I also had the honor of profiling the life and work of Dorothy Pitman Hughes, a Black feminist champion who recently passed away. Hers should be a household name! instyle.com/dorothy-pitman

They will be harsher. There are studies on this. The one that sticks out to me is how Black women judges hand out the harshest sentences.

I feel like people who are *surprised* that the cops who did this are black are about to learn a part of "the Talk" that my parents at least always emphasized: The race of a cop is "cop." *Never* be under the illusion that a Black cop is less likely to brutalize you or kill you.

Niggas will try to “it’s biology” everything when they can’t make a sound defense for their predatory behavior.
“We want to date 19 year olds and marry 22 year old at 40 years old because it’s biology.”

A masterclass on R&B melody and vocal production.
Andre Harrell (RIP) and Heavy D (RIP) were true hitmakers.
They’re Black
The police chief is a Black woman
Let’s be honest abt the circumstances
If they were white or if the chief was white, who knows what would have happened

Yup or when a virtual class ends, they thank me. I also thank them and I’m specific. “Thank you for being present” “Thank you for participating today”
Quote Tweet
Do your students say "thank you" when they are walking out of class after it has ended?

I’m at a sushi restaurant. 1st, it took ten mins to get a glass of water. Then as I’m ordering my rolls, she keeps saying “that’s raw you know”. Just now, she brings me a fork and says “just in case”. I ordered 3 rolls. She hasn’t given any others forks (I’m looking around)

Y’all know I don’t ask y’all for much of anything
But
I applied for a big grant and I *really* want it. Dare say need it. For the 🏳️🌈 community.
If y’all can keep me in your positive thoughts and intentions and send me some energy I’d appreciate it

Just randomly heard a verse from him and he has the essential components that make rappers great

Similarly, it’s rather gross that people are eagerly awaiting it so they can watch 5 police officers beat a man to death.
Who are we becoming?

There is a particular ick factor to media outlets like CNN hyping up the release of the video of police beating a man to death like it’s a Pay-Per-View event.

They love to make us captains of an already sinking ship.
If we save it, they get to pat themselves on the back.
If it goes under, we go with it and they get to say "see, we tried with one of 'yall".

Don’t think I haven’t noticed that they have been putting Black people in leadership (presidential) positions at universities across the country as many schools are losing students post pandemic and amidst rising costs. Lots of strikes going on too.

And what’s worse is that people who can’t read are the ones deciding what books should be banned. How are teachers facing felonies for teaching The Bluest Eye? This entire country has gone mad. Why the entire country? Because we’re letting it happen.

Part of figuring out who you are in this world is facing challenges and learning how to overcome them. It is being in uncomfortable situations and learning from them. They are trying to remove any and all discomfort. Anything they don’t like they want gone.
