usually you can just talk to the HS coach or the AAU coach and then they'll put the kid on the phone. you talk to the kid well before you ever talk to the parents.
for your entire Black ass life, never forget that the reason this country doesn't have the social safety net that other countries enjoy is because we would get that stuff too. they'd rather suffer to ensure that we suffer more. always remember that
White ppl: black ppl should not get any special benefits. Thats all we’re saying. Everyone should earn what they have. Join the military if u need help
*black surgeon has student loans paid off for military service*
White ppl: WHY DOES THE MILITARY GIVE OUT SO MANY BENEFITS?!

Sure. If you buy cheap, low quality goods, you’ll have to replace them more often and end up spending more than if you had bought a slightly more expensive but higher quality item in the first place. Always consider the total cost of ownership, not just the sales price.
nah lol. there's two ways to come to this false conclusion: you have money and have never been broke or you're broke and have never had money. only someone who has never seen both sides of this coin would think broke people don't work hard

she started to make a roux and then didn't put in any flour. it was all downhill from there and this really cements that Jamaicans need to leave mac and cheese alone.
I almost got thrown out because I said the Civil Rights Movement and the NAACP is/was a scam and that it’s whole movement was moreso about validation from White People and access to white spaces, not Black Liberation
@theNFLchick
I just don't get it. people really think someone who plays QB the way Russell does is soft? he gets criticized for taking too many hits and holding the ball too long, but he's soft? make that make sense
it's wild because the man won Rookie of the Year and was excellent under a different coaching staff. all of a sudden, he's under Jay Gruden and can't play
@yourpalcrawf
lmao. this person expects us to believe there is a person out there who wants to give money back to their employer? there are people who feel they are overpaid, but I've never met anyone who would reject their paycheck
1. HR is not there to protect you. They are there to protect the company.
2. Document EVERYTHING.
3. Food is not a reward for hard work.
4. Do the bare minimum, or you'll get rewarded MORE work.
5. Use them sick/vacation time.
6. Everyone is replaceable.
7. Keep them emails.

I think I've always been anti-zionism in practice but I hadn't verbalized or conceptualized it. I've always supported Palestine for a number of reasons but this attempted genocide really crystallized it for me
The NFL’s lack of interest in Lamar last year and Fields this year tells me there are a lot more coaches who would like to run “their” offense with Derek Carr and get shellacked than there are who will muster an ounce of creativity to build something unique with upside.
I told this girl I was dating that I was stressed out from bills & helping my folks out financially.. she said “let me take you out to get your mind off things” … went to a nice restaurant for dinner & when the bill came she passed that mf right to me
you touched on this later in the thread, but Nancy was considered the best in Hollywood at her craft. that's what folks are missing. strive for greatness, like Nancy
Nancy Regan was a THROAT GOAT who sucked her way through the MGM studio and was throwing it back for Frank Sinatra, then became the First Lady, so I find these “hoe to housewife” conversations to be hilarious.
@DragonflyJonez
losing a battle doesn't mean you are forever a loser. LeBron lost to the Mavs and now he's a 4 time champion. doesn't change the fact that he lost to the Mavs, though
they think we are all poor but also bathing in government money and dumb but able to go to college for free. if they'd spend even a minute thinking about it, maybe they'd realize their thoughts about us don't make any sense, but no
So many people think Black students 1) get into any college they want 2) that our admittance isn’t based on merit and 3) we go to school for free.
YOU ARE CONVINCED THEIR ARE TENS OF THOUSANDS OF BLACK, DEBT FREE COLLEGE GRADUATES RUNNING AROUND AND YOU DON’T FEEL FUCKING DUMB?
everyone is lying about how together their lives are and where they are on their journey. focus on your own life and know that you will get to where you wanna be on your own time.
AMERICAN: What is... "cur-ry"
ME [crying]: we can't keep doing this you stupid fucking yank
AMERICAN: Britain eat this? sauce look weird... it am not real spicy food like Chick-fil-A
ME: [crying while loading gun with two bullets]
I’m not sure why people are having an issue with this. Hawaii is not like other states in that you’re not Hawaiian just because you were born there. That is a specific ethnicity
@DragonflyJonez
HS Bron was like Paul Bunyan. I still remember he was part of an ESPN feature on the old ABCD camp and Rick Pitino said he was the only surefire NBA player there. he hadn't even turned 17 yet lol
this is such a stupid argument. the biggest artist of all-time released solo albums in 1979, 1982, 1987, 1991, 1995, and 2001. was MJ not the King because he didn't release something every year? gtfoh
I love white people talking about times when racism didn't exist. just because you've conveniently forgotten the shit you and your friends did doesn't mean the rest of us have
I remember a time in video games when your race, sexuality, ethnicity etc…didn’t fucking matter.
The only thing that mattered, was if you were gonna pull up on Halo 3 after school cause we’re trying to get that Hyabusa Armor and BTB was the playlist that weekend

