spend more on energy bills because we're likely to be home more often due to fewer and fewer third spaces and being economically disadvantaged with less discretionary spending available means black folks can't afford to be out of the house like other groups can.

2nd Class Citizens like Malcolm X said ...we didn't deserve him or Dr. King, Jr. :unimpressed:

Do we ever have a study on us that is positive other than Black Fathers being in their kids lives and helping out with children more? That's like the only study I found on theColi showing us in a great light ....oh and the one about black men being in college more than the jails...that was positive too
:ehh: Had Malcolm and Martin been alive today, would they be down with the Nasty Brehz movement?

Detroit You bytch Ass nikka
It's just the way system was designed they find ways to tax us higher in our areas of the city but yet our taxes dont come back to our community. there's been books on this. like the suburbs get the most push with resources meanwhile we get the second hand shyt. :beli: i wouldn't be surprised that we pay the brunt of the energy bills . same way these cops are always in the black community driving revenue for the city with ridiculous amounts of tickets...
Shut yo bytch ass up you clown ass fakkit ass suspender wearing ass overweight Urkel lookin fukk boy. Youse a bytch. bytch ass nikka. Id slap the whole left side of your face completely off the bone you hoe ass nikka. fukk off. bytch.

Nope. Malcolm X would be disgusted at a lot of things we are doing as a people. But I'm sure the old Detroit Redd would chuckle at the fact he knows I'm not being serious about the stuff I post on here outside of Black Community related topics.

Malcolm X still hung out with Bumpy Johnson to the point that at his death it was said Bumpy was gonna put hit on the NOI.

With that said I'm sure Malcolm was not some uptight dude and did enjoy a laugh in his downtime. Same Dr. MLK, Jr. and other Civil Rights legends.

Aye breh, my parents believed in that shyt wholeheartedly, so anyone thinking of running in the crib while we were gone thought we were still there.

The backhand I caught when I asked why we'd do it when we didn't have shyt to steal....... :mjlol:



Bolded is exactly why having a smart/learning thermostat is such a value. Once it got that routine set to keep it warm while we're out and cool it down when we're actually there, managing the power bill got a lot less annoying.

Did anyone else's parents use something like this when you'd go on vacation? Itd turn 1 light on at certain time when you were on vacation.

Sidenote:

Maybe things were different in the 90s but as an adult now, the thought of leaving the house at 7 or 8 o'clock to beat highway traffic is:mjlol:

We did that shyt so people didn't see us putting suitcases in the car:pachaha:

Another way to look at it is this:

Of course. Black people are fighting many battles the second they step out in public. Definitely at work. Stress of thinking about what could go wrong. What HAS gone wrong. Helping this relative and that relative.

So yes. Black people need the comforts provided by electricity. So when they get home, they’re gonna need the AC to run longer cuz they worked harder than the next nonblack person.

These states find ways to extract all the money they can from poor ADOS people.

The way they allow these gas station gambling machines in poor communities is another disgusting example.



I saw something similar in 🇯🇲

I get up 7am to buy 🥛 and 🍞 and 🥚
And no supermarkets are open

But the slots machine 🎰 spot was open and all u can buy in there is 🚬 and 🍺

7 bloody AM
