The most trifling men in Black music history:

A thread
10. The guy in Jodeci who’s trying to get you to “Stay”

1st of all, he’s not sorry he left you crying, he’s really just sorry he’s all alone.

But here’s the effed up part:

He only wants you to stay FOR A LITTLE WHILE!

You better get your good bra & leave! You know what up.
9. Frankie wants to tell you something “before he lets go.”

He’s CLEARLY telling you that he’s gonna break up with you!

Even though he swears there’s “nothing, nothing, he wouldn’t do,” there is one thing:

As him for his stimmy before he lets GOOOOOOooooooOoOOOooo
8. Why does Jamie Fox want to “Blame It” on everything else?

The fact that he’s drinking vodka AND Henny should’ve tipped you off. Everyone knows Hennessy is the Satan’s urine.

This nigga clearly has a drinking problem.
7. I’m not saying “Billie Jean” is Michael Jackson’s lover...

But you should get a paternity test before you believe the kid is not his son.

That boy looks like Michael spit him out!
6. Tyrone’s lil friend be tripping

We all go through financial hardships and your woman is supposed to have your back.

But asking Erykah to pay your way and your homeboy’s way and even your cousin’s way is a bit much.

YOU KNOW she’s an artist & she’s sensitive about her shit.
5. I know she said she’s “Not Gon Cry,” but...

She was your lover AND your “secker tear” and you didn’t give her a DAY OFF!

I don’t even know what kind of labor tearing seckers requires, but after 11 years of sacrifice, you could’ve at least taken her to a breakup dinner.
4. Usher not gonna do ANYTHING

You two OBVIOUSLY have some kind of hookup arrangement, which is none of my business. But if he was REALLY gonna leave the one he’s with and start a new relationship, it probably won’t be with you.

Wait...You think you’re the ONLY ONE???

HAHAHA!
3. The guy who makes doves cry

Doves HATE to see abusive relationships. You’re in one. That’s why they’re crying.

I know Prince’s family. While his father was a little ostentatious, I wouldn’t call him “TOO bold.” And I’ve PERSONALLY seen his mother satisfied more than once.
2. That guy who won’t say your name:

Why are you even asking him so many times? You know why he’s acting shady and ain’t calling you baby. Why are you even taking this kind of abuse? You’re BEYONCE!

Doves are crying right now.
1. “The Boy” is not EITHER OF YOURS!

Brandy! Monica! Look at yourselves! You were BEST FRIENDS! Now you’re out here fighting, putting your business in the street, making yourselves look like fools while everyone’s talking about you.

And you know what that boy’s doing right now?
I just called him. He said he’s trying to find a new “secker tare” but I know he was lying.

I think he’s on the phone with Beyoncé.

White people are storming the Capitol Building to support a white nationalist president and many people are saying: “If Black people did that...”

Not me, though.

I know.

It was a dark and stormy night...

(I’ve always wanted to tweet that) But seriously, there was a tropical storm when a group of people gathered in the woods.

If they were white, we’d call them “founding fathers” but they were slaves who were about to change the world

A thread
Voudou priestess Cecile Fatiman danced with a knife. Then she split a pig and everyone drank the pig’s blood from a wooden bowl while enslaved priest Cutty Boukman prayed:

“The god who created the earth; who created the sun that gives us light. The god who holds up the ocean;
who makes the thunder roar. Our god who has ears to hear. You who are hidden in the clouds, who watch us from where you are. You see all that the white has made us suffer. The white man’s god asks him to commit crimes. But the god within us wants to do good...

Aight. Here’s my favorite 2 stories about Bill Russell.

Both stories reveal how much of a humble human being he is. And one blows my mind because it dismantles what we think about the evolution of sports.

A thread:
The first is, that there is an assumption that today’s athletes are faster, stronger, etc. which is is based on ZERO evidence.

For instance, Wilt Chamberlain benched 465 lbs at 59 years old. Arnold Schwarzenegger says he benched 500 lbs on the set of Conan the Destroyer
Most basketball experts say Wilt has the highest vertical leap in NBA history. A few others argue that Michael Jordan did.

I think they’re both wrong.

Why?

Well let me tell you a story:

RIP KC Jones, the ONLY man to win Olympic gold, multiple NCAA titles; and multiple NBA titles as a player, asst. coach AND head coach.

Jones revolutionized sports, just not the one you’re thinking about.

He's the reason the NFL plays the way it plays

A thread:
Alongside his lifelong teammate Bill Russell, K.C. JONES went undefeated as a point guard of the 55-56 University of San Francisco Dons and won 2 NCAA titles and an Olympic Gold Medal.

He played on EIGHT NBA championship teams.

He was an assistant coach for 2 NBA champions.
As a head coach, he won 2 titles.

Every team he ever played on IN LIFE, went to the playoffs. He was 8-0 in the NBA finals

Every team he ever coached for went to the playoffs, except when he retired halfway through his final season as Seattle coach.

This is an example of a problem called “mechanical racism” that is rarely talked about.

This happens a lot and when it does, some people are brave enough to point out the racism

I think those people are wrong .

A thread.
A lot of black people have experienced this phenomenon, especially people like myself who have darker skin tones.

Here is great example:

I can’t wash my hands at IKEA.

Why?
The way this works is that light is reflected from the hand to a sensor, which turns on the water/soap/etc.

But darker skin tones ABSORB light, so when I walk into restroom that uses this technology, I know there’s a 50/50 chance I can wash my hands.

That’s because you don’t know what you’re talking about.

A thread:
The reason you think this is because white people make the laws.

Take NC for instance. It’s voting restrictions were struck down by a federal court because, according to the court they ...you know what?

Read it for yourself.
A WHOLE different court said this about a Texas law:
