He really can NOT stay out of trouble lol. It’s kind of crazy to me. Snatching a fan’s iPhone and calling her a bitch because she took a picture of JUST you… sitting in your car. Unnecessary if you ask me. But you know… teambreezy all day I guess *end sarcasm*
Chris brown is a certified punk and the sky is blue

An Environmentally Friendly Post
Dating an environmental studies major makes me way more aware of the destruction of the earth than I’d probably like to be! He tells me about all the problems with the earth’s condition and how no one has stepped forward with a movement to save it. Other issues are always more important, and the end results of said issues are always more money and profit. Politicians are always so...

No we don’t. If we did there wouldn’t be any titles for specific races. There wouldn’t be a need for distinction amongst races at all.

Exactly. That’s all we ever learned. Of course we had some black history trivia for inventors and such, but in the overall scheme, our accomplishments still aren’t discussed enough.

We wouldn’t need to scream “black pride” if we were never oppressed in the first place.

I really don’t understand why it still bothers whites that we have institutions or months, or anything for that matter, to celebrate our own heritage. You don’t complain about Caribbean festivals or Asian art museums, so why is there a need to complain about a Black history museum or ONE month?

isn’t having an entire, national museum for BLACK history ONLY a little racist…
can we get a white museum too?
::thunderous faceplam::
every other fucking museum is for white history. Are you kidding me?
If racism didn’t still exist, whites wouldn’t still complain about Blacks celebrating their heritage and...

So I've been applying for jobs all day...
..and I really feel as though, all the thousands we spend in college, we should be guaranteed a job prior to graduating! lol. Call me lazy if you please, but the money we pay should include a job position. Society tells us if we don’t go to college we have a lower chance of having a well-paying job. Well I’m here to tell you that… our chances are still low!

tlazohtlaloni answered your question: You know who never makes the “female rappers” discussion?
a lot of female rappers and hip hop artists never get the credit they deserve, its a shame because there is so much talent out there!
Exactly! Even in most cases all I ever hear about is Foxy brown and Lil Kim, but people rarely acknowledge Da Brat or Missy

Left Eye! And it’s crazy to me because she was sooooo good! Her Waterfalls verse was amazing to me; every verse was lol. Maybe because she wasn’t solo, but still, great rapper to me.

self-revelations
I’ve been having a lot of self revelations lately. I never understood what “finding yourself” meant when I was younger, but I feel like during college I never really knew who I was. Lately, I’ve been remembering events, or lessons that I’ve learned from past turmoils and they sort of explain why I am the way I am. Like they say, you won’t know where...

just an observation
We live in a generation where we don’t respect the same values as we did before. We don’t respect relationship boundaries, each other; we don’t even show respect in times of death. There was once a time where grief followed the loss of a human being. Now it’s followed by mocking comments, jokes about the person or how they passed, saying “it was expected”, or...
