And some of us know we can get better food without bullet wounds. But you future Chief Keefs in here can keep risking your lives for chicken if you want to. What's that phrase Slavyen always says about ice skating? That's what Church's is.

I feel like something we tend to forget, especially as black men, is that the jokes and so on that our male white ''equals'' make and so forth. Are just the manifestation of male interaction norms. We think racism, but we rarely think of it in terms of gender. All too often I see black men hand waving questionable things from white women, but if it came from a white man, they'd speak up or challenge then on it. White men don't exist in a vacuum. They come from white women, and they both share the same social standing and same privileges. But we all have that friend, don't we? The one who let's his girlfriend use charged language around him, the one who'll sleep with a woman he considers racist, and rationalize it.
There is a dark history of abuse from white women to black people, women and children especially. When white men slept with black women, it didn't mean they loved them. When they enacted policies and laws that they claimed was to protect their own from blacks, they never sought to protect blacks from other whites.
So my question is why? Is it really as basic as sex with some of these men? Because I'm sure that if they really wanted white women so bad, they could find those that liked them for them relatively easily. So why do we lower ourselves? To feel wanted? To prove a point? That physical intimacy means more than silence on racism? Even with feminists, other women. There is a rift in the level of care when it comes to black women. Gay community, same problem.
I think we need to start being very careful about our own self worth. Black lives matter, yes. But that chant is old. Until we start valuing our own lives and communities with the same deafening response that they deserve, white people will continue walking all over us and using us for their own gains and pleasure.

I'm bout to dip back into this Evo too. That's a damn shame about Tekken.
Making it to top 8 without having the game out in America against Jap&Korean pros who had it for months is a feat.
Finally cleaned the house.
Omg dude gives no fucks. Not sure if he realizes he's on trial. Lol

Drinking wine with my friend's gf
And watching TV while we wait for him to return
Chill as fuck, actually
Watching Jamaica vs Haiti in their first quarterfinals match ever for both teams.
Sorry she got got in grand finals even with the advantage. Never taunt. Especially when you are 17 and the opponent could be your dad.
Old people get buffs when you do that.
Hype matches tho.
Nope. I hadn't even heard of the term till your post. Sorry.
Playing Dragon Age Inquisition and watching NJPW matches.
The ignorance is entertaining as hell.

Finally got to go home for a few weeks and catching up with my crazy family and learning my grandad died as I was leaving yesterday.
It's nearly, no pun intended, black and white from being in Cali with a more mixed group of people. Nice change of pace.
In related news, I haven't had koolaid in over 3 years now.

Slay, what's up with the Bernie shade? I've noticed a lot of blacks on the different podcasts I listened to kind of throwing shade on Bernie, but I don't get it. This dude has a long resume when it come to fighting for civil rights. Joe Madison asking him if he would apologize for slavery is really disappointing. Like, what the hell kind of question is that?
Don't waste your time overthinking about stuff nobody has the answers to buddy.
Man, this is still some of the best, most chilling music set to a movie. You ever seen said movie, you instantly remember the scene it plays over

It was canned after mounting accusations that I was "a white man attempting to supplant the black populace with quantifiable statistical worth" and "trivializing, appropriating or otherwise disparaging elements of the black community and their culture(s)"

Man wtf was that dude thinking there was no way he was supposed to lose that. That shit was ridiculous. Evo in general has been hype and full of upsets. Top 8 for marvel and sf will be interesting tomorrow so many of the heavy hitters were eliminated so early in the tournament.
Woooooow. I had no idea KI was hype

The entire Top 8 was hype. Just had a dull finals last year.
Something very similar happened to me with my grandparents, one of my big regrets.
I don't mean to depress you even more fam, sorry.
