To whichever white american this may concern,

I'mma make this short because its 2017 and I really didn't plan on dealing with y'all' this year. I understand. You all may have spoiled yourselves . . . ya' know with all of the privilege you all have been awarding yourselves since the beginning of the exploitation of the BLACK race. I get it! Nevertheless, your whining about violence that YOU initiated with an enemy that YOU created has become quite !@#%ING ANNOYING! I do not condone HATE CRIMEScommitted by ANY PERSON OR GROUP. Granted, right is right and wrong is wrong, but how dare white-america have the audacity to comment on cruelty and crime? Is the victim from the hate crime committed by Chicago teens traumatized? He may be. By all means, I am not decrying his pain . . . even if I was doing so, it would not matter because he is already comforted by white-america's deepest, deepest sympathies. white america has been CRUEL, HATEFUL, and committing the crime of MURDERING BLACK men, women, and CHILDREN for over 300 years now.

This is not an attempt to go tic for tac but understand this: Although what was done to him was WRONG, your white man lived! He still has his life! Our BLACK boys, girls, men, and women ARE GONE! They were brutally murdered! THEIR FAMILIES are TRAUMATIZED. WHERE was white-america's outcry when Trayvon Martin, Mike Brown, Tamir Rice, Freddie Gray, Eric Garner, Sandra Bland, Philando Castile, and Terrence Crutcher were brutally slaughtered? When american streets are being stained with the BLOOD of BLACK boys and men? Again, this is not me saying "an eye for an eye," this is me challenging you all. I challenge you to extend that same compassion to the next BLACK man or boy that is shot simply because of the color of his skin. If you rather remain a spoiled little brat and not share your compassion, SHUT THE HELL UP . . . because at that point you yourself would have just committed a HATE CRIME!

Sincerely,

A VERY ANNOYED BLACK WOMAN

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
