Happy New Year, Sweet Potatoes!! *waving frantically* We don enter New Year again oh. I thank the Lord for keeping us all. And I thank every one of you for coming along with me on this journey.

It was a video about a young, Black college footballer named Joe Mixon, and the video showed a White girl hitting him and him hitting her back. His hit was harder and more disruptive. She hit her head on the table, fell down, and seemed to be dizzy when she tried to get back up. So I took my headphones Read More
