    1. I think some black men think that because they face racism/discrimination, they think they can’t possibly have any other power or privileges as they navigate through life. But facing one form of oppression doesn’t cancel out other privileges. And recognizing that doesn’t mean one is negating the other kinds of oppression black men face. Or something.

    2. I don’t even know. I’m right there with you.

    3. Not yet!

    4. Global warming?

    5. Homicide rates are usually broken down by age and race. So that information is available but not consolidated and focused solely on black children nationwide (or globally). It should be aggregated though.

    6. Yes. Yes you should.

    7. I don’t know, but soon, I hope.

    8. I have to remind myself all the time. I forget this often.

    9. Rain is soothing. Especially thunderstorms.

    10. But then…it wouldn’t be a phone…

    11. Because you know people 50, 60, 70 years from now need a record of things like this. Especially now when news cycles are so rapid and things like this are forgotten almost immediately after it happens.

    12. Awesome, I never heard of her before. Gracias.

    13. Hey, that’s not a question! (And I already follow him.)

    14. Saw the trailer. Just…wow.

    15. I did not know the exact number. I just knew it happened a lot. Goodness.

    16. DC Jazz Fest is coming up. Haven’t made any concrete summer concert plans yet though.

    17. Yes.

    18. Doctored some leftover green pepper+ tomato pizza with olive oil, arugula, and some herbs and spices my mama bought for me.

    19. Depends on which one you go to.

    20. I’ll always love Queen Latifah on the basis of “U.N.I.T.Y.” and “Living Single” alone. I’m kind of sour on Common right now. And the trailer for “Just Wright” pretty much gave away the entire movie. But I’ll probably still end up seeing it.

    1. I think because society as a whole including black women remind them that they don’t or that they are slim at best. That being said, I think most black men do realize they have privileges they just to live up to them or desire to for one reason or another. Those that do grap hold of them realize that there is power in those privileges or that those privileges great a chance to gain power outside of how you feel about yourself on the inside.

    2. Because the system was designed to be that way and most people have adopted a capiltalistic mentality that only feeds into our designed way of living which is to be indebt to someone else.

    3. No. But I heard that new USHER go cop it!!

    4. Im on a island its warm here guess it depends where your at.. like life!

    5. I dont keep a tally but from what I see the numbers seem to be going up and its sad and ridiculous.

    6. What is your crack proposal exactly?

    7. When you get a chance.

    8. I realized that years ago I think when more people realize that and don’t feel like they have lost control of their life and surroundings more people will be at peace.

    9. I think our subconscious using the rain as a renewal process washing away our worries or past sins. The same concept that is used in movies such as the shaw shank redemption and many more. But having that kind of peace if even just for a couple of hours will make anyone sleep peaceful.

    10. when we go back in time. lol

    11. Because you love your people.

    12. I love black women but don’t know this person. Must not know the ladies like me! lol

    13. !

    15. That number is tooo high! And 1 is high for me.

    16. None
