MLK was only in his 30s when he got killed. He was 7yrs younger than Betty White and she was on the TL herself up until like 2 years ago.
There's a chance MLK could've been alive and on the TL himself rn.

center Marvin Bagley III announces that he and Alec Burks (who couldn’t be in attendance) have partnered with Michigan First Credit Union to pay off every loan (totaling more than $80,000) for approximately 18 families during the holiday season.
Hip-hop is still such a relatively young art form. It’s painful to have lost so many of its greats before they hit the age of 65.
The elder statesmen of rap are *young*. I want them to be able to grow old.
People like Kim Burrell are why I believe there should be more hecklers in church. If Pastor on some bullshit, don't wait till after service to pull em aside, throw a tomato. God will understand.
"female tendencies"
"very woman-like"
"This is a man's game"
Y'all hate when people use phrases like "toxic masculinity", but don't mind treating femininity like a shameful thing.
And to denigrate women while answering a question from a woman in the media is peak headassery.

You did the Lord's work (white Christians, by "did the Lord's work" I'm saying she did a great deed, I'm not blaspheming) with this tweet.
SmileDirectClub announced that it is ending operations “effective immediately,” and “customer care support is no longer available”
Anyone on the company’s SmileyPay Plan is still expected to “make all monthly payments until payment has been made in full”
Every time I see someone talking about
#MeToo
or other movements "ruining the career" of some white guy, I always think of how many of those white guys eventually pop back up after things die down. Mel Gibson is back. Hulk Hogan. Woody Allen never even left. Now here comes Louie.
Imagine telling Serena in 1995 that she'd still be playing 27 years later, in primetime, the whole world would be tuned in, and during her commercial break an ad would play for a young black female tennis star with braids just like her, premiering her signature sneaker. Legacy.
The Guardian used this black & white photo of the MOVE bombings (by Philadelphia Police Department, it's important to say who) like the events didn't happen in the 1980s. Half the millennials on your TL were alive for this. This is recent history. This is recent police terrorism.
White parents outsourcing the raising of their children cuz they're busy making $ for themselves. Black parents not being able to be there for their children cuz they're busy providing (much less) $ by raising the white children. The racism & capitalism trouble double.

Lmao my dad is absolutely appalled that folks spend $600+ for a table and one bottle at the club. Me n my cousins are telling him how the club scene is, and he’s disgusted lol

on the state of Hip-Hop📝:
“The problem with hip-hop is everybody could do it. It doesn’t take much fucking skill right now to make hip-hop. It’s become the lowest-hanging fruit. It’s no longer about Rakim-level, Nas-level, not the deep, metaphorical simile shit.”
When you try to reach for sympathy points by saying you're 'a dad, a husband, a youth minister, etc.' but you're really just reminding everybody that there are a lot of bigots around us who are 'a dad, a husband, a youth minister, etc.'
Wade & Durant are Exhibits A & B why you can't let people pick their own nicknames. World gave them 2 of the best nicknames in sports (Flash & Slim Reaper) and they were like "Nah, call us WoW and The Servant". 😐
The 3rd best player on a team that needed 26 games (more than any team ever) to win a title. That Celtics team needed to win Game 7s at home in the first two rounds & Game 6s in the last two to even win the title.
Some mid.
This was s Cam Newton fighting another pro athlete. This is Cam Newton immediately after being in a truck flipping over in a bridge. Maybe leave him alone.
Cam Newton got jumped by 6 guys.
Dude proceeded to handle each and every one of them and look unphased after.
Yall gotta stop letting these internet narratives boost your heads up. Football players are used to going against 300lb+ dudes. Yall not it.
Pusha T had a nation of high schoolers in lunchrooms drumming on desks with pencils when drake was just starting on degrassi. To say Pusha 'built his career' on anything having to do with Drake tells everyone you're either wearing Huggies or Depends.
Being yelled at and called a fascist in the midst of a session that is supposed to be providing relief to the extreme increase in Property taxation.

If R Kelly had YOUR 16 year old daughter at his residence engaging in sexual activity would YOU tell your spouse,
"Well honey, we can't just call the cops on one of our Skinfolk while Woody Allen roams the streets without consequence."
That's how stupid you sound.
Ana Navarro is a Reagan Republican. She dislikes Trump for lotta things she conveniently ignored in her political hero. People talking about "She's part of the resistance! Don't shame an ally!" Yall DO realize she's worked for GOP candidates who paved the way for Trump, right?
James Harden might be the greatest scorer ever, he’s the best player in Rockets history IMO, I say all this to say: Whatever the heck is going on there is ridiculous. Need more from him as the leader of the franchise.
CDC not gonna visit you in the emergency room. Nobody gonna visit you in the emergency room because they're still not allowing visitors. Wear your mask.
The Emmett Till memorial repeatedly getting shot up should serve as a reminder:
There are (many) people that are too far gone to be reasoned with. They are not to be converted, but condemed. And there is nothing wrong with that.
A lot of black history figures' revolutionary/radical stories were obscured/erased in order to package them for coopting by our society. Martin Luther King being chief among them.
There is video of Drake flirtin with & kissing on a girl who just told him she was 17, into a microphone, on stage, in front of fans, at his concert. You don't even need to scour the internet for it, it's here on twitter. You can say you don't care. You can't say it ain't true.

Tom Bullock, the man in the photo, made the first (and possibly only) cocktail book published by an African American. Somebody put it on the internet:
ESPN fired actual talented people with actual meaningful things to say and kept this wacko around just for her to leave on her own whining on her way out. Fuck sage Steele and fuck ESPN.
You, a 2003: So what's new?
Me, a 2018: Kanye West is an unhinged supporter of President Donald Trump. Martha Stewart is an ex con. Bill Cosby is a convicted serial rapist. Ben Carson's running HUD. Snoop Dogg is a successful gospel artist.
