Either tacos or chicken & rice burritos; if I want a quick meal that looks like it took forever, that Kroger taco seasoning with their chicken (in the can or the package) come in handy. Boil & cook rice for 5 minutes, cook the chicken for 2½, heat tortillas for 30 sec., and food is ready

King Von, xxxtentacion, YNW Melly were all people who had killed someone, but the police never killed them. Either theycwere simplyvthrown in jail or other nameless civilians killed them. I feel like the law is scared of those who have weapons, so they target those they "THINK" has one.

The Black nerd has been on the pursuit to prove that he is a marketable, sophisticated black who wouldn't hurt a fly. If #BlackLivesMatter proved anything, it is the ones who wouldn't hurt a fly that has been targeted more, not the gangsta with a tight crew.

“Cake walk” was this for me once I realized (by reading 19th century newspapers) that it’s a term for coerced slave performances where “winners” received cake

“Eskimo” - they’re the Inuit people. I believe this is considered an insult or slur or at least very offensive to them

“Peanut gallery” - these were the only seats black folk could occupy in theaters. I know many southern teachers loved referring to us as this for laughing in the back of the class

Here’s some words/phrases I no longer say due to racist origin that personally gave me the ick so I just stopped using them. I found often times I brought it up ppl just didn’t know so I’m sharing. Do what you want with this info. Okay, ready here we go 🧵

“1488.” ...a form of shorthand among white supremacists... It refers to the 14 words of text in the slogan, “We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children.” The “88” stands for “Heil Hitler,” with the H marking the eighth letter of the alphabet.

Is there a music moment you wish you hadn’t missed out on? For example: I wish I hadn’t missed Kurt Cobain/Nirvana and Radiohead.
