Trust me. I've been on the streets and in the shelters and they aren't places you wanna be, especially if you're a woman. And moreso if you're a man. Men have DIED in shelters here because of fights over stupid shit like a cell phone cord. Or caught sepsis from the unsanitary conditions.

They got caught up in drugs and alcohol and are now strung out addicts roaming the streets of NY. Research to find what's in demand and the pay. You need to make AT LEAST $30/hr. And make sure you know someone here you can crash at if you run into hard times bc these landlords WILL throw you out

I only bring this up because the interview was about homeless people and crackheads on the street. He asked them where they were all from and they were all from somewhere else from around the country from FL to Philly to California. They came here looking for work and things fell through

Saw a video where someone said don’t move to NY. True. Don’t. It’s already crowded. If you do anyway, please know you MUST have an in-demand HIGHLY-trained skill AND a sponsor or you’ll end up going back home or a homeless crackhead. This city is unforgiving

And what makes it worse is the mixed kids are then abused by the white mom. I know a few people who are products of mixed relationships, and in all cases, their white mothers abused them. In one case their white mom tried to unalive her by putting her in boiling water, scalding her skin permanently

So many flags on the play here besides just the n word. I know all too well *these* kinds of white people. It irritates me to the core that Black men who choose to shuck up and procreate with these wenches can't see they see them as a fetish and not a person.

In 1857, Thomas Howland became Providence, RI's first Black elected official.

Later that year, he decided to emigrate to Liberia with his wife & daughter after the Dred Scott case denied Black people protections of U.S. citizenship. He was denied a passport.

Thomas Howland, 1856
John Blanchard

Portrait of a distringuished Black man from the 19th centrure wearing fine clothes, including high collar and tie of the day.
Museum Text:
Thomas Howland, the subject of this unusually expressive portrait, was a dock worker in Providence, Rhode lsland, In 1857 he became the city's first Black elected oficial when he was amed warden of its Third Ward. However, that same year he decided to emigrate to Liberia with his wite and daughter, perhaps in response to the recent Supreme Court decision in the Dred Scott case that denied African Americans the protections of U.S. citizenship. Because of this decision, Howland's application for a passport was denied, despite his status as a free man with the right to vote in his home state (he did eventually make it to Liberia). Howland's confident posture echoes that of the earlier Portrait of a Gentleman shown nearby, the fashionable attire of both sitters serving to reinforce thelir self-possession.

If "Antifa" is so violent, then why haven't we heard about "them" doing anything since 2016? And even then "they" weren't found. No one has heard that name in the news for a decade and then all of a sudden out of nowhere we're doing a respin of 2016's scapegoats

“This is not the first time Trump has tried to have a Black man unjustly arrested. I’m not going anywhere” Johnson said

I've heard Mayor Johnson speak and he's swift, eloquent and witty. He's a professional wordsmith. Trump best keep his name out his mouth or he's gonna get dragged and humiliated

This Nazi Germany-looking wannabe wants a riot so damn bad that he's imagining things. Stats in embellishing increased by 200%. I wouldn't doubt he'd probably put in undercover plants just to make it happen

She could just walk out the back but she has put her back to me and gone to sleep lol. Well at least I know I won't have a hard time getting her in the carrier next week. She's scheduled to go back to the vet to get spayed and microchipped ✂️✂️

Cops are never on the right side of history. They have to do what they're told, and somehow people think they can "change things" from the inside. They are peons, they can't. And the NYPD is ran by their Union and is just a gang out for themselves

Mayor Johnson is referring to the Central Park 5. I am old enough to remember that shit-show. Trump has always been known as a racist, bigot and a fraudster in NY.

NY knew him as the local crook, so he lost here, but the rest of the country thought they knew better. Now everyone's FAFO

The Central Park 5 are suing Trump over Philly debate comments

The five were exonerated of charges related to the brutal assault of a New York jogger in 1989. In the September debate, Trump said they pled guilty, which they did not. They are now suing him.

My cat licked my face today. Didn’t think cats did that. I got a cat because I didn’t want a dog, but ended up with a dog-cat. Thanks for the rug burn

The funny thing is, I only thought about "Ben" because I was wondering why I hadn't seen him in anymore movies since Short Circuit. So it was a shock to my system when I read this article and found out "Ben" doesn't exist and is a modern-day minstrel show character.

Fisher Stevens regrets his controversial 'Short Circuit' role: 'It definitely haunts me'

The actor looks back at his controversial "brownface" character in the 1986 comedy, which recently celebrated its 35th anniversary.

I was today old when I learned Ben who played the "Indian" robotics engineer in Short Circuit wasn't Indian. He was a white man in brownface played by Fisher Stevens and was banned from India for 20 years for the racist role. Childhood shattered #FAFO…
