Black privilege is being able to save money all the time when you're out shopping because the people that work there assume that you don't want to buy something so you end up buying it online for less money instead.
 

"And as I laid there, bound to the bed, the fervent anticipation of coitus looming over us like a red-tailed hawk to a squirrel, I made out the faintest glimpse of a chess set sprawled out on the chiffarobe, me and my mother's favorite hobby. Turns out Andy's favorite hobby was totin' his wall out into the exercise yard, a handful at a time. I guess after Tommy was killed, Andy decided he'd been here just about long enough. Andy did like he was told, buffed those shoes to a high mirror shine. The guards simply didn't notice. Neither did I... I mean, seriously, how often do you really look at a man's shoes? Andy crawled to freedom through five hundred yards of shit smelling foulness I can't even imagine, or maybe I just don't want to. Five hundred yards... that's the length of five football fields, just shy of half a mile."

bitch I'm taking calls.
Ha. Knew what this was before I clicked it. Good choice.
that wii/busta remix is too good. i cant stop listening to it
Word. I've been jamming out to a bunch of tracks all day. The 2pac/Streets of Rage (slow moon remix) mashup is also hot fire.

Black privelage is when I go to the store to buy a drink, a soda mostly. I drop $1.50 on the counter. The cashier says "its 2 bucks". Then I check my pockets and say "Damn, I ain't got 50 cent on me". Following this, he notices that I'm short and proceeds to say that's "its OK this time" and let's me keep the soda.

Black privelage is also when the above happens several times at the same store.

Nah breh, back in high school I did this with fast food all the time. Maybe they just thought I was Drake black.

Good morning family. May your day be awesome. I'm gonna go job hunting today.
thank you. break a leg fam.
It warms my heart knowing the president of the university torched those kids in less than 24 hours. No "ongoing investigation," no "determining motivation for the full extent of their actions," no "waiting for more information to roll in." Straight-up calls them out on their racist behavior and expels them.

On an unrelated note, based on that "are there any black superheroes with ice powers" conversation I had with Slayven a while back, I just remembered there is at least one:

on the dvd there's a 70s style cartoon, you should watch it with the commentary on. it's the character's doing the commentary, not the actor's as themselves. it's very funny.

Black privilege is when people consider you to be superior at sports or 'better in bed' without it being considered racist.

wtf white folks are the ones who came up with those stereotypes to begin with. lmao at the backfire.

Black privilege is me wondering who the hell pays 2 dollars for a soda.

Nah breh, back in high school I did this with fast food all the time. Maybe they just thought I was Drake black.

Took the words right out of my head.

Unless it's a 3 Liter bottle, you shouldn't be paying 2 dollars for soda. Shit is cheaper than bottled water.

Protip: CVS is selling those 12-packs of canned soda at 3 for $8 this week.

I was about to quote the whole damn page for this one lol. Not too long ago I was borderline diabetic, so I don't drink too much sugar and caffeine. Never bought a pack of whatever drink you can get. Living in NYC, I see that Coke, Pepsi, Sprite, etc usually varies from $1.75 to $2.50.

I don't want to get diabetes brehs.

Well ya, don't drink Soda in the first place, but if you are going to indulge here or there, don't get ripped off.

If I am gonna drink liquid poison, it better give me a buzz.

Black privilege is when i come into BK late at night after work, buy some of the dollar menu items and pay with my change because back then i was all about having change in a separate change mini change wallet (not a purse) and the (different minority) worker puts some extra food in my bag and i just wonder "wtf" but then just smile and say thanks.

