Seeing black British Caribbeans constantly trying to deflect from the fact that we gave Africans hell back in the day is crazy, we need to take some accountability as a group it’s ridiculous.

Rappers used to be fine enough to hang posters of them on your wall.
Now they look like the monsters under the bed.

End-stage 'Afrobeats to the world':
One of the greatest delusions of Nigerians refusing to fix the local music industry was "they don't have our sauce. Everyone will come to us."
Even after seeing the stripping and reintegration of Caribbean genres into the global music splicing machine.
Afrobeats is there already. Every pop culture space has stripped, redefined and melded Afrobeats into their local offering, making it far removed from the West African originators.
This dude doesn't need to come to Lagos for no 'sauce.' He already unlocked his own new and familiar thing.
This is end-stage Afrobeats to the world.

The Afroman Trial.
-Cops raid Afromans house for bullshit reasons.
-Steal money, break his door, fuck his house up.
-No criminality found whatsoever, no charges at all pressed on Afroman.
-Afroman spends the next 3 years making songs that make fun of all the officers involved by name, even using footage of the raid from his own CCTV cameras.
-Songs had titles like "Randy Walters is a son of a bitch" and "Lick Em Low Lisa" accusing one of the officers of being a lesbian and sleeping with the other officers wives.
-During the raid one officer looked like he was about to eat some lemon pound cake sitting on Afromans counter, Afroman made a whole album calling the officer fat.
-The cops get mad and file a lawsuit for defamation.
-Afroman turns up to court in a whole American flag suit.
-Officers performatively mald and cry while listening to the songs really trying to oversell how badly the songs upset them.
-One officer was suing because Afroman made a whole song about him saying he was fucking the officers wife. When the officer was asked if Afroman was really fucking his wife, he said "I don't know". Nuking his own case and establishing that there is a non-zero chance that Afroman might actually be fucking his wife.
-As his only witness for the trial, Afroman brought a deputies EX FUCKING WIFE.
-The jury ruled completely in favour of Afroman.
This entire thing has been a great win for free speech and absolutely fucking hilarious.

Denzel Washington played Steve Biko
Morgan Freeman played Nelson Mandela
Jennifer Hudson portrayed Winnie Mandela
Don Cheadle portrayed Paul Rusesabagina
Forest Whitaker played Idi Amin
Danny Glover played Kwame Nkrumah
Eriq La Salle portrayed Patrice Lumumba
And the list goes on…
For decades, African American actors were cast to portray African figures, and we did not complain the way you are now… Get over it!

A conversation with a man:
Me: All men
Him: Not all men
Me: okay. You have a daughter, right? Would you be comfortable with her going to a party with a bunch of other girls, with no boys present?
Him: yes (without hesitation)
Me: cool. Would you be comfortable with her going to a party with a bunch of boys, with no girls present.
Him: no (without hesitation)
Me: why?
Him: Cause there will be at least 2-3 boys who are a problem.
Me: cool. So if those 2-3 boys do something horrible, will the other boys step in? Say something? Tell someone?
Him: (hesitates)....
Me: exactly. All men.

On my bucket list:
Receiving a dress and heels with a note that reads,
"I want to see you in this tonight."❤️
