A lot of times, such scum bags LIE about being married, or he tells the new woman that he's seperated or in the process of getting a divorce. Smh.

LADIES....do not drink past ONE DRINK when out in public and DO NOT wonder off with strangers when out in public. It's NOT SAFE. @meme...yikes!

MySpace really made us publicly rank our friends from 1-8 😂

January 25, 1924 - The Douglas Hotel was an entertainment business and place to stay for Black Americans in the West was founded in San Diego, CA, on this date in 1924.

Lodging accommodations in San Diego during the early twentieth century were not available to Black people in White establishments. The social consciousness of this period is reflected in the name given the hotel.

The front facade was plastering over masonry of this a two-story, square, brick building; over the double front doors is a neon marquee that still reads "The Douglass." The Hotel opened in mid-winter of that year under ownership of Robert and Mabel Rowe and George Ramsey.

The owners reached into the annals of history and selected the name Frederick Douglass, the Rowe’s for years successfully operated Ideal Rooms, a large Victorian lodging house at the corner of Market and Second.

Around 1923, that structure was razed to make room for a two-story brick building. The Douglass Hotel had 45 sleeping rooms, a bar, a restaurant, and a 500-person-capacity ballroom. It was the ballroom, operated as a cabaret that made this establishment extraordinary.

The cabaret, known as the Creole Palace, was rather fashionable during its heyday. During the 1920s, jazz music had permeated the nation's entertainment circles. The Douglass Hotel provided Black San Diegans, in a city otherwise closed to them, a stylish nightspot to hear the popular music.

The Creole Palace had its own band and chorus line, and it regularly booked local entertainers and musicians. Although unable to secure bookings with big-name jazz musicians, the hotel's owners did host after-hour sessions at which these celebrities appeared.

The Douglass operated continuously as a hotel for more than 30 years. In 1956, Mabel Rowe Ramsey, by then the sole proprietor, sold the Business

Someone being attracted to me is regular. Someone seeing and understanding me is rare.

People pleaser

Black people
Are people pleaser
To white folks...
We've been trained
To place them
Instead of ourselves...

I hate to break it to
Us our black race
But it's the truth
And too many of us
Don't see it that way
It goes back to
Plantations
Where we please our massas
Cos
We were scared to get
Whooped..to get scars on our
Backs...fear severely placed upon
Our bones for generations it's why
We see black people to hush
Other black people for not talkin
Not postin not writin about what's goin on
Cos they're keepin themselves from
Consequences...
What's worse about it is that we black people
Apologize for speakin up, for tellin the truth...
We want their other races approval
Want them to love us
And John Henrik Clarke said we don't have friends...
We don't...
Too many don't listen
Too many was like we're one human race
And I say how can we be one human race
If white supremacy is rulin the Mother Earth...
It's like hey white man
I killed my own people
Are you happy?
Will you accept me now?
Hey white woman
Let me be your token?
I just wanna be in your white girl society...

We're sick
In the head
As black people
Over the world
And we don't understand
And we do understand
But still a lot of us
Disrespect our own blackness...

We're
People pleaser
To other races
Especially to white folks
Cos there will always be a part
That wants to belong in their world
Instead of ours...
That right there is the Stockholm Syndrome

Becomes our horrific narrative that can't be
Erased at all...it's our genes it's our saddest traditions
Especially when we forgive our enemies and sing we shall overcome...
To be honest our kindness and compassion towards the ones who keep
Murderin us is very traumatizin...

It's so heartbreakin when black people gave their open arms
To white supremacists who wanted to lynch them on trees...
Again this goes back to slavery...

So I don't wanna hear about Christianity...
I don't wanna hear about how Jesus forgives with a golden heart
When we don't forgive nor sorry to our own people.....
Another reason why I'm not a Christian cos

Slaveowners use this trick to control us.... use this to rape and beaten...
Not only that, Jesus ain't real.....
I wish black nation would know this and let that bull shit go
However we're conditioned....there are too many black churches everywhere
And many don't love us either....there's still a portrait of a white man in them...
Others have a black man....still

It's the same...
We're people pleaser
We do fight back
Don't get me wrong
But so many of us
Will let things slide and it's not a big deal....
Like we don't wanna defend ourselves
We don't want trouble
We just let other races walk over us
Cos

We don't have self respect for ourselves
And for each other....
We didn't learn that....
So we have to teach ourselves how
To stand up
To know the definition of our fuck around and find out....

We just can't let
Other race groups to talk shit to us
We just can't....
Why?
We need to stop being a people pleaser
And start pleasin ourselves....

White supremacy
Wants us to please them
Forever
Cos I believe that's how they survive
On this planet...to please minority....to please the
Smallest population upon the earth...the ones who have
A losin birth rates....

I bet y'all didn't know that...
