I have no hate in my heart. I don’t understand hate. When I say, “white people,” I’m speaking of the structure and the destruction inherent in whiteness. You may not have contributed to both, but you can’t help but contribute to one. Your being is a part of the structure. Change begins there.

People that have convinced themselves they are nothing without their position are in for a rude awakening. You can fight now or fight later. But know, you're already in the fight, it's just a matter of which side.

We should protesting for a boycott for the Olympics and World Cup now. How can we host the world when we are alienating ourselves from it?

I do hope D'Angelo and Angie Stone owned their music. Their son deserves all of that legacy wrapped around him for generations.

It appears faux nudity is the rage this season.

I find it interesting, tennis players are not getting the same heat for participating in the "Six Kings Slam" in Saudi, as the comedians did. This slam even tops the U.S Open, with prize money at $6M. I guess, F1, Golf, and tennis, the "high end" sports are ok to let slide on these things.

If that's the said meat they have, no, thank you. I can just tell their bedroom is a mess.

So we're saving Argentina. Cool. Cool. Birds of a feather I suppose. Hate recognizes hate. Stephen Miller must be thrilled.

They have the same political beliefs as Stephen Miller, just better beef and wine.

Do not be surprised if the turkey pardon is cancelled this year. That man does not want us comparing their wattles.

I fear too many will refuse to fight before being thrown off. To me, that is more frightening.

D'Angelo broke the internet before there was the internet.

"Emergency Care" businesses are the new banks. One on every block. Imagine the amount of fraud we're going to hear about in a few years, if it takes that long. Then again, they probably have THAT man in their pockets.

He's been in office 267 days. We have 384 days until the midterm elections. We've already waited too long, the midterms are too far away. At this juncture, waiting for midterms is presumptuous.

People spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to be considered intelligent, only to be intellectually dishonest. That's nasty work.

It's not your job to carry the baggage.

Might I encourage, pointing and laughing hysterically at any politician or ICE. They are used to boos. They can spin that. You cannot spin someone pointing and laughing at you like the joke you are. Being mocked is their worst fear.

Just because you are "value added" does not mean they care about you. It merely means you provide something they need.

So what I think I'm hearing you say is, it will be slow and painful.

CHANCLA!

I think we ask so little of those that don't. Those seeking power cannot do so without those that don't. You cannot expect a few to think of the whole, but the whole should stand up to the few.