I have a friend who told me that this is her “having improved as a dancer” and I shudder to think about what it looked like before
I think the most important thing that most people *don't* know about OJ is that he was a serial domestic abuser and was extremely violent to Nicole *before* she was murdered. People who knew her said she often had bruises, black eyes, etc. She called police on him over and over.
I wrote about Newbern, Alabama, a small town that heard you have to let Black people vote in elections so they *stopped holding elections*
Black residents are suing to force the town to hold its first regular election in decades!
People are skipping over starter homes, and jumping straight into 300k+ Mortgages. That’s one of the reasons they’re financially failing. Your first car shouldn’t be a Bentley.
@theNFLchick
I also love how the rushing stats suddenly don’t count. Lamar’s total yards puts him comfortably in the top 10 and his total TDs are comparable to these guys as well
the same Michael Jackson who wrote Liberian Girl? who wrote They Don't Really Care about us? who gave millions of dollars to HBCUs, the UNCF, and other Black and Black run organizations? the one who fed Gary, Indiana!?!?!
They’re both black. But one did everything in his power to distance himself from being black, and the other one has gone out of his way to embrace his blackness.
I am so thankful he: a) has a financial advisor, b) called his financial advisor, and c) LISTENED to his financial advisor. This would’ve been a horrible decision to buy this car
I really hope Lamar realizes that the way to his destiny is with his arm AND his legs. He's the most dynamic player I've ever seen. he's more than proven he's a great passer, run these people off the field bruh.
Odell Beckham Jr. to Lamar Jackson during the AFC Championship
“You change the whole dynamic of the game when you take off…we gotta get some s*** going on, like what the f*** is going on”
And folks that keep saying, “we’re in the midst of a collapse right now”, not really. Not the way those of whose families fled literal wars have seen collapse.
like do folks remember why it's called "Watergate"? it's because the crime happened in the Watergate building. why are we adding "-gate" on the end of everything? cut that shit out
Black ppl. Listen to me. Please. I speak from places of love and exhaustion...
BAKED MACARONI AND CHEESE IS A SEASONAL DISH!!! IT DOES NOT BELONG ON SPRING/SUMMER SPREADS!!!!
Michael Jackson didn't win the AOTY Grammy for Bad, despite it having the most number 1 singles an album has ever had. The Grammys have been dead to me ever since.
you're not supposed to carry every conversation, and if you've been having to do that every time I suggest picking women with better personalities. also, if you always have to initiate flirting, she probably doesn't like you
So men are supposed to make the first move, approach the girl, Carry the conversation, initiate the flirting and ask for the number, then put effort in to get to know her everyday, court her & ask to take her out, plan it, possibly pick her up & pay for the dates? That’s A LOT😒
Joe Biden is running for re-election because we're still in the battle for the soul of America. He will have my vote AGAIN because I believe in democracy, freedom, and equality.
#BidenHarris2024
Let's finish the job. LFG!!
europeans make fun of Americans for being fat because they've never tasted the glory that is American food. we do a lot of things wrong here, but our food is not one of them.
Drake’s diss against ASAP is, “you have kids and a marriage with the love of my life. You’re very handsome and you dress very well”. We should all be this insulted
Drake throwing shots @ A$AP Rocky on 'Family Matters'
"Rakim talking sh*t again, gassed cause you hit my BM first, N**** do the math, who I was hitting then? I ain't even know you rap still cause they only talking bout your fit again"
"Probably gotta have a kid again before you
You didn’t watch the original video. He does not compare himself to Gen Z, but to Boomers. This whole thing is happening because she badly misunderstood the original video
1. I can’t believe this is still going on.
2. That baby does not look like she’s in her 30s.
3. A lot of millennials are definitely having a crisis around aging.
I’m so sorry but I’m still siding with the gen z babies on this. This is getting weird(er).
