Dr. Dre told Ice Cube and Mike Epps that Larry Smith is the GREATEST HIP-HOP PRODUCER of all time, explaining how he inspired an ENTIRE GENERATION but never got the recognition he deserved, while also giving Sylvia Robinson her flowers for her impact on hip-hop 👏🔥

It’s because people who are newcomers to the US want to steer the wheel on conversations they have no business even being in. Our history isn’t intertwined in the history of any newcomers. Stop
Trying to attach yourselves to us.

BLACK PEOPLE WHO PASSED THE BAR FAILED THE BAR, AND WHITE PEOPLE WHO FAILED THE BAR PASSED THE BAR. A WHITE WOMAN NAMED NANCIE GIVENS HAS BEEN CHARGED WITH 64 COUNTS OF TAMPERING WITH BAR EXAM RESULTS BETWEEN 2020 AND 2025. AND HER CASE WAS SEALED FROM THE PUBLIC!

White people in the modern era benefit from the racial hierarchy created by slavery. Case closed.

Wrong. Black people do not benefit from this white centered society. In fact, Black people have less wealth due to slavery, segregation, and discrimination.

Black people in the modern era benefit from the societal system created by white people. Case closed.

A band called 'Death' was punk before punk was punk
Formed in November 1971 by the 3 Hackney brothers, they were influential pioneers of the genre and, along with Pure Hell, the first all-black proto-punk/punk band.

We hold medical professionals to a higher standard—and for good reason. Her license should be reviewed. As a trained medical professional, she should've known better than to post this. Medical professionals are explicitly trained in professional ethics, integrity, and decorum.
And my thing is, if she's most comfortable with African people, wouldn't it make sense for her to return to a place where her services are needed? She could genuinely make a difference there. Someone who publicly expresses these attitudes toward Black American communities shouldn't be practicing medicine in the United States, where she is expected to serve a multicultural society.

As one who grew up on that side of the Bronx, knowing the demographics then and now, the hateful vitriol being hurled at Black Americans is based in hatred towards us. The majority of residents near where Javits was murdered are African immigrants, Caribbean and Dominicans. His murder has been used to push further diaspora wars and cheap shots at the very people whose ancestors made it possible for them to be here. Nasty work.

Rest in peace, Clineice Stubbs.
Clineice married Levi Stubbs of the legendary Four Tops in 1960. They remained married for 48 years, from the early days through superstardom until his death in 2008.
The Four Tops were one of the greatest vocal groups of all time. Just as Levi remained devoted to his wife, he remained loyal to his group. The original four stayed together until death separated them. Levi even turned down a major role in Lady Sings the Blues because he wanted his group included.
Their music, especially “I Can’t Help Myself,” influenced generations of artists, including the Beatles, Elton John, and the Rolling Stones. They were every bit as great as the Temptations, but without the drama, they rarely receive the same attention.
Through it all, Clineice stood by Levi. Lawrence, Obie, Duke, and Levi are all gone. The original Four Tops chapter is now closed, but they will live forever in sound.
RIP, Clineice Stubbs. #BamFamilyTree #Incensenashtrays

After I found out “drinking the Kool-Aid” was in reference to what happened in Jonestown/Jim Jones, I stopped using that phrase. It was actually Flavor Aid that was used....
These kids didn’t commit mass suicide, they were murdered.
