For those who won’t read past the headline, at least you’ll know his name
Dear Media,
Serena Williams is 19-2 vs Maria Sharapova.
She has beaten her 18 times in a row.
She has beaten her 14 straight years
it’s not a rivalry...
Yesterday Lynching was made a federal crime.
Not 1865.
Not 1964.
Not the Emancipation Proclamation.
Not the 13th amendment
Not the Civil Rights Act
Not the James Byrd-Matthew Shepherd Act
Yesterday. 2018.
Emmett Till was killed over a white womans lies.
The entire town of Rosewood was burned down over a white womans lies
The history of Black Death at the hand of white women lying is long and dangerous. Not okay.
MAGA kids are racist
MAGA teens are racist
MAGA adults are racist
Black folk in MAGA are anti-black and hate themselves
We are not putting sugar on sh** in 2019.
It’s sad that women are conditioned to think men have to drag them through hell to get to heaven, and men think cheating and being terrible is part of the process of becoming “a man”

says she's kind of "happy" the cheating scandal with her husband

went down because it made him a better man. Oh. More when you click the link in our bio or swipe up in Stories!
“I have the best advice for women in business,” Kim Kardashian says. “Get your f--king ass up and work. It seems like nobody wants to work these days.”
I’ve been with this man for over a year... everyday he inspires me to be a better person and that makes me feel like the luckiest girl in the world!! 🌈🌸❤️
Rihanna’s L.A. home was broken into by a stalker who spent the night in the hopes of having sex with her.
The intruder was tased and arrested Thursday morning after Rihanna’s assistant found him inside the home.
A reminder to any queer person not understanding riots and looting.
The Stonewall Uprising was 5 days of rioting, looting, and VIOLENT protests against the police.
These RIOTS, led by Black & brown trans & queer folx were the catalyst for the reason we have LGBTQ rights today.
To think.
That In America.
We have to wait years.
For approval from the Senate.
For marginalized people to have.
Water...
Your flag means NOTHING to my people
#CyntoiaBrown
was a child sex slave
She had been raped and sexually assaulted for years. At age 16 she killed a 43 year old man who was a sexual predator. She is in jail for life.
She is the victim. We have to fight to protect black girls.
Vaccinate Your f*cking kids.
There is no logic in “my child died but at least they didn’t have the slim chance of autism from a vaccine” WTF
And if you aren’t gonna vaccinate your kids KEEP THEM WITH YOU and away from potentially killing other folks kids.
The woman who lied and got Emmett Till murdered received no penalty.
Black people are doing life sentences on 3rd strike weed charges.
Full display of whiteness at work.
One day. Y’all will stop teaching boys their manhood comes at the expense of owning/controlling a woman’s agency.
Women getting killed for staying, killed for leaving, and killed for not entertaining a mans advance. Must stop
That white lady was shot in the head, gave birth unconscious, killed a kids mama & said pull up when you old enough, killed everyone whomst crossed her and in the end read a bedtime story to the child they stole from her. All. Without. A. Gun.
How a paramedic show up and not even try?
Y’all literally just assuming Black folk dead now. Black bodies just disposable. And I’m sure everyone will keep their jobs.

A referee wouldn't allow Andrew Johnson of Buena
@brhschiefs
to wrestle with a cover over his dreadlocks. It was either an impromptu haircut, or a forfeit. Johnson chose the haircut, then won by sudden victory in OT to help spark Buena to a win.
They thought he was gay
They fed him animal feces
They beat him
They burned him with cigarettes
They thought he was gay
But yeah. We got an agenda. And we are the problem. And y’all homophobic shit is just words...til it ain’t
The University of Tennessee just gave a four-year scholarship covering tuition and fees to the boy who was bullied for his homemade T-shirt and welcomed him to the Class of 2032
Asian students have been convinced by white folks that Black students have been taking their spots in college. Now more white legacy and affluent students will get in and take those spots Asian students thought we were taking.
“If you can only be tall because someone else is on their knees, then you have a serious problem. And white people have a very very serious problem” - Toni Morrison
And yes, the cost of Space Force, a 6th branch of military could fix the problem in Flint.
The cost for Melania to stay in NYC instead of DC could fix it.
This country is disgustingly anti-black
Why are you lying
@jordynwoods
?? If you’re going to try and save yourself by going public, INSTEAD OF CALLING ME PRIVATELY TO APOLOGIZE FIRST, at least be HONEST about your story. BTW, You ARE the reason my family broke up!
President Trump: "It's a very scary time for young men in America when you can be guilty of something you may not be guilty of. This is a very difficult time."
A transgender bar was shot up and got NO COVERAGE. A black trans woman was injured and got NO COVERAGE.
If Black Lives Matter, so do black trans lives. We gotta do better and be more vocal.
