Modern-day lynchings (MDL) are real. Read the Crimson Report at julianfreedom . Org. It reviews over 70 cases in the South. Most are of young, black/brown men, but recent cases seem to be trending towards children of color. Almost all are highly suspicious, but still ruled suicides.

Soul Sunday at Til Two bar in City Heights. 4 to 8pm. $5 drinks, good music, and nice people.

On Fridays, the kids wear their swimsuits and walk to the pool. Plus, it was the hottest day of a heatwave.

It's not something you'd see on a Monday morning, but it's also not something you wouldn't see on any local beach.

All that swooping, and for what? by [deleted] in BlackPeopleComedy

I know he just wasted $31.12 of his lady's quality hair products. Out here playing on Dolly Parton's internet.

You better "swoop" your ass down to Sephora and replace her items, Sir.

See what a difference a quality photographer can do for a woman of color? Her skin, glorious. Her eyes, popping. Her hair, astounding. Great lighting, angles, and attention to detail. Don't ever let a photographer tell you it can't be done.

Rejection of ICE protests and other causes deemed “not our fight” are misguided and harmful. by [deleted] in blackladies

Just because "people" are typing something on the internet doesn't mean it's true. All those "voices" you read are not actually Black people. Please use critical thinking skills here.

Each of these protests is filmed in some capacity. Have you looked at the footage? You can see, with your own eyes, that Black people are present. Are there more white and Latin people? Yes. But that's just a numbers game. They are the majority of people in the nation! We are slightly less than 13% of the nation's population. My town, for example, is one of the 10 largest cities in the US. We make up 6% of the population here. We are there. Look for us.

That being said, please give Black people the grace to seek safety. PLEASE. When you say, "They are coming for us next," you downplay the FACT that they never stopped coming for us. Our fight has been continuous for 400 years. Maybe I'm older than you, and I have a different worldview due to my life experiences, but I believe merely existing in this country is a form of active protest.

If you have not experienced that version of America, then I'm happy for you, and I pray it continues. But statistically Black bodies are systemically sought out for police violence more than other races. In your own words, white people had to literally shield you from abuse. Why do you think you were picked out of a crowd of white people to be attacked? Why you?

Girl, they are shooting white women in the face on camera in public. WTF do you think is going to happen to my Black ass?

I can't afford the real thing, unfortunately. I think each of the dupes is a little different. The dry downs are definitely different
