“When I started my musical career, I was a maid,” she told the audience. “I used to clean houses. My parents, my mother was a proud janitor. My stepfather, who raised me like his very own, worked at the post office and my father was a trash man — they all wore uniforms. And that’s why I stand here today in my black and white and I wear my uniform to honor them.”
Yall better not be pretending that Janelle Monae doesn’t fucking exist

just overheard these two black dudes on a bus
one was surprisingly defending black women.
specifically Venus Williams and Eve.
because the other dude was all “ these famous black women just RUN to white men” and the other dude cut him off, pointed out his white girlfriend ( who was on the bus!! lol) and said :
“ black men been running to anything NOT black since forever, and suddenly you’re mad black women are doing the same?even mathematically it fucking makes sense! besides, the only reason you mad is because when black women marry white dudes, they inherit some shit they marry up, but when you and yours get with white girls all you getting is them same apartments in Bushwick you woulda been getting anyway if they weren’t gentrifying-”
i was so sad when i had to get off the bus. dudes silence was wow
THE TEA!!!
