Nah, this dude belongs in WWE. that was a generational smackdown 😭🤣

Nobody is conveniently leaving anyone out. You're free to argue that African kingdoms and merchants who profited from slavery should also be held accountable. But why does discovering an African perpetrator suddenly become grounds for dismissing reparations altogether? What is the actual logical connection? If you believe your local royalties were also culpable, then call them out. I will support you; everyone should face reckoning for their role in it. You can't conveniently remember your Oba only when it is time to shut down others who are speaking up.

2 Chainz got into a DEBATE with Keith Lee after bringing up the BAD REVIEW Keith gave his restaurant, with Keith arguing that his reviews should reflect how REGULAR CUSTOMERS are treated, while 2 Chainz insisted celebrities EARN special treatment 😳👀 2 Chainz also questioned whether Keith’s strict diet as a former athlete affects his TASTE in food and how he judges restaurants. “I’m an entertainer, and obviously we get perks that other people don’t get. That’s just period, my boy. I don’t stand in line at the airport. I don’t do none of that because I done worked my ass off to do this.”

Katherine was booked for a prince, a police chief and the entire Argentina soccer team. In the '80s she made $500,000 a year working for the madam Heidi Fleiss took her clients from. Then the FBI caught her with 6 kilos of c*caine and $79,000 cash. And she was relieved. She is 73 now. She grew up 10 minutes from Beverly Hills. Her dad worked for the Max Factor family, and she was in modeling school. Then her family fell apart and she ended up working for "Alex", a Hungarian madam in Bel Air. According to Katherine, Alex's black book is where Heidi Fleiss got her numbers. The entry ticket was brutal: to get hired, you had to "audition" with the madam's boyfriend. The clients were another planet. Alex booked the entire Argentina soccer team, and the girls were expected to stay all day while the young players went one after another. Katherine did three, said she was done and walked out. She got fired, until a client requested her and she was called back. A prince ordered one black girl, one Asian girl and one white girl. Nobody walked out of there with less than $2,000. She was flown to New York for three days for a man who wanted a girl who looked exactly like her. She was flown to Detroit for a client who turned out to be the chief of police. She counted it once: a little more than half a million dollars a year. In the 1980s. She walked Rodeo Drive with $20,000 to $50,000 in her bag and drove a Rolls-Royce and a gold Cadillac. At the same time she was moving dr*gs with people "pretty big in the drug world". Her boyfriend, a pimp, broke her ribs, and her face needed surgery. One client put a knife to her throat on Laurel Canyon. She survived, took a cab home, changed and went back to work the same night. On September 7, 1989 it all ended. The FBI arrested her with six kilos of c*caine and $79,000. She says she was beaten and held with no bail. Her lawyer was the son of a mafia family. She was looking at 20 years. She says the arrest felt like "a relief". She was 36, and she was done. Today she is a chaplain on Skid Row, pulling women out of the same life.

Spoke to Imoteda at Moonshot. During and after our conversation, I watched people I look up to come over to say hello [pay their respects\kiss her ring]. It suddenly dawned on me that perhaps the most powerful woman in Nigeria’s tech ecosystem right now is a chef.

One church member offered to donate ₦500,000 to buy 10 standing fans for our church. Early last month, he noticed that people were uncomfortable during church services because everyone kept fanning themselves with handkerchiefs. So, he went to our WhatsApp group and announced that he would send ₦500,000 to the church account to buy 10 standing fans. Everyone was happy and started praying that God would bless him. Our pastor replied, "Our church has outgrown fans. God said you are capable of providing air conditioners." For the past three weeks, the group has remained silent. Yesterday evening, our pastor posted, "We don't serve a poor God. Give, and you shall receive." Just this morning, the man left the group.

Slavery was an evil in which people from every continent and region participated. We should be honest about the whole history, not select the parts that are politically convenient today, especially given Britain's leading role in ending the transatlantic slave trade. If Caribbean countries are asking Britain for a formal apology for Britain’s role in the transatlantic slave trade, will they also be asking the same of the descendants of African kingdoms, rulers and merchants who captured, sold and profited from the trade? On demands for reparations, whether through cash or debt relief, we have been down this track before. Twenty-five years ago, Jubilee 2000, Drop the Debt and Make Poverty History argued that cancelling the debts of poorer countries would give them a fresh start. More than $100 billion of debt was eventually written off, but many of those countries have since built up even bigger debts. Labour are already spending too much on Britain's welfare state, now is not the time for Andy Burnham to be providing global welfare. There is no reason British taxpayers today should be held financially responsible for things that happened generations before any of us were born. And I have even less patience for political elites in commonwealth countries who don’t know how to make their own citizens prosperous now looking for another opportunity to blame Britain. As Prime Minister, Andy Burnham should be Britain’s greatest defender. Instead, he is writing articles saying we need to confront our history (as if we haven't done enough of that) and considering another formal historical apology. Tony Blair already expressed Britain’s deep sorrow and regret for our role in the slave trade nearly twenty years ago. There is no need to do so again. This is all another navel-gazing distraction. The Commonwealth should be looking forward, not endlessly backwards. That means economic partnerships to make us all richer and deeper military and security cooperation against common threats. If every Commonwealth summit becomes an exercise in presenting Britain with demands for cash then we need to start asking if it is worth the effort.

She deserves mom of the year award!!!!🥹
