  1. Well, it seems Lizzo, the poster woman for fat and fabulous may have landed in some lard: https://www.npr.org/2023/08/02/1191675195/former-dancers-accuse-lizzo-harassment-creating-hostile-work-environment The white media gets a kick out of building n8gglets up and tearing them down. They don't really need any help from us. I have no idea of whether or not the allegations are true. Considering how many black folks they've taken down well before she came along...Lizzo should have known better. All she had to do is keep that flute over her pie-hole. In case nobody told her today...she's not that "Special"...not to white media.🤣😎
  2. I haven't seen the Little Mermaid but I've heard about it. Is it true that the movies is basically about this Black mermaid who chases around a White boy and seeks her love and approval?
  3. Read the article "THE BLACK FAMILY IN THE AGE OF MASS INCARCERATION" by Ta-Nehisi Coates published in The Atlantic
  4. @ProfD and many people become very untactile in their lives before they become seniors
  5. These last few post are too funny! But there were some gun violence in the 60s, sad to say. However, as you say, it wasn't many, mostly knife crimes. I remember when I was in 2nd grade the school intercom announcement warned us about a gang called 'the Jolly Green Giants' jumping kids while walking home from school. It gave me nightmares. But thankfully, I had a few male cousins that were rough enough for the threat, and probably were, uh, ya know what I'm finna say . . . LOL. They showed up a lot to jump in and help me and my sister out, as we did get in a lot of fights on the school grounds. I remember Mahogany Books, but I am out of sync. I don't know what it has to do with Chuck? Anyway, Katt Williams is too funny! Oh! I love Iverson mall! DC!!! 🤣 You made me laugh till I started crying.
  6. Yep. Some of them critters are pretty robust. I saw one go through the turnstile in front of me to go into the subway. It clearly ate well it was huge and it's coat was thick and luxurious! Man, if shit goes really south New Yorkers could hunt rats for their fur and meat. Yeah, Chuck Brown was an icon.
