Do not encumber your mind with useless thoughts. What good does it do to brood on the past or anticipate the future? Remain in the simplicity of the present moment.

so Instagram can give Taylor Swift a special tool to block negative comments over some damn snake emojis but didn’t think to help a celeb of color, such as FKA Twigs, who has had racists in her comments calling her a monkey and other racial slurs for the past 2+ yrs after she “dared” to be with Robert Pattinson…

I see you.

Judge Allows White Supremacist To Cover His Nazi Tattoos So Jurors Can Treat Him Fairly • Africanglobe.net

AFRICANGLOBE – A courtroom cosmetologist has been tasked to apply make-up on Bayzle Morgan’s face every day during his robbery trial, before jurors can see him. In the courtroom, Morgan will appear in street clothes, uncuffed and tattoo-free, the Review-Journal wrote.

A white supremacist showed up in court with all of his Neo Nazi tattoos covered up on Monday, as per a judge’s orders.

Bayzle Morgan, 24, is accused of stealing a man’s motorcycle at gunpoint in Las Vegas, Nevada, in May 2013.

He has tattoos on his head, face and neck, which include the words ‘Baby Nazi’, a swastika and an Iron Cross.

A panel of potential jurors allegedly said they wouldn’t be able to treat Morgan’s case fairly because of the markings, prompting a district judge to require them to be covered.

Morgan showed up in court on Monday covered in concealer – and when his attorney said the make-up had started wearing off, the judge agreed to delay jury selection, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported.

THIS IS BULLSHIT. I HAVE SEEN POC IN COURT IN CUFFS AND THE ORANGE PRISON JUMP SUIT BUT THIS FUCKER GETS A MAKE UP ARTIST TO COVER HIS PRIDE; THE NAZI SYMBOL TO FOOL THE JURY INTO THINKING HE IS A GOOD SON? SMMFH!

Today we reflect on the legacy of Muhammad Ali. Known as “The Greatest,” he gained fame for his boxing skills, charisma, and the controversy he generated outside the ring. In 1976 the Smithsonian acquired Ali’s boxing gloves and robe, shown here. At the donation ceremony, before a crowd of reporters and cheering spectators, Ali predicted that his Everlast gloves would become “the most famous thing in this building.” The gloves are currently on display in our  Museum of American History’s “American Stories” exhibition.

Knowing how to be solitary is central to the art of loving. When we can be alone, we can be with others without using them as an escape.
