  1. History does not disclose the name of the first black person dragged onto a slave ship, the first black person held in newly constructed prisons, or the first black person forcibly recruited to work on a colonial plantation. But black people have been arriving late ever since, hoping that the slavers have left, the ships traveled beyond the horizon, the whip silenced, the work done, the suffering gone.
    Black time—whether you call it colored people time (CPT) or African timing (AT) or the deliciousness of syncopation—black time is about delay, interruption, break: strategic lateness.
    Black time is long time, deep time, waiting time, excavated time, time around time. The not-here, the not-yet-there, the it-will-be-coming, the it-has-been-to-come, the it’s-not-wasn’t-yet, the it-was-just-here-yet-to-be-now. The fold, the crease, the wrinkle, the tick that does not tock. The tock that does not talk. The silence that does not break. The breaking that will not be broken. The.
    You-just-missed-it.
    Black time is hungry time. Ravenous time. Gluttonous time. Cannibal time.
    Black time is waiting time, time after the reservation, time after other people’s time, time cut by other people’s time, time as didn’t-see-you, time as can-you-wait, time as you-again, time as I-don’t-have-time-for-this-shit.
    Black time is dropped consonants, slipped sounds, skipped beats, don’t-wanna-ain’t-gonna-coz-it-don’t-make-no-difference time. Black time is learned time, doing time, time done, time-to-do, time-never-done, time-undone. Time-served, time-to-serve, time-serving, time-unserved, time-put-off, time-for-time, pipeline-time, skipping-time, cut-time, time-cut, cutting-time.
    I haven’t seen you for a minute.
    Sorry I’m posting this late. I was running behind.

  5. One out of 10 American Indians or Native Americans has been a victim of violence. That rate is twice as high as the rate for blacks, two and a half times higher than whites, and four and a half times higher than Asians. And American Indians are more likely than people of other races to experience violence at the hands of someone of a different race, with 70% of reported violent attacks perpetrated by non-Indians.

    I prefer him darker.

    probably photoshop if not shoot that motherfucker…..oh and stop calling your wretched self Jamaican as u ain’t……#noblackpride

    bleacher boy smfh

    Yea you shitty for changing your whole skin color to be accepted

    It’s never that serious.

    sometimes niggas is hurt and tired

    you couldn’t imagine how serious it is yo

    I wouldn’t bleach my skin, but I know where homey is comin from

    I considered it when I was younger

    life is ruthless if you aren’t light skin

    man, I’m not gonna pretend like I didn’t notice that lighter skinned people got preferential treatment over darker skinned people…

    at the end of the day, it’s his life, if he’s happier this way then good for him

    I’m saying, even if you don’t agree with his actions you can’t pretend like colorism isn’t super real out here

    He looked better before.

    Colorism is a major issue among jamaican people. To be a “brownin” is a great compliment apparently. Skin cancer is a rising medical issue there because of all the bleaching that’s happening. There are niggas out there thinking if his wife ups here bleaching process when they have a baby it’ll come out “nice and brown”. It’s really sad and not something people should make fun of. Unless we’re talking about vybz cartel…

    wow some of these posters above this ^^ response are some of the most unsympathetic assholes man. colorism is real just as ashr says. he looked better darker? that’s not the fucking point. clearly enough people didn’t think so for him to feel he needed to lighten himself so much. and he is NOTICING A DIFFERENCE.

    we gon deny that? shit, if i can know when i lose weight more men and people treat me better why can’t this person truthfully recognize that he is being treated qualitatively BETTER BECAUSE HE IS NOW LIGHTER.

    like it’s sad he did that and yea, he gotta deal with the internalized shit. but he even acknowledged why he did it and it’s actually paying off. to be honest that says more about other people than it does about him. truly. these reactions are similar. like wtf? really? 

    so much of it here.. cause of all the messages we dark skin folks get.. ( you are a  monster and will always be ugly )  sigh

    I like how I’m supposed to have sympathy for someone that lightened their skin for vanity and is proud of it. I’m obviously the person in the wrong for his shit but okay. Standing by what the fuck I said, he does look better in the skin tone that God gave him.

    I dont think he is happy about it. I think he went to that extreme to feel something because his god given skin was seen as ugly. Coming from a west indian family it really is a BIG issue. I won’t say I have sympathy for him.. but i most certainly understand the pressures he must have felt in his darker skin. I just wish he could have embraced himself instead of changed himself.. I hope he find happiness elsewhere though.

    I would be an idiot to not understand his experiences but I never said anything about him being right or wrong, I simply said he looked better the way he was born. Still don’t see how I was wrong.
