Nope, Mr. Random White man.

Blocked.
Random white dude in army fatigues [probably stolen photos] talking about "The battle, sir, is not to the strong alone; it is to the vigilant, the active, the brave. . ." Obviously a sex pest or romance scammer because he's following hundreds of women. We have zero mutuals and nothing in common so there's no logical reason for him to follow me.

I think about this quote often. It was true when Malcolm said it in the 60s, it's true today.
“The white liberal differs from the white conservative only in one way : the liberal is more deceitful than the conservative. The liberal is more hypocritical than the conservative. Both want power, but the white liberal is the one who has perfected the art of posing as the Negro’s friend and benefactor; And by winning the friendship, allegiance, and support of the Negro, the white liberal is able to use the Negro as a pawn or tool in this political”football game” that is constantly raging between the white liberals and white conservatives.” Malcolm X

I'm looking at Allison's bun. Back in the day we would use the lid from a jar (like mayo) to create the perfect bun. LOL. And we would have little whisps of hair hanging down just like that.

@masterofgum.bsky.social this is all your fault! I was trying to catch up on my little soap opera and this popped up.
