"And since we all came from a woman, got our name from a woman, and our game from a woman. I wonder why we take from our women. Why we rape our women, do we hate our women? I think it's time to kill for our women, time to heal our women, be real to our women." - 2Pac (Keep Ya Head Up)

Please join me in sending prayers of healing and strength to DMX’s family. I hope they find peace in knowing that because he’s riding with the angels, the demons can’t hurt him anymore.
DMX We love you and your lessons will live on forever. God bless.

“The most disrespected woman in America, is the black woman. The most un-protected person in America is the black woman. The most neglected person in America, is the black woman.” - Malcolm X
Chadwick Boseman portrayed history makers like James Brown, Jackie Robinson, and Thurgood Marshall, and then HE made history as Black Panther. One day, someone will play him and carry on his legacy the way he did for the men before him, and I hope he loves it as much as we love him. Rest in Power.
Also, he was diagnosed with cancer in 2016, but he’s been consistently working with multiple charities and constantly using his voice to uplift others. The brother was fighting for his life, but he still made time to fight for ours. He really was a king.
Ain’t nothing but a gangsta party..

Malcolm X, ‘Democracy Is Hypocrisy’ speech, 1960
«My brothers and sisters we have to put a stop to this and it will never be stopped until we stop it ourselves. They attack the victim and then the criminal who attacked the victim accuses the victim of attacking him. This is American “justice”. This is American “democracy” and those of you who are familiar with it know that in America democracy is hypocrisy.»
