President Obama delivers Howard University’s 2016 Commencement address.
Even though 3Chics Politico is written and curated by three women: Ametia, Rikyrah, and SouthernGirl2, I must nominate this as one of the most engaging blogs I've found. Devoted to politics and culture, these three shine a light on contemporary life with humor and spirit.

I always marvel at the Blackademics who say PBO needs to make a defining statement on racism. The statements are already made by the racists

Kneegrows take one Black studies class and swear they’re leading our people to Freedomland. #YouAintGotADreamAndYouAintBeenToNoMountaintop

The leader of the free world, a Black man, said “be confident in your Blackness.”

Love how PBO brought up that grad Ciera was accepted to Harvard but attended Howard. Slapped the Scalia “lesser universities” theory in face

This is undoubtedly accounts for Ms. Tyson’s beautiful LONGEVITY.
PBO quotes James Baldwin: “Eveything we face can be changed. Nothing can be changed until it’s faced.”
PBO:
“You can be completely RIGHT, but you’re still going to have to engage folks who disagree with you.”
“I will take better everytime.”
“I always tell my staff: “Better is good, because you consolidate your gains and then you move on to the next fight.”
This is why Bernie Sanders needs to stay in until all the votes are counted.
Like him or not, he has the right to stay in and the voters have a right to decide if they want to VOTE for him or Hillary.
PBO: “A TRUE DEMOCRACY INVOLVES COMPROMISE.& ALIES.”
Sasha on PBO’s Blackness. Y”OU DO YOU DADDY.”
PBO: “There’s NO LITMUS test for AUTHENTICITY.”

Ms Tyson’s address to the graduates was sooooooo AWE-INSPIRING
As old Ms Jane said, “YOU’RE THE ONE, YOU’RE THE ONE,
YOU’RE THE ONE!
Potus shouting out Brittany @MsPackyetti #BlackLivesMatter! Hey Now!
President Obama: Be confident in your heritage. Be confident in your blackness! #HowardU16
“Be confident in your blackness,” “there is no one way to be black … There’s no straightjacket, there’s no litmus test for authenticity.”
