- “Ariel wasn’t Black!” & Jesus wasn’t white. Cope.
- “Meet me at the altar in your white dress. We ain’t gettin’ no younger, we might as well do it” is so ugly.
- A Black woman vs. A caucasian convict Even Shonda couldn’t write this rhyme.
- They have Mariah Carey promoting her album on a K** C*nat stream. The world ain’t supposed to be like this.
- This is your reminder that in 2015, #LakeithSmith (a 15-year-old), was sentenced to 65 years in prison for the death of his friend who was murdered by an Alabama police officer. Lakeith is now 23, still in prison, & yes- you read the first sentence correctly.
- I wholeheartedly understand André disappearing with a flute.
- I want my timeline to come here real quick. Enjoy the #Oscars tonight, but remember: Black creativity is the sun. Black creativity will be the sun even when the white gaze pretends it is not there. We do not need permission to rise. We give you life.
- “We already knew Tevin Campbell was gay.” I don’t care if you wait until you’re 97 & on your deathbed to come out. It’s beautiful, brave, and worth celebrating- especially in a world that already hates you.
- “Let me go check on these gd garbanzo beans.”Ari Lennox be talking about the most random shit in her lyrics, fucking behind trash cans, stained pillowcases, late rent and Coke Zero, but please believe that shit slides every time!!!!
- In other words: “The jokes I steal from Black people don’t land in a predominantly Black city. Most of my material is on the edge of racism. It’s easy to realize that I’m not funny when my target audience isn’t present.”
- Katt has a tendency to veer off into an outrageous lie after telling the truth. What provoked him to say he was 8 years old reading 3,000 books per year?
