I have a lot more, obviously. And I know. I know. No, seriously. I get it, white people. You saved us from ourselves and filled our lives with the joy of "Now That's What I Call Music!" endless commitment to the "Reply All" email option, oppression, icebreakers, and Stevia. The sarcasm is disguising my undying gratitude. #black #blackness #blackgirlmagic #melanin #travelnoire #jesustakecarrieunderwoodscareer #blackexcellence #culturalappropriation #roomraiders #noseriouslythankyou

I get it. Their ice is colder. Their grass is greener. No, seriously. I get it. But remember that no matter what you say and no matter what school you go to and no matter how many of their theme songs you can hum along to, you're still right here with us. You're on this team whether you like it or not. You're basically the Dwight Howard. Just saying. #blackness #blackgirlmagic #blacklivesmatter #melanin #racism #selfhatred #wegetit #youthinktheylikeyou #youthinkyourewinning #youthinkyouhavesomethingthattherestofusdont #andyoudo #itscalledcognitivedissonance #itscalledstockholmsyndrome #itscalledyouhateblackness #wegetit #blackexcellence

It had been several months since our last encounter. I had practically counted the minutes. Then today...there she was. Walking up the steps just like that. I could feel my posture shift--my back slumping under the uncomfortable weight of sudden, but familiar insecurity. She spoke first. Nelly (the insufferable dog who lives in my building): If it isn't @jillisblack. Me: You know that it's just Jill. All I want to do is go inside, okay? Please find your owners and leave me alone. I began to search frantically for my keys. Nelly: You gotta get inside so you can screenshot some more evidence of you manipulating 14 year-old racists, huh? That's got to make you feel good after a long day of adulting. Me: It's not like that, Nelly. Nelly: I like those um...what do you call those videos you do where you talk about relationships like a smug little know-it-all? Me: Unsolicited dating advice with @jillisblack? Nelly: Yeah, those. Lots of videos now all of a sudden. That's different. Me: It doesn't mean anything. Nelly: Sure. Right, of course. You're on that other tip now, huh? Working out all of that junior high Oreo rage? That's cool. I see you. Me: It's not a "tip," okay? It's not a fucking tip. I'm going inside. Nelly: Somebody in the comments section wants clarification about that whole "are you mixed thing." You want me to answer them for you because I've seen your--- Me: Goodnight, Nelly. Nelly: Alright, girl. Good talk. #selfie #blackgirlmagic #thecutlife #sometimesthishappens

Originally I was all, "Diss me and you'll never hear a reply for it." But then I started drinking wine out of a mug and reading my horoscope and suddenly I was more like, "You take my love for granted. I just don't understand it." #ineedtospeaktothemanager #thispersonprobablyhassummerschooltomorrowbutimnotashamedbecause #blackgirlmagic

We live in a world where white people get to say that all racist people are simply, "dumb." Meaning that to see me as a human being requires intelligence. My God. #blackout #blacklivesmatter #blacklovematters #imtiredofyallliberalstoday #imtiredofyallgettingcreditforsomethingbasic #dnc #jonstewart #stephencolbert #justtoearnthehashtagof #blackexcellence #weoutheregettingfivedegreesinprisonandopeningninebakeriesinEastOaklandsixdaysafterourreleasedate #butyallsmartjustforseeingracism #okay

You're not better than me. Unless you still use a RAZR phone. In that case, you definitely are. #unsoliciteddatingadvicewithjillisblack #blackexcellence #bae #baegoals #relationshipgoals #relationshipquotes #tenyearslater #fashion #aesthetics #yourabilitytospottrendsdoesnotindicateahealthyrelationship #yourmutualfitnessprogressiondoesnotindicateahealthyrelationship #theimprovementofyourcameraphoneovertimedoesnotindicateahealthyrelationship #oritmight #ineedreceipts