Man it's been over seven months without a job. It's not that I'm not trying, I suppose it's just that I'm picky. I know where I want to go but even entry level HR applications become a slog of time consuming failure. I think times like these, hopeless times really show me what kind of person I am. It gets harder and harder as I age to keep these stresses within. I use to be so good at concealing or deflecting my feelings, but these days the dam is full and cracking. I cannot be perceived as copacetic by most people anymore and so they have me stressing even more about being unable to cope with my own mistakes. "You should never worry about things you can't control" I always tell people but damn if I don't feel guilt in making others worry about me. I've quit drinking entirely which is much easier than I anticipated but things really haven't changed. I'm slowly tapering myself off of nicotine and things are changing. What I'm trying to say is that I'm attempting to be better for myself and people I love and I see little to no changes in my life. This past year I've been tremendously optimistic trying to keep my cynical nature at bay but these days I just don't feel like life is pulling any punches. I'm still trying to turn things around regardless, even if I feel it's all futile. My vast number of friends are nothing but acquaintances to me now. My relationship with my mom is at an all time low. I'm trying to turn this around, but just like most relationships in life I feel like I'm doing this more for them than me. Forgiving my mother for her abuse-- really it does nothing for me. I know what type of man I am. I also know That I'm doing this to show my sister that everyone deserves forgiveness if they want it. I know I'm doing this to show my mother she's not without fault. Though I decided a week ago that I was going to try and reach out to her I'm still hesitant. What am I waiting for?

one of the few good things in my life (my girlfriend) that isn't a mess just makes me feel guilty. I can't take my girl out like I want. I can't give her the things I've given in the past to others that didn't deserve it as much as she does. She's traditional so even if she offers to pay for things, even if we've talked about how she can help, I still feel guilty when she spends a dime. "This is 2015!" I tell her and myself but the guilt doesn't end. The worst part of this unemployed thing by far is her mother. Her mom is just a lower tier level of my mom with a more serious judgmental side. we've been in this relationship for 7 months and her mom refuses to meet me without a job. I know we are the choices we make but damn if I didn't make a mistake quitting my last job without a hope for the future. In the end it was the right choice for me whether it was smart or not. I know, I know, most of us hate our jobs but I've never been the type to let security keep me complacent. I've always been ambitious and in my head weighing the options. I know this will all pay off in the end but the journey to get there is just perilous for my psyche given the other frustrations I've had to contend with. Then there's always the small sliver of doubt in my mind that I'll lose what little I do have still. Fuck if it doesn't stress me out.anyways sorry for the blog it's just been a real stressful day

Kk crusing one of the better kk slider joints there is another version in the gcn version i think called aircheck. Less cruising and more "get dumb" is the only way i can describe it

So the employment situation is still shit around here huh. Yeah.

I've managed to make a couple steps forward, but despite my sincerest intentions to make 2015 immediately feel like a better year than 2014 (where I was broke/out of work basically the entire year), it's quickly looking like more of the same shit.

Be real with me for a second: Am I gonna have to move? Is NOVA just not a place to live for people with writing/editing skills?

I agree with you. I'm old enough that I come from a 'time' where it wasn't readily available when I was younger - you had to seek it out and you got what you got. Now, I don't know how growing up with porn everywhere can affect your thoughts on what sex is, what it's like, and everything it influences. Wonder what the far-reaching effects are. I'm sure Vice has done some video on it though.

They did, but specifically for Japan.

Coping with hard times.

It's clear your girlfriend is your main support. Let her know how much you value her. It shouldn't be monetary. Go for walks. Do a free activity together with her. Even just telling her how much you love her/respect her.

When my dad was in his 40s he went through 14 months of unemployment and it really dragged him down to some dark places. This was a dude who had multiple C level positions on his resume and he couldn't get shit. Those dark places would have definitely been darker if it hadn't been for my mother's support, though.

I know things seem bleak now, but you will make it through this and emerge a better person.

She's always here and I tell her every chance I get. man, it's just crazy that I'm at where am. I'm trying to not get caught up in my past vices but it's so easy to go to dark places when I feel hopeless like you were saying. I won't give up though. Thank you for the kind words, esms.
 
Two OU kids got expelled for that chanting shit.

LMAO, "If you disagree, go see the Equality Opportunity Office before Friday. Here's the location because I know y'all asses never been there."

They really about to give it to them now, they got 4 and 5 stars decomminting to the football program. All those boosters and donors dont like that
 
God damn racists, the lot of you.

Especially JC. OH he can use the N-word like it's punctuation but I can't recite my faovrite hip-hop-isms? Hypocrisy at its highest.

At least with Kotite, I didn't fully appreciate his shitness until later. But now I'm seeing this car wreck in action. We are just a few more stupid moves until we lose a couple of high draft picks for 3-4 years.
