racism isn’t just annoying it is literally traumatizing and a lot of brown and black folk have ptsd from the racism we have experienced. i feel like this isnt taken into account in any racism discussions had by white people and it’s honestly upsetting.

Fake deeps stay on my dash. Annoying af.I see a few posts on my dash bashing Jay-Z’s streaming music service and not one of them made a sound argument that can’t be taken apart in seconds.
If you don’t want to pay $10 or $20 a month for music, just say that. It’s a perfectly reasonable opinion to have. I’m sure in the hell not paying for it.
But when you start all that “the rich get richer”, “why do artists need more money from us” bullshit you look wild stupid.
Since when is it rational to get angry at artists who get together and decide to sell their art for however much they see fit? How is that evil?
If you don’t want to buy it then don’t buy it. Let the market decide.
Meanwhile niggas will fall all over themselves to drop $700 on a new iPhone that does the exact same shit the old one did. Apple has more money in their cash reserves than the government and I don’t see anyone talking about “Tim Cook wanting to line his pockets” when the new Macbook drops but y’all saying that about Jay-Z right now
Everyone want to turn into Assata Shakur and rage against capitalism when Jay-Z starts a streaming service but Spotify, Rhapsody, Google, Rdio, and Beats Music been doing it for years and nobody had a problem with it.
“I don’t want to pay for that” will suffice. You don’t have to get fake deep.
I see zero lies here.

Are you hydrated? If not, have a glass of water.
Have you eaten in the past three hours? If not, get some food — something with protein, not just simple carbs. Perhaps some nuts or hummus?
Have you showered in the past day? If not, take a shower right now.
If daytime: are you dressed? If not,…
