​​​​This controversial piece is kind of like my Twitter Tweets of The Week. Once in a while I cruise around Twitter and talk about many random things trending but this time it will be with post from Instagram. Sometimes there is audio so please don't forget to click on the links in purple to listen in. I will always and forever dedicate this controversy towards the black liberation for melanated people and agendas of freedom in all of our nations! Remember that sometimes you will be offended by some of these Instagram posts. It might help you think about your views on things or change your perspective. The title does say this is about controversy. I hope you feel some kind of way. You're supposed to! This edition of controversy is all about the variety of life.

Where are the masculine men? Are they gone? Do they even exist anymore? I believe that I can honestly say, I know a few masculine men. They are strong protective and courageous. They have self-control. Can a masculine man be soft? According to Dr. Umar Johnson, we don't have masculine men in order the way we should. Are you partners with a masculine man? Do you agree with this particular post? What is masculinity to you? What does it look like? What should it look like? Are men taught how to be a masculine man? Are you raising your boys and sons to be masculine man? Will they be prepared to be the head of a household if they want a family? This is very interesting. When I first saw an inch of this post, I almost ignored it. Usually when I see the word masculine, it is often associated with how women have too much of it. 

Godfrey is a masculine King-Papa weighing in on Candace Owens controversial opinions about the killing of Sonya Massey. He did not hold back his expressive feelings on the matter. Melanated people don't have to always agree. Just like any other group of people, we think differently from each other and that's ok. A lot of melanated folks thought the views of Candace Owens on the subject of Sonya Massey was not well received. Comedian Godfrey was definitely one of those individuals. 

This vegan man is giving us substitutions for chicken and people are going crazy over it. If you care to try it, go ahead. If you prefer to eat meat, go right ahead. This is about an alternative if you want it. Geez. He is not slandering you for eating meat. He is giving those who are interested in an alternative to eating that meat we call chicken. If you're not interested he is not talking to you.  

Listen to this man's perspective on the Sonya Massey murder. You have to hear this. I bet you never connected these dots together.

Should you take a chance on building property in a country you don't live in? Well, people who don't live in America have property in America, but they live in a different country. Kudos and personal smooches to the black girl that rocks in New York who is on her grind building a wellness rental in Costa Rica. May the spirit of courage and dual citizenship be upon us all to build rental properties all over the country. You can do it. Especially the men and women living in America. Why don't you get together with other like-minded folks or your partners/spouse and build property. Go head Gina! 

How do you feel about this? There is nothing shocking about it to me. This level of hypocrisy has been fully threaded into the American justice system no matter who the president is or has been. Why is it that if a black woman would have killed her white neighbor, it would not be manslaughter. It would be 1st degree murder. They probably would add on more charges due to the fact of the black woman killing the white women Infront of those precious white children. All the persecutors and judges know this. When will it change? Everyone is all in tune with that song called "country first " but if we are serious about putting Americans (our country) first, we have to use fairness on purpose in this American criminal justice system. Those judges and prosecutors are softer on them and harsher on us. None of the red or blue people have changed this. NONE!

I happen to know and be connected to members of the so-called Divine Nine, but I honestly did not know about the terminology until this post came to pass. A lot of comments were extremely against these sororities and fraternities stating they only come out for one of their own. Lord have mercy. All I know is, if they can raise all of that money in hours on a zoom call, we can cure our community from all this violence, jobs for our youth, homelessness and a host of other paramount stains we are faced with. 

Check out this Instagram post. This young European boy is giving us ingredients on white boy privilege. 

Ouch! Yep, please be sure to taste your words before you spit them out because we can't take those words back once it is released into the universe. Especially those folks who tell lies on you. No worries. The truth will always come out and everyone will know who the liar really was. It was them, not you! 

It is time to dance it out. These Asian sistahs from Japan are getting all the way down. I can so groove with them. Love it! Sometimes you have to just leave your worries behind and dance it off you. Get into the groove line, like these ladies.

