When I say Black Power, I know exactly what I’m talking about. But the white man runs up to me and says, “Black Power: that means violence, doesn’t it?” I refuse to react to that. I know what I’m talking about. If the white man doesn’t know what I’m talking about, that’s his problem, because black people understand me and that is who I’m talking to anyways.

Not only was this song fucking amazing, It was one of THE best music videos of ’00s. This nigga danced his way from the bed, through the garage, and to the club. And had a big ass dance number IN the club. Love the music video.

My father taught me to read. Some words I couldn’t pronounce. My dad was strong and with his deep voice he would help me with new words. He had “My Back”.
As a little girl I loved Mommy’s advice about dating men.. But it’s nothing like hearing the raw truth from my daddy who is a real man who understands men.. I have avoided many heartaches because my dad had “My Back”.

It takes a village.
So I was on the train today and these two black guys were having a conversation not even that loud and said “nigga” like once when this white lady turns around and says “How do you think MLK Jr. would feel about you using that kind of language” and one of the guys snaps back and said “Idk maybe if your people didn’t shoot him I would know”
Lets be real though if Kanye’s releases all sounded like College Dropout, you’d have folks complaining that he hasn’t evolved “don’t nobody wanna hear that backpack shit.”
yeah yeah whatever.
