“In the Black community, we love to say YOU ONLY GET ONE MAMA, but at what cost? If your mom is toxic, when do you say enough is enough? If she’s the reason for your TRAUMA, then what? If you’ve tried over and over to have a respectful and healthy relationship with her, and she STILL keeps up drama, at what point do you stop allowing her to negatively disrupt your life and steal your peace? I encourage Black families to stop making excuses for abuse in any form. A mother shouldn’t be your source of dysfunction, pain, hurt, and disappointment. She should be your source of love, support, encouragement, and guidance. Let’s NOT normalize her foul behavior. You and your mental health matters!”

For years to come, there would be countless bounties offered on missing prominent Corsairs that had slipped through the net, with the occasional report of so-and-so being spotted on some or other rim world, presumably sporting a new beard and a pair of sunglasses – which might have raised a few eyebrows in the case of the many female Corsairs.”

“In the Black World, the Preacher and Teacher embodied once the ideals of this people—the strife for another and a juster world, the vague dream of righteousness, the mystery of knowing; but to-day the danger is that these ideals, with their simple beauty and weird inspiration, will suddenly sink to a question of cash and a lust for gold.... What if the Negro people be wooed from a strife for righteousness, from a love of knowing, to regard dollars as the be-all and end-all of life? What if to the Mammonism of America be added the rising Mammonism of the re-born South, and the Mammonism of this South be reinforced by the budding Mammonism of its half-wakened black millions? Whither, then, is the new-world quest of Goodness and Beauty and Truth gone glimmering?”
