Here’s my two cents-
You can truly tell people who do not know business or understand budgets.
Some of the criticisms around #Coming2America have been extreme overreach.
Firstly, I’m tired of seeing the comparisons to Black Panther.
1
Black Panther was a Marvel super hero sci-fi film with a $200 million budget.
Coming to America is a black comedy fantasy on Amazon w/ a $60 million budget.
🤦🏾♀️ I guess I can see the correlation w/ 2 fictional countries in Africa & movies starring an all black cast.

Truth: and this is going to hurt.
There are some of you who think that if Biden’s administration didn’t address your issue yet- that nothing has been done for black people.
The problem is you refuse to acknowledge black people that are not just like YOU.
How many of you ACTUALLY paid attention to the executive orders issued before you pontificated about how you knew this administration wasn’t going to do shit?
There are few things black people agree on universally.
I have black friends who don’t and will never believe in God or heaven or hell.
But we ALL unanimously believe that there is a Wakanda. And the person who made us ALL believe in its possibilities has left us.
Weighing this loss is nothing short of a cultural mourning. Our experiences in this world were highlighted brilliantly by this brothers art. I watched Da Five Bloods and watched my fathers war experience come back alive.
That’s who Chadwick was. He gave us pain, brilliance and

Now they’re staring at me like who is this tribal looking chick with these braids and a mask.. I persisted. “Have you ever voted by mail before?” One answered- I did. I said “ Did you question back then if your vote was counted?” She answered I didn’t really think about it.

When I was 14, my mom took me out of private school and moved us to the suburbs of Maplewood, NJ. It took me a couple years to adapt to our new life & chief among that adaptation was the racism I experienced walking home from school & in neighborhood stores.

I was triggered today by the comments of the man baby who lives in the White House. It reminded me of the many times I was stopped by police for just walking home in a large group of black teens. Teens whose family made the sacrifices to move them to a “better” neighborhood.

@SRuhle Stephanie I love you, but this is problematic.
Defund the police means employ policy to demilitarize the police departments AND stop assigning the bills to taxpayers for police offenses.
Why should the taxpayer hold the bill for civil settlements for rampant police abuse?
@SRuhle Defund the police means hold police unions accountable for their members. Defund the police means civil settlements should be handled out of the police pension budget and NOT taxpayer dollars. I’m willing to BET I’d cop pensions were levied in these settlements- they’d find a way
