I try to believe what I feel these days
It makes life much easier for me
It's hard to decide what is real these days
When things look so dizzy to me

I already know my children's children's faces
Voices that I've heard before
There's always more
There's always more

Wandering leaving the sea behind
To my home which everybody owns
Wandering, wandering
Where we can do what we please
Wandering

Yeah I’m just sayin’ (sayin’)
I’m just sayin’ girl
I’m not trying to hurt your feelings
I gotta say girl
You fucked up
Now I don't even want you
Can’t believe I wrote another song about you
You fucked up
You made another mistake
Now you know that I’m not the type that you can replace
You fucked up
Now I don’t even want you
And I noticed that I’m better off without you
You fucked up
Now that I got some cash flow
And I have everything that I’ve ever asked for
You fucked up
You fucked up
You fucked up

Don’t be calling on my phone no more, please
You fucked up
Sober, peace
You fucked up
I don’t love you no more
I don’t love you no more
 
"As a white mother to a mixed race child, I couldn't 'cope' with my daughter's hair"

There aren't enough emojis for bullshit right here. Like you had a whole 9 fuckin months to watch a handful of youtube videos. You ain't know what you signed up for?! What did you expect your kid to come out with blonde hair, blue eyes or something? Like holy fuck, you think black women came out the womb with knowledge on how take care of black hair? They had to learn that shit just like anyone else so this whole "woe is me" shit is so fucking annoying.

Lavar Ball yelling at a bunch of kids. AAU.

There's too many warning signs and red flags for this dude. Kid to his left in the video just has a look, like 'help!'

At this point, there are like 5 legitimate reasons to hate and only one reason to support him. Let's not continue to think he's getting hate for one reason.

Agreed. I always thought to myself, is it bad of me that I side eye the fuck out of couples when I see them with an obvious black-mixed-black child with hair that hasn't been taken care of, where you can tell theres clearly damage to it.

Friday for example, I was out and waiting on the side for my food at a take out shop. I see this couple whom is clearly White man and Asian woman walk in with this little black boy. Didn't matter to me whether he was mixed or not, he was a little black boy and I looked at his hair and it was bad, I could tell from where I was standing his hair was dry and he hadn't had a proper hair cut/trim/shape up.

I felt bad for not saying anything, because he was scratching his head something fierce, but its not my kid, and you know how people get when you even try to suggest something, at least from my experience you look like me approaching someone and they get defensive real quick even though I'm just trying to help. I see little girls with their hair just in a pulled back ponytail and I know its damaging their hairline.

IMO, these people are probably the people that love the idea of having a "mixed child" but don't know how to deal with the reality of them when it comes to hair, and don't take the time to learn out of their unnecessary frustration.

I was generally curious on where on would learn this. YouTube wins again.

How you gonna make us great, when we were never really that amazing (nah like really)
Take it back to what, I don't find hanging black lives entertaining (nah like really)
How do you police the streets of a neighborhood you do not engage in (nah like really)
Why a brother get three for a sack while your brother go free for a raping (nah like really)
How you make a film about Egypt with all leading roles caucasian (nah like really)
How you saying all lives matter when the stats say we are not adjacent (nah like really)
 

Man, I bet The Roots loved that.

Ugh. The info is out there. All the Google. All the YouTube. All the libraries. All the bookstores. The irony that they are willing to engage with black babies but not black adults.

I was at a Target in the newly expanded "Ethnic Hair" section. Most of the major natural hair companies were represented and Target had pics of the CEOs and Founders of the black owned (or originally black owned) companies. They are not fucking around. And I saw a white couple with a black kid in the aisle. I wanted to cheer...for them actually doing their job.
 
Hey, Slay, I've been drawing and painting portraits of comic book characters, but I've only done The Joker and Harley Quinn so far. I want someone really interesting or different. Got any suggestions?

I might do some Spidey villains too, but I don't just want to do obvious characters. The style I'm doing is kinda like a mix of Bolland and Fabry.

You could do some cool-ass shit with Venom or Carnage. The symbiote slime thing lends itself well to some interesting portraits

Mixed raced kids are like a weird creepy fashion accessory.

I just realized I've never drawn a symbiote in the twenty years I've done art. I might try it, though I was looking for something more obscure, like Humbug or Overdrive, or someone that deserves more good art that doesn't get it.

Fuck it.

Gonna start watching DBS subbed. The dub is on 18 and the sub is on 92. That's too much of a gap; I wish they would do two episodes of Super a week.

Ethnicity is not a race!
SUP.

Man it's actually pretty nice outside. Time to...sit on GAF for a while.

THEN I'll do yard work!

Yeah...

It is so very very sad that there are people out there with an opinion like that. My son is mixed, and my husband and I have always been about love and making sure he is well aware of what he is in this America. The oil goes on the scalp. He and I go to a BLACK barber shop. And I'm sure that if I were not in the picture, my husband would make sure that this would still happen. This is why Colin Kaepernick's birth mother is trash.

No black barbers round my way, but I go to a dude that understands my fro. I see so many white girls with mixed kids and the dads no where to be seen it's mad. Then you get people going " aww look at that mixed girl/boy" like being mixed is the in thing.

Lavar Bell gets hate for no reason and this video is proof. He's a coach on AAU team so of course he's going to yell at players. Everyone can't be Tony Dungy.

Can you do that Police Lives Matter symbiote from the Marvel Universe? Do that one or Scorn?

What yall doing? I'm over hear getting getting ready for all the scrimmages happening in the NFL this summer. Looking for some promise from my guy Deshone. By promise I mean getting a decent lineup and improving his grasp of Hue's offense. My guy Carson Palmer better improve on whatever BS that was last season.

Just left the ER over some bullshit and now have to eat the world's most awful diet.

Those are totally new to me. Scorn looks cool. There was a Police Lives Matter symbiote? Who was that? Are you talking about Toxin? That's all I can find. Sounds awful.

Warlock

The Lost Generation had a lot of interesting designs

Oh, these are neat. Totally different direction from what I was thinking, but I could do that. Can you tell me any more about the Lost Generation?

I've got enough suggestions now, I think. Thanks, everybody.

Right now I've got: Monster Ock. Living Laser. Ambush Bug. Psycho Pirate. Scorn. Police Symbiote? Warwear. Warlock. And finally, The Lost Generation.

Just draw some pregnant sonics

Go take your meds.

.
He promotes himself as a big baller and claims to be better than Jordan, blah blah blah. I'm a fan of shit talking but when you put yourself out there, you ain't immune from people calling you suspect with an AAU team with your brand on the front, losing by 52 points.

The questions that immediately come to mind is:
He's suspect
That $500 price is suspect
He's more interested in his brand than everything else.

So what about these kids who just want to play and put a lot of money up for the experience? Who turned on the camera? It's a social media world and these kids are now on video. Sure, a lot of coaches yell but i usually don't see the video. Coach em up and try not to embarrass them on camera. It looked more grandstanding. I'm trying to figure out the coaching aspect of him calling dude out for getting dunked on. It seemed more shit talking than strategy. Turn the camera off. It's right in his face so we can hear him clearly in a loud gym. I'm not impressed.

Now, is his persona preceding him? Maybe but when your kids get whupped by 52 points and you on sports center with screaming A, you brought they on yourself.

But i agree that some are trashing him because he's black and going a different route but I'm having trouble being a fan and not just wanting his son to flame out.

And that's my last point. We should be fully focused on Lonzo, not his father. Not his old coach. Not his old teammates. Not his shoes. That's going to be my biggest point. Lonzo is getting cloudy because his dad never got his 5 minutes. And that's some bullshit

A neighborhood "pioneer" huh?


Does mean like, a white person trying to be the first one to gentrify a neighbourhood?

hilariously bad, fitting that she's super racist.

From the article:
She suggested that comedian Eddie Murphy made a career out of using the word, and added that she grew up hearing it on television in the 1970s show “All in the Family.”

“Now, all of a sudden, I can’t use it?”
Ms. Smith said in a phone interview on Friday. “Sorry—I live in a black neighborhood. I came here and didn’t see color.”

Oh my.

Is this real life anymore?

Go take your meds.

In between WW2 and The flight of the fantastic four's flight there is a big chunk of undefined history. 50s-70s/80s depending on where the sliding scale is. So marvel did a series detailing superhero shit that went down during that period, and why it isn't mentioned. It involves time travel, skrulls, and a goverment coverup. It was a great series that i think i was the only one that read it

Might i also suggest Wildcore and Darkhawk

Oh, that sounds neat. I feel like I'll just end up reading it and won't get the art done! lol

Wildcore, I looked up, and I feel like I could make better art of them than the actual series. Darkhawk is neat.

This is the Joker portrait I started this portrait series with, so anything I do with these suggestions will be in that vein.

Now I really do have more than enough suggestions for now. These are all really good suggestions. I'm excited to work on them.

I like the fact that despite the name and design, Darkhawk isn't really all that edgy.

Yeah Darkhawk was attempt to launch another Peter Parker type character. But there is an edgy version. Portal, a native American mutant that found a nonfunctional copy of the Darkhawk armor and became a interdimsenional bounty hunter

slight shade on Fallon too. Mans had to be taken over to appear on Trump's favorite talk show. Hollywood machine has him in that sunken place.

She found herself a magical negro

there are literally hundreds of millions of us. so it's easy to find a magical negro. but a white person finding their magical negro is very rare indeed. Worth making a movie out of it every tiem. You can even become president.
