just like people in my family, in my community, in my social circle, in my creative circle who ask me / push me to do better when I fuck up, or act out of pocket, or produce half-assed work. I'm telling you to do better
just like we ask businesses, and organizations, and politicians to do better when we organize, protest, sign petitions, or vote. I'm asking you to do better, because I can.
do you have to? hell naw
it's literally an intellectual and creative tension that propels us as people on earth "forward"
>If you saying you doing better than me I'd like to know how?
>What Metric you using? Because you are a teacher? Because you
>out in these streets for the cause? Because you have raised
>kids? You've got more life experiences? What is it?

you literally just answered your own question.
'cept I don't have kids, but what's weird is that i have 5 sisters with 14 nieces and nephews, and my youngest sister, when her aint shit sperm donor tapped out years ago, i was their father for 3 years since she lived with me and got her education, so did I have kids, at some point? you can answer this better than me...
and I guess you have more experience then me since you a whole decade older
but since you say elder wisdom shit like "isn't it funny how conscious rappers grew up to be dumb and the rappers like Diddy and 50 are actually doing something" I'm sure your metric is economic stability and wealth, which well champ, I can tell you myself, you got me beat

how is this the obvious, when she's getting co-signs from ppl like you who weren't even stating that she ignorantly placed the blame on victims
I do think people made the good

dress codes inherently "harm" self-expression, but kids are so dope even with uniforms they find ways to individualize the monoculture of it...
And despite

ohh now the argument is about the harm the dress code does to the young girl and not that harm will come whenever a violent person enacts violence over the female body.
ohh if it's about the lower hem doing harm to a body and mind, of course your right. how can clothes do harm?

i'm not on twitter. didn't follow the back and forth outside a few screen shots. which showed me some folk made good points and others didn't, in terms of the attack on her comment
Kirsten West Savali's Root article I rock with, Erykah can stay mad all she wants

lol, I love my feelings homeboy. feelings don't dilute intellectual arguments to me or for those I rock with. that's that western colonizer paradigm of the logical man does not get emotional, emotions are for women bullshit. all that other hurt alert caca you trying to code is laughable.

well I'm glad my parents. my mentors, my partners, and other told me to do better. all my life. but you're a stranger right? so don't do better. just be buddy_g, ok. i'll never be mean to you again.

i didn't come at Damali, you non reading clown. I came at Vee-Lover. I co-signed her rhetorical question with my mansplaining to Vee-Lover.
