Blacks would do so much better if they #WalkAway from the Democratic plantation of oppression and dependency.

Racist in #Chicago drops the n-bomb on brotha minding his business and catches the Blue Line to FadeTown. #TrumpsAmerica #Resist #3rdRailFade #Nah #PunchANazi2018
Footnote: If you ever talking shit, and see a Black dude come out his work clothes, the only thing that should be on your mind is escaping quickly as possible.
2nd Footnote: I want this same energy from the brothas when these racists outchea harassing the sistas.

The deal with the fridge is, if someone has written their name on an item, you keep it. Unlabeled items get thrown away. It’s not the worst task, but it’s not all that fun. So I decided to make it fun.

Oh look, there’s former @EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy hanging out at the Olympics in Rio and guess what? She flew there first class🔍✈️💸 #BootPruitt #memories
Gina McCarthy hooked her buddies up at Harvard with $45 million in grants, for an alleged independent study but it was in close contact with them the whole time but all we’re going to hear about is a $43k sound booth in a government office🙄 #ScottPruitt #Hypocrisy