It is time for you to get with the program. There are new buzz words for you to use and of course, overuse and abuse on social media. Come on! What are you guys waiting for? Dive right in. When you grace your presence on any of these social media platforms make sure you are abreast on the hottest new phrases. You will definitely get the right attention and likes if you know how to massage the minds of those individuals who understand what you publicly stated. No worries because what you said and the things that you are doing will cause a chain reaction of unknown and those you know to protect you at all costs. 


PROTECT HIM OR HER AT ALL COST

When you hear this 2024 award winning popular phrase, "Protect Him or Her at All Cost," somebody has done something super important plus amazing. These individuals could probably have invented something, and their invention could be a threat to those who do not want that person's contributions to help society. If the information is publicly shared on social media, the masses of people will be commenting for all people to protect the person who invented his new invention at all costs. So, folks send out special prayers, love, light, and hope to release protection to that individual into the universe. We even sprinkle comedy in it as well. For example, if a republican speaks his truth in alliance with the democratic party and a lot of people agree with what was articulated, that phrase is going up in the air, like it just doesn't care. People will comment and say, "Protect Him at All Costs."

​​​​​​​​Years ago, when I first witnessed people on social media posting the words "Mood" on their social media platforms, I often wondered why they posted that, or what it meant? Now I totally get it.

Clear your energy and sleep peaceful at night. If you have nightly distractions interrupting your peace and sleep, try listening to this. I pray you sleep in sweet peace each and every night (Just Like They Do). I understand that you want the same in return. I totally get it! 🙏🏿

Always snap back. 

It is time to exploit all the irkahliciousness running rampant in the land. There are some irritants that trouble people and there are dangerous incidents of major irkahliciousness that kiss us on the wrong cheek, so we wipe our face off when we encounter it. Your affection can be rather distracting! I would like to introduce you to a few more irks I’ve noticed this year.

People Who Ask Me Context Clue Questions (Please Stop)

I just sent a text with a great positive message to you. I even add smiley faces + hearts, stars, roses, kisses. Then I get the reply. 'Hey how are you. I hope all is well. How are you doing." (Blank stare)

People Who Think They Own The Theater (You Do Not)

​Look at those seats! Do you see your name on the seats? Are these public seats owned by you? No, it's not. You pay for an assigned seat just like everyone else. A lot of people get their tickets in advance online. When they do, some folks like to ensure there is a space between them. It doesn't always work out the way they hoped it would. Do you know why? Well, because someone could easily go inside to purchase and select the seat that you thought was an open space. It is a public movie theater so stop acting like it's your home theater when you come to sit down, and the space is taken. Stay at home if you do not want other people sitting next to you. You got a lot of irkahliciousness nerves. 

I have observed on a few occasions how folks who picked their movie theater seats but attempted to leave an open space (seat) between them hoping no one would sit there. One time an older couple came, and they were shocked to see that the open seat they had between the seats they selected was occupied by another person. So, they moved to different seats (not theirs) and made sure there was an empty space between them. Then another couple came, they were a little younger than the first couple. They went to their paid seats and the older couple was in their seats because remember, they didn't want to sit in the seats they paid for. It was too close to other people. So, the younger couple were like these are our seats. The older couple ignored them and didn't move. The man was like let's just sit here (in the older couple's seats) but the woman was mad. You already know if "we" paid for our seats we selected, and you are in "our" seats you're going to move, period. "They ​not like us." You know who they were. If you feel that uncomfortable with the possibility of someone sitting next to you, stay at home.  

Parents/Guardians That Talk Inappropriately to Their Children in Public 

I know you're the father and mother of the children the creator allowed for you to be a vessel, to bring your children into this world. I also understand that you are the parents of your kids. Do you understand how degrading, belittling and awful you sound when you say things like, "I told your stupid ass to get out of the car."  Why are you saying that in public to your 5-year-old or any of your children? We call that verbal abuse. I have heard even worse foul language used by parents towards their kids. I was euphemistically giving you an example of what I've publicly observed too many times. Please keep your irkahliciousness in check.

