So sick of seeing this Lauryn Hill slander on the time line just because she shows up what you simpletons refer to as “late” for her concerts.
We have become so entitled.
Lauryn goes out of her way to bring her magnificent tunes to you and even allows you a few extra hours to prepare your ears for sonic brilliance but you’re mad? #AntHill 🐜 🐜🐜
If you’re worried about your precious time think about how much MORE valuable Lauryn’s time is! She is the one you’re waiting on after all.
How about you take some time to align YOUR chakras! That’s what most of y’all need anyways.
You know what I do when I get to the Lauryn Hill concert on time? I work on myself.
Read a book! Binge a documentary series. Last concert I watched the entire Ken Burns Civil War documentary series before she arrive. #AntHill
Meditate. You have this perfect chance to take a few hours out of your day and spend them training your mind. But you’re too mad that Ms. Hill is technically “late.” Caught up in semantics. 🐜🐜🐜 #AntHill
Ms. Hill is giv NC you the gift of your time back to you. While I was waiting at the concert you know what I did? I actually met and talked to fellow fans. We don’t get to do that enough because we are always online! Thank you Lauryn! 🐜🐜🐜 #AntHill
Most of the fans at the concert wanted to talk about why Ms. Hill was late but after I talked to a few dozen we actually found ourselves getting to know each other. I learned so much. 💖 #AntHill
Don’t let the judgement of other people who weren’t in attendance at the concert ruin your perception of the event. A lot of these people mocking us for buying tickets are sitting at home living vicariously through us! #AntHill
It’s honestly to the point where I don’t go to concerts that start on time. I can get that anywhere. But with Lauryn? You’re playing for the entire Lauryn Hill experience. Unlike any other. It’s spontaneous! #AntHill
How about you take your child to the concert with you and spend the extra time helping them with their homework rather than complain that Lauryn is “late.”
Promptness is a white supremacist concept beloved. #AntHill
Did y’all know the concept of black people being “late” to our own concerts wasn’t invented until after chattel slavery? Tardiness is a white supremacist concept designed to control the black body. Look it up and thank Lauryn Hill for freeing us! A revolutionary! #AntHill
It’s not lost on me that #yall demand Lauryn Hill be on time but also get upset when she shows up with unaligned chakras. Y’all ain’t shit. #AntHill
And let’s get to the real truth of what all of this stems from. That’s right I’m about to spill it.
Gel👏🏾Luss👏🏾SEE👏🏾
So because you have bought into the white supremacist patriarchal concept of “lateness” you judge Ms. Hill for free thought?! #AntHill
I wish more of y’all did self care and alignment of chakras before showing up to your jobs with a funky attitude and making mistakes.
Let Lauryn be our example loved ones!
Call out of work one day this month and align your chakras! Be brave! #AntHill
I’m just sick of people making black folks the scape goats for not showing up at the pre agreed upon time for professional events!
Meanwhile we all living on CP time but Lauryn a black woman can’t be “late?”
How many women with UNANSWERED text messages where also hypocritically tweeting about Lauryn Hill being “late?”
People get on here and treat black women with unaligned chakras like shit daily! But I’m supposed to believe y’all would support Ms. hill? #AntHill
Bring books to the Lauryn Hill concert. Hand them out to other fans as you wait for her to show up. Start a book club!
So many responses from people who have bought into the Chronology Entertainment Industrial Complex. It makes me sad. #AntHill
You’re dealing with a human being when you’re dealing with Ms. Lauryn Hill! If you want the reliability of an inanimate object stream the album from you phone! She isn’t a jukebox! #AntHill 🐜🐜🐜

Oh one more thing. This is why people need to stop playing around with these right wing trolls on Twitter. They really will get you fired even if they seem harmless.
They have no principles. And they will say / do anything to "win" and argument. I had a good friend get doxed and harassed off of here because of a joke they made a few years ago.
That whole segment of twitter plays ROUGH.
Many of them have lost reputable jobs and then monetized their trolling to make them untouchable. If you're not ready to lose everything to make a point to those dudes who AREN'T going to be changed by your arguments? Then go ahead.
1907. That's when it was determine the traitorous insurrection and secession from the US was to be officially coined the "Civil War."
1907.
Like... people really didn't know this?
Like pick up a book and stop thinking being snarky in 140 characters is the same as being smart. I get that it's more fun to take context out of a point and laugh with your buddies but damn...
This information is readily available. Our schools really failed us.
Actually the schools didn't fail us. This is what the American education was designed to do. Make you believe that these changing concepts were immutable and written in confederate stone.
We have been taught a loaded version of history steeped in white supremacy.
Man I was talking to these two brothers at the court today. It disgusts me how easily dudes bash black women in casual conversation. I know they thought I was a dick for calling them out on it but I'll just have to be that today.
It started off with me talking about how I was gonna leave the court early to go have lunch with my wife. They made a joke about me leaving. And I made a joke about not wanting to spend my lunch with a bunch of stinking sweaty dudes at the Y. Typical joking.
They are younger than me. I told one of them he should try it some time. He said he didn't have the money. I was like go somewhere cheap. It's just lunch. You know little back and forth.
Then one dude talks about a white woman would pay for the food.
Black people being inclusive of bi-racial people by treating them as black isn’t the same as “erasing” their whiteness.
Oh have to have systemic power to “erase” whiteness. Like how Kaepernick is considered a nigger by white folks now but he was “biracial” till he took a knee.
Now a dummy (ie: the people in my mentions) might think “Wow black people erase Kaepernick’s blackness by supporting him.”
But that’s because dummies are stupid. And I am smart and I recognize that black people don’t “erase” whiteness in our society. We can’t.
