“You know what they say What the Devil mean for bad, God use it for good, right? Well, I'm sure the people who put crack cocaine in our communities infested us with all this hate, all these guns, all this violence, all this rage You see they never counted on us takin' those very experiences, packaging them as philosophical presentations set to music about the experiences And how many people would relate to it and how much commerce would come from it Yeah, they didn't count on that Heh, that they dumb ass It's trap music” - #cliffordharris #perfectalbum #everythingisayisthetruth and #thatsalie and #thatsthemotherfuckingtruth #artprevails #doesitlooklikeyoufedme #fastingseason #decolonize #thepurge #cleaneating #cleanse with #dherbs #thankyouforlisteningtomytedtalk (at Fast Religion) https://www.instagram.com/p/BokMNHUDF2f/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=h7kej2euovd3

Had a #endofsummer ball in #htown kicking it in the #birthdayweek #cusp with the #virgo #libra cousins and hanging with the #easttexas homie. A stellar performance by #renaissanceman #childishgambino was a dope way to end a day spent appreciating the #houston #artscene (at Third Ward, Houston) https://www.instagram.com/p/BoES-K_Dnke/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=133flznwz38ab

“An artist’s duty, as far as I’m concerned, is to reflect the times.” - #ninasimone So, as #luck / #fate / #divineprovidence would have it we @blackwritergonerogue are probably the only two people in the world to experience #backtoback this weekend these two artists #laurynhill and #robertglasper , who seem to strive to embody Nina’s #creative #freedom in very different ways. Ironically, despite their recent public disagreements, the themes of their shows were similar in several ways...but I digress. This show last night was so unexpectedly amazing that none of the pictures and video clips I took do it justice. #glasper #christianscott #derrickhodge #justintyson #taylormcferrin and #terracemartin would have been plenty on their own #oneverythingilove but guest appearances by #lalahhathaway #lupefiasco #terrycrews AND #herbiehancock !!!...#manlisten #ifyouknowyouknow (at Genius Produced) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bn4HxOJjvZk/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1bujvn5ojxt3c

This #laborday scowl is in honor of #geoffreyowens appreciation weekend. Peace to all the men, women, and children willing to put in work on a #sidehustle whether it is just to make ends meet, or a step toward making your wildest dreams come true. #respect #respeck #wishamuthafuckawould #silencetheshame in an #honestdayswork ・・・ #Repost #firefire100 ・・・ Ge🖤ffrey Owens He is the bomb whether he's on Cosby or working at trader Joe's. But we live in a world where success is measured by money instead of character. My new #blackexcellence entry is #GeoffreyOwens For God's sake someone give this world class worker a job seeking his passion. P.s. outrage culture can leave other people unemployed (see Roseanne) Bill Cosby is a p.o.s. but syndication checks keeps money in every actor's pocket. Screw him but should everyone from that show suffer eternally for one person? Just don't send bill a check, problem solved ・・・ #Repost #kendra2shay ・・・ Television images often times serve as our mirrors, showing us the good, the bad, the most possible versions of ourselves. The truth. As a child this man and the entire cast of The Cosby Show took me on a journey and allowed me to see a world outside of my own. As an adult having studied under this great human being, has been nothing short of amazing. Allowing me to dream, stretch, create, and be my truest most authentic artistic self. Thank you Geoffrey Owens for being an incredible teacher, mentor, and forever friend. You keep holding that mirror up and forcing me to see myself for who I truly am and I love you dearly for that. #actingclass101 #mentorship #geoffreyowens #dothework #craft (at Labor Ready) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnNIf00j-4j/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1uqnp3676hiax

“If you don’t let them scare you, they got nothing.” #blackaugust #allpowertothepeople #allthepeople #shonuff #yadig #fdt #decolonize #blacklove #❤️🖤💚 ・・・ #Repost @fiyawata ・・・ Our beloved RBG Flag is 98 years old today! ✊🏿 The red for the blood. The black for the wo/man. The green is the color that stands for the land! “The red, black, and green flag was first designed and used by Marcus Garvey and members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association (UNIA) in 1920. A racist 1900 song called “Every Race Has a Flag but the Coon” was one of the hottest songs of the time among white America, and was responsible for establishing the term “coon” in reference to Black men and women. This song so infuriated Marcus Garvey, that he commissioned the RBG Flag as the standard of Pan-Africanism. “Show me the race or the nation without a flag, and I will show you a race of people without any pride. Aye! In song and mimicry they have said, “Every race has a flag but the coon.” How true! Aye! But that was said of us four years ago. They can’t say it now….” -Marcus Garvey The Declaration of Rights of the Negro Peoples of the World was drafted and adopted at the Convention of the Universal Negro Improvement Association (the organization that Marcus Garvey created) held in New York City’s Madison Square Garden on August 13, 1920. Among the articles is Declaration 39 which states as follows: “That the colors, Red, Black and Green, be the colors of the African race.” (From panafricanalliance.com) (at Black Star Line Brewing)
