Texas Southern’s Ocean of Soul rendition of Kirko Bangz’ “Drank In My Cup” might be the best thing you hear all day:

Against broad bipartisan appeal, the OKC Council voted to renew their contract with Flock today. Shame on everyone who voted to pass it: Mayor David Holt and Council Persons Carter, Avers, Stone, and Hinkle. Stonecipher conveniently absent from today’s meeting. #okcgov

Only 3 guys are in the 20k-7k-7k Club for career points/rebounds/assists: LeBron, Oscar and Russ.
If you drop it to 20k-6k-6k it’s those 3 plus CP3, Harden, Havlicek, Drexler and Kobe.
But….
LeBron is at 43k-12k-12k.
So technically, he’s in the 20k-6k-6k Club twice.
So this all began with a white supremacist who actively promotes eugenics and the UK media just ran with it??
Racism kills.

The death of Jason Arday hit so close to home that I had no words yesterday. But I woke up with words.
To be a prominent antiracist Black scholar is to know you are a target, almost totally surrounded by resentments. You know that at any point, the attacks can come like a lynch mob.
And if you die from all the attacks, the media still calls the attacks on you “accusations” to wash their hands of the blood. Your lynchers announce your death as if they had no role in your lynching.
My latest at The Emancipator.

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
To lynch means when an angry crowd or mob kills a person without a legal trial or lawful justice, usually by hanging them from a rope.
The tragic death of Jason Arday has been reported as a suicide following his resignation over allegations of plagiarism & data fraud.

a 20/20/20 game intentionally in honor of Nipsey Hussle is probably one of the greatest feats in sports history. basically Babe Ruth pointing his bat to the stands, but for Crips.

Sometimes you don’t even know when you’ve already watched the end.
You had to be there. And now it’s over.

What kills me about the conversation around KC & Aniya is that it’s SO darksided. Meanwhile the white islanders are making their beef fun and cute.
There is a carceral mentality when it comes to black people and sometimes it be our own people leading the charge. #loveislandusa
i’m afraid #loveislandusa discourse is bad for the community 😂
go connect with some people in real life. whatever team you’re on does not make you a colorist or misogynist everybody relax