I know kids can work your nerves depending on the situation, but no one wants to hear you verbally abusing them in public. Think about their self-esteem. If you wonder, why your child is always bullying other kids. Look in the mirror. Even if your parents did you the same way doesn't mean you have to keep that kind of tradition. Break that cycle and make up your own ones. Invest in deep breathing techniques and seek counseling. If you have to be firm with your kids, do it in the car or at home. Most importantly, watch the words that come out of your mouth.

​​​​​​​​Years ago, when I first witnessed people on social media posting the words "Mood" on their social media platforms, I often wondered why they posted that, or what it meant? Now I totally get it.

Yep, I kissed a girl, and I liked it too Katy Perry. She was more like a woman and not just a girl. I really miss her. Sometimes I kind of want to kiss her again but I can't. We always hugged and kissed, and I am so thankful for all of her hugs and kisses. Especially her love. I can truly say that she really loved me and was my biggest cheerleader. She understood me like no one else in this world.

Assume what you want. I kissed a girl, a female, a woman and I liked it. This is my proud mood for today. 

​​​​​​​Years ago, when I first witnessed people on social media posting the words "Mood" on their social media platforms, I often wondered why they posted that, or what it meant? Now I totally get it.

Yep, that's all. Nothing but understanding. I heard this song on the radio today and I just had to share it.

Yall not going to believe this! Let me just say that I am an Asian-American girl and I emphasize American. I do not eat any Chinese food. So please miss me with that. I love soul food and Mexican dishes. I am completely Americanized with pride. My parents speak in their native tongue (Japanese) but even they are Americanized as well. My grandparents were immigrants. They do not speak a lot of English. We speak to them in our native tongue. I live in a very upscale neighborhood. My two best friends are black and Mexican. We all attend the same high school. All of our parents are either doctors, lawyers or they work for the government. Dillard's father is a veterinarian. His mom is a doctor at some hospital. He claims that he doesn't know what she does as far as her career. He has always said that since we were in elementary school. Dillard lives in our court. My girls Nika and Maria also live by me. Dillard likes me but I am so not attracted to him. I see him as my brotha. It's not because he is white. He is not my type. There are about 20 different families that reside in our court, and we all love animals. Tannika's mom is also a veterinarian. They have two dogs, one bird, a black cat, and a turtle. Dillard has a cat as well. I don't have any cats. I believe Maria doesn't either. 

Dillard told us his cat needed a kidney transplant. Sadly, he was telling us for a few weeks about his family cat. We were all empathetic. We understand that our pets are like family. He had the nerve to ask Tannika if she would mind asking her parents if their cat could be a kidney donor for his cat. WTF...right! Nika was like no! Actually, she said Hell no! Dillard said his cat will die soon if he doesn't receive a kidney. To be honest I only thought human beings did the transplant organ donor thing. He told Tannika that his mom told him her cat would probably be a great donor for their cat because she has a black cat. Then he started to laugh obnoxiously. We didn't think it was funny. Maria thought race was a factor, and it was.

Like, Dillard is so weird. Dillard is our #1 homeboy, but he is not from this world, sometimes. We asked Dillard what was so funny. Then get this, all of a sudden, he remembered that his mom worked with a donor organization at the hospital. Dillard said his mom told him when a melanated person dies or people with more melanin, and they are registered donors on their driver's license, it's like brand new wealth for those who are waiting for a kidney or liver transplant. He said it's like the golden Willy Wonka ticket. Most of the people that are waiting for donors at the hospital where Dillard's mom works are not black, Asian or Mexican. They are European. That's what Dillard said. He also said his mom gets great organs from dead melanated people to help out those in need of organs at her hospital. We were like ok so what. Dillard pleaded with us to think twice about putting the words "organ donor" on our driver's license next year when we all take driver's ed. Dillard said there were things that he knows his mom is involved in, but she doesn't tell him. Maria didn't believe him then something happened.

Two days after Dillard shared that information about his mom with us, three of the families in our court that had cats were gone. They all went missing. Get this tho, Dillard came to school very happy. The rumor in our high school was that Dillard and his brother stole those cats trying to find a match for their cat. Yall, Dillard told us his cat was better. This is a very uncomfortable situation. We are all very uncomfortable now.

Do you think Dillard and his brother stole those cats in the neighborhood to save their own cat's organs?
