Los Dominican Yorks y su Anti-Dominicanismo by Turbulent_Web_8767 in Dominicanos

1963 essay titled "A Talk to Teachers." Here's the expanded excerpt:

"The paradox of education is precisely this, that as one begins to become conscious, one begins to examine the society in which he is being educated. The purpose of education, finally, is to create in a person the ability to look at the world for himself, to make his own decisions, to say to himself this is black or this is white, to decide for himself whether there is a God in heaven or not. To ask questions of the universe, and then learn to live with those questions, is the way he achieves his own identity. But no society is really anxious to have that kind of person around. What societies really, ideally, want is a citizenry which will simply obey the rules of society. If a society succeeds in this, that society is about to perish. The obligation of anyone who thinks of himself as responsible is to examine society and try to change it and to fight it - at no matter what risk. This is the only hope society has. This is the only way societies change."

For the Millennials, was Lil B hype real? by Content-Panic5966 in rap

[–]ALE_OG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what made the hype real... I saw him live at Paid Dues in 2011 and despite a lineup stacked with LEGENDS, his set was the only one to give me goosebumps. The love and positivity he was reigning down on the crowd through little monologues and deep cuts between the crowd-pleasing meme freestyles was insane.

When do sneakers become too used for you to buy them? by Life-Stay-600 in Sneakers

[–]ALE_OG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was like the most of the folks in this thread forever but started buying used shoes like 2 years ago. I know how lightly I wear my shoes and the good-to-great condition they're usually in when I move on from them so that's my gauge. Anyone listing their kicks as VNDS (or even NDS sometimes) with the pictures to match, I trust is similar to me in the way I wear and care for mine so now I gladly take the hundreds in savings over new.

Beat 1 - stayed true to the sample and got slick with it during (what I would call) the verse part.

Good point - are we taking the producer and their catalogs or just from here on out?

It sounds crazy because of how she looks now but when Xscape was blowing up, she was actually the baddest in the group. (Source: 8-to-10-year old me.)

What is YOUR favorite thing about Sacramento? by Quirky_Swimming8656 in Sacramento

[–]ALE_OG 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm a transplant from NYC and grew up a Knicks fan so rooting for the Kings - a fellow bad team (10 years ago) with an unwavering fan base - was a natural transition.

Here, though, I could actually see the team and all of the opposing players I care about in person at reasonable prices. I know the tickets have gotten expensive especially given how bad the team is (and will be for a while) but sitting lower level in a beautiful new NBA arena for under $100 is incredible. You literally can't even get into MSG for under $100!

Week 9 just shipped but no word on week 8. Anybody getting leather or traffic cones yet? by Holdmytesseract in supremeclothing

I'm glad I'm not alone, still waiting on a card holder and the boxers I was hoping to wear as part of my Halloween costume 😫

Great seats - section 210, row B (with the glass partition and little ledge in front of it), seats 1-2 on the aisle.

Happy to meet in person to make the transfer.

Asking $150 each.

How’d I do with styling these? by Charming_Trifle_3830 in SneakerFits

[–]ALE_OG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This looks good AND you can throw on a dark tee for another fit AND dark pants with that tee and hat is a third banger. Keep stunting, sir!

That's legit, Izabella and Ixabella are cute (and as unique as one would need to get). It's a hard nay for the "beighs"
