samboism
A lifestyle which certain African-americans subscribe to where they embrace racial "black" stereotypes because mainstream society already blames them for the negative perceived actions. "If your doing the time, you might as well do the crime." The name Samboism is derived from the offensive "classic" character Sambo, used in the past to racially portray African Americans.
Your a black person who follows all the rules, yet all the white people and other ethnicities still just see you as a criminal because of your complexion. So you say F*¢# it and you put a durag on, a coogie hoodie, roca wear baggy jeans, and some Jordan's you stole from a person who worked for them. Then you rob a liquor store for cash, 40ozs, grape crush, and newports; they gonna think your gonna do it any way so you might as well do it and get the money and products.
He is a samboist. And a terrible person.
Immortal Technique: civil war- "I don't hate on the south,I respect their vision, I just hate on n¡??@$ that promote Samboism.

Back when I lived in upstate new york
A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.
Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.

TLDU
Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.
