From 'Beyonce and Jay-Z. The decision to exhibit a Beyonce and Jay-Z's artwork/video at the world-renowned Louvre Museum of Paris, France.
The slogan "Black is Beautiful" owed its existence to the ethnocentric 'Weltanschauung' or worldview that has been characterized by what A. Cesaire calls "European reductionism." Louvre's commercial decision is an advertisement that has elevated the African-American celeb couple to the same status as Da Vinci, thereby acknowledging that "Black is Beautiful."
"The Beyoncefication and Jay-Zification of Louvre: Make Black Beautiful Again" (by Zekeh Gbotokuma)
"The Beyoncefication and Jay-Zification of Louvre is, to some extent, a "Mea Culpa" confession. Through it, France (and the western world in general) is correcting and overcoming Eurocentrism and obsolete pseudo-scientific theories that have ostracized Africa and reduced Africans to second-class humans and cosmocitizens. The Beyoncefication and Jay-Zification of Louvre is one of the best possible ways of practicing the French republican ideals of LIBERTE, EGALITE & FRATERNITE" (Z. Gbotokuma).
EBK stands for "Elite Ball Knowledge." 1 In internet slang, "ball knowledge" originally referred to a deep understanding of football/soccer or basketball, but it has evolved into a broader term for having a highly sophisticated, deep, or niche understanding of any specific topic (such as music, movies, or subcultures).

Texas is categorized as a swing state in presidential elections, but has voted for Republicans more times than for Democrats in recent history. As such, as demographics change political alignments, some Democrats believe that Texas will vote blue, or Democratic, due to their Hispanic and African American voters, who often align themselves with the Democratic Party's liberal wing.
Blexas has been cited as possible in the upcoming decades, but only if Democrats continue to win the Hispanic vote in bigger margins.
Democrat 1: What is your prediction for the 2024 presidential election?
Democrat 2: Well uh, Blexas!
Democrat 1: You've been saying that since 2008 though.
Brought to public attention by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein in the book on the fall of Richard Nixon, All The President’s Men, ratfucker was Nixon’s term for a political operative who sows chaos among opponents; an agent provocateur. It is thought to have originated among campus political rivalries at USC, and seems to have some usage in the US military.
Along with Nixon’s other ratfuckers, Roger Stone caused fights at otherwise peaceful Democratic Party protests to generate a false narrative that the Democrats were violent and dangerous.
Term used to describe someone who is a mix of both rural (country) and urban (metropolitan) lifestyles/upbringings. He/she is typically equally comfortable in both settings and is able to seamlessly slip back and forth between the two, appreciating the characteristics of each.
That ol' gal of mine drives the 12 lane freeway during the week and a John Deere on the weekends. She likes opra and the Grand Ol' Opry. I love them countrypolitan women.
