    i borrowed some books from my library ("Kwame Nkrumah: the father of African nationalism" and "The New Jim Crow") but i haven't had time to read them :/

    also recently i've been getting more looks from people in public. i was already getting looked at before (in a predominantly white area), but after wearing my durag daily i get way more looks and double-takes and it's kinda irritating. like bro stop looking at me

    lastly anyone has any personal recommendations for soul and R&B? i really like "My Place" (Nelly) and i wanna listen to more of that type of music

      The closest I get to rnb anymore is The Weeknd honestly; ever since R. Kelly caught a prison sentence that pretty much wiped out most of the rnb I was raised on

          Dawn FM was an entrancing album as far as I was concerned; but it also resonates a lot harder if you're caught up on Abel's older work because there's a whole narrative arc that sounds like 'toxic RnB boyfriend achieves the fame he always wanted and now has to recover and grow from it' here

      Kwame Nkrumah's Soviet biography is great too!

      Really gets you up to speed on the person!
