to racist assholes like this. Not to mention working FOR assholes like this. Couldn’t be me. Especially after I’ve gotten the first big paycheck, I’m outtie.

I would love to visit Ghana, was thinking about going there this year until I found out I that as a Jamaican passport holder I need a VISA to go there! Can you imagine? When my ancestors, and most Jamaicans’ ancestors, came from Ghana? It made me really sad. 

God, those GIFs of Kanye make me want to gag.

And in the African countries who are also exhibiting this virulent homophobic behavior, a lot of it is being fueled by American ‘christians’—like the ones who set the ground for the ‘kill the gays’ bill in Uganda. The Rastafarian religion is great but also SUPER misogynistic. They isolate their women when they are

Yes, its really sad. I migrated to the US 6 years ago and invited one of college friends from Jamaica to visit me in Chicago. I always knew he was gay, but it wasn’t until he left the country of his birth that I realized how much of himself he had had to keep hidden for his entire life. He was so free here. He was

Lol I just realized he said “apprecimation” in the Reclaiming My Time clip. In this new interaction he said ‘gravel’ not gavel. This dude has the same word pronunciation problem as Trump.

This is so evil. So evil. Sometimes I don’t know how much my heart can take. They were so committed to locking up this black man and taking his life away that they paid people’s rent and bought their kid Christmas gifts so they would lie on him. This is too much.
