I was lucky to follow in my dad's footsteps, he owned his first house at 26 by the time he was 36 he had 2 other properties. Most of my uncles, aunt, and cousins all own their homes. I snatched mine at 28 and I don't see this being an easy process for my kids.

Somebody needs to tell that old cac that people have gotten used to wearing slides & b-ball shorts to work.
Eating a turkey & cheese with a bag of Funyuns during on company time is the new normal.
If I want to participate on a company Zoom meeting while using the toilet, that's my right as an American!

I'm a contractor doing an emergency maintenance call just to change the door lock and I walk into literally a crime scene young black people hold the black people specifically FBA men and women fighting each other is definitely not the way learn from this......

What's going out there in Houston? It was like 1AM and then jack boys rolled up like. These were pros...they even got the Suburban.

Dr Clark always said to the collective black man we have no friends for some didn't catch that message over four decades ago and we have others out here banging the drum really heavy trying to beat it into your head the real black media is real and the New Black media is real correction and I'm saying all this to say we have to analyze and play chess instead of checkers these pictures are of previous years and present we need to stay focused and understand that the refugees they bring over here from the Ukraine are only here as suspected three soldiers.

Lo0ks like a change of heart with some of them, as an #FBA I've always embraced my African ancestors, most of us did. Look at early 80's rap videos, everyone rocked the African medallions, I still have some to this day!
It was the Africans that didn't like to see us embrace our African roots, why? I have no idea... #FBA has done everything in our power to show respect for the motherland and its people. Now that they are getting a rude awakening with this Ukraine war, they realize that they are not something different, they are always going to be seen as a nigga through the eys of a non-black person... Always!

If you had to pick a top three, which would they be for you? He has so many amazing songs that it is hard to pick just three but after listening to his music again lately, I have gotten my top three. This is based on a few different things for me. The music video, the beat, the lyrics, and the impact.

For me it has to be these ones:

There are shortages of food happening already and with this war, more are on the way. We will see farmers struggling next since we get most of our fertilizer from them (Ukraine) and they stopped exporting it. Be prepared people! I stocked up on beans, dried pasta, and other goods that will last a few years shelf life. I am going to get a few things growing as well soon as the weather warms up. I have a friend at work who owns a farm so I will have some access there. He is always giving us stuff - veg, fruit, eggs, etc. I wouldn't blame him if he started charging for it but at least I know a local spot.

Is anyone else preparing for this mess?

They cashed BOTH my Aunties checks but when I try and cash mine? I am called a thief and that I may have printed this check out myself. No this is exactly what I think it is. #BankingWhileBlack is in FULL effect here in Ann Arbor Michissippi. Now my coinbase account is all jacked up and this is not fair

This week two incidents of "teachers" using the N-word in class have been resolved with neither teacher being fired. Black children are supposed to be protected by the community, starting with their parents. So where are they? And why was this Pinkerton MF allowed to retire with full benefits??? That's what I want to know.

1984, Minority Report and many more media creations awoken us long ago to the capabilities of technology for the 21st century. It will be incumbent of the same to keep abreast of whats happening and keep it in check.

Its been a whole five years since Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild came out and its impact is still being felt by the industry

I don't know who she is but her answer to "what should Black people be doing about Ukraine" is what needs to come out of every #FBA's mouth when asked. Especially on a platform that thousands will see.
#StayOnCode people, the Shift is happening and I'm honored to witness it. ✊🏾

I never took part in it. I never used any of the apps or even considered it. I have a lot of friends who have and do use and frequent these online dating apps, sites, etc. I feel like they are all struggling to find happiness and fulfillment in a relationship. Some are either in it just to get a sexual fix or they are looking for something more with dudes who are coasting in and out DMs. I feel like online dating is ruining people. Share your thoughts.

I watched the SOTU last night. I was not able to watch it when it was on. Wasn't planning on it but I didn't want to be fooled by the media and wanted to make sure I got the facts straight when people tried peddling Biden's BS to me.

So he basically said nothing about Jan 6th, was talking about border security (after inviting all those illegals in), was in favor of pushing MORE support for the LGBT people, glossed over women's rights, and even called for MORE police funding. The cherry on top? He did not once mention black injustice, the targets of white supremacists but made a point to talk about Asian hate crimes saying they happen too often and need to stop.

Is this meant to be a joke!? Pre-election he was all for us but now that he has his power he is doing a 180. Honestly, I am not surprised.
