  1. Tyrese headed to Memphis Best of luck to him 🤘🏾
  2. I’ve been emailing and texting friends across the country who work in higher ed about the UT thing. They are pissed at UT and wondering why an institution like ours would do such a thing. I keep telling them UT is following the orders of the state. It’s not us, it’s the state. This has really put a black eye (no pun) on The University.
  3. Am I offended when I hear Latinos say the n word? No. When I first heard it, I was in the locker room at the gym. I legit couldn’t start my workout for 15 minutes because I was thinking “should I be offended at that?” Other Black folk here may have a different opinion but for some reason, I’m just not offended.
  4. Part of my lecture on Language and Culture in my Into to Communications and Interpersonal Communications classes centered around reclaiming words. The n-word is a reclaiming word. (As is bitch and the f word for gays) My students really understood the lecture, asked questions, and the conversation in class was always cordial. I encourage those who weren’t apart of those communities, especially related to the n word, to ask questions if they had them as my class was an open classroom. The few Black students I had in those classes would also share their experiences and their thoughts, and overall during my years of teaching, this lecture was always positive. Until… I always ended the lecture above with this question—what happens when another culture adopts the n word and they start saying it? My students would always look puzzled and ask “dr. Pancho, what do you mean?” And I’d have to explain that I, a Black man, have personally started to hear more Latinos use the n word than Black people. Then I asked my students, “should I be offended at that? Should I say something?” I just always leave it there and allow the class to dictate the conversation. It’s very, very interesting. What’s more interesting is the amount of Latinos who start to realize that oh shit, they and their homies actually do use the n word and then they wonder if they should stop.
  5. You are suggesting a PSA/class about when the best time for a woman to have a child and you are suggesting it be only for women.
  6. I’m not saying your example doesn’t happen. You’re just making it seem as if because you know a few women who thought this that means nearly all of them do. You even suggested a class solely for women on this very situation. It’s stereotyping. You’re also not accounting for the number of men who a) don’t have the soldiers anymore to conceive, b.) who also may not know about the eggs things, and c.) who either don’t want children or may want them later in life but they themselves can’t. Those aren’t the fault of a woman.
  7. WTF? This is not the flex post you think it is. What data do you have that shows 30 year olds and older “don’t realize” they’ve lost 90% of their eggs? Is it not highly possible they know the odds are lower at that age but that just so happens to be the age they are personally ready to try? Why is it just women not understanding their priorities when just as many men don’t want kids as well and just want to fuck around?
  8. Torbush. Why do women hate women? '
  9. It’s at your tailgate. just go there.
  10. House passes bill for Ukraine and bill to ban TikTok.
  11. These people have been indoctrinated, brainwashed, and need to admit they are in a cult
