Christian Walker and Candace Owens are not “rebranding” you just aren't familiar with the foundational tenets of Black conservatism and underestimate how much your own values actually line up with those tenets.
They're the same people.
Nah it's actually wild that folk took a second look at the term “African-American” and decided to take issue with the “African” part and not the “American” part.
Idk how y'all supposedly “socialists” and scared of guns. If Black socialists were arming ourselves the way these white conservatives are we'd be making decades worth of progress within a few years
The idea that Obama didn't do anything for New Afrikans because he was half-Kenyan and not because both his parents were CIA assets is an incredibly reductive analysis
Black female therapist admitting that she has an issue seeing her Black male clients as fully human and people are still saying that therapy is the solution to all the social woes of Black men
Black men are the people I've ever heard told they need to go to therapy for “accountability.”
For everyone else I've always heard it was for “coping, healing, and learning”
Crazy how that works.
Y'all really let a self-identifued “elite biracial” that was calling Black men “bullet bags” during the height of protests against state-sanctioned genocide rebrand into a Black Feminist Influencer.
I'll never take y'all serious.
White women do not simply “go along” with colonial; they are collaborators and architects in colonialism. Colonialism cannot happen without the active enthusiastic participation of white women.
Y'all teaching your Black daughters to see themselves in a mermaid princess who gives up not only her royalty but her literal voice to chase after a white boy??
Ard y'all got it.
Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett says Black voters aren’t supporting Joe Biden as enthusiastically because “feelings are dictating their reality” and they aren't “understanding exactly how any of this works” Thoughts 💭 ?
54% of adults in the U.S. cannot read on a 6th grade level. The parents aren’t able to read on grade level either. This isn’t an issue that parenting alone can solve. We need to reimagine how we do education.
Black men do not have to accept feminism's analysis of our condition or being in order to redeem ourselves from whatever faults or harm folks have attributed to our very existence as Black men.
Maybe people calling him “a capitalist acting like a revolutionary” has less to do with feelings of envy and more to do with the fact that he often seeks to associate himself with figures like Fred Hampton, who would have regarded him as an enemy.
I am patiently waiting for the day that we learn to view Black men as anything other than a amalgam of pathological traits requiring censure, correction, and civilizing.
Black boys/men heavily need classes on empathy, rape culture, woman’s studies, sex Ed. This list goes on. They need to learn about community. Niggas gon say i’m pandering but that’s exactly why you need the classes. Step outside yourselves and take accountability.
Y'all get mad every time you see two Black people happy without the things you've been taught to believe people should want for themselves. Please go outside.
You know how racist you gotta be to try to paint the guy pinning someone to a wall and preparing to strike him as an innocent victim?
The right of self-defense seems to only extend to folks who wanna lynch Black people.
WARNING, GRAPHIC: On a SEPTA train platform in Philadelphia, 40-year-old Chaz Wearing, a homeless man who lives in the train system, punches an unidentified man causing him to fall onto the tracks as a train approaches the 34th Street Station.
The man died instantly.
Wearing is…
Some people are simply not suited for revolutionary work, and not because they are undisciplined, or uncommitted, or unprincipled, but simply because they hate the poor.
It puzzles me when people act as if it is inappropriate to merge aspects of your life with political struggle. It really is bourgeois idealism that forces us to segment aspects of our lives one from another so that we can more comfortably live a life of contradictions.
Liberals the most brain dead bunch this world has ever seen. Conditions are never right for their elected representatives to follow through on their commitments and it’s always somebody else’s fault
Some of y’all sat on that ass in 2016, or voted for Trump or 3rd party.
Then in 2020 you voted for Biden-Harris thinking that would be the magic eraser of election consequences.
We told y’all 2016 fucked us up for generations.
Folks think if you're struggling you should be willing to do anything for money, any undignified or exploited labor, even if the pay is bullshit.
I'm incapable of being on that time. Money don't move me. And if I'm gonna be broke either way I'd rather be broke on my own terms.
@cosasreina1
Let's pretend this was a real thing that real people did.
What would justify anyone inventing pejoratives to make light of and ridicule the deaths of Black women? If you would say this is unacceptable for any reason, why are you so comfortable with the genocide of Black men?
Boys are not easier to raise, you just neglect them and their social development because you know the world bends over backwards to accommodate, protect and explain the behaviour of the men they will become.
What I haven't seen folks on the "left" acknowledge or even be willing to admit is that the kind of violence that lynched Jordan Neely is considered not just excusable but justifiable and necessary because it is violence against a Black MAN.
Running a death camp and dispossessing people of their land and resources to mine coltan and cobalt in the Congo is perhaps not quite comparable to... *checks notes* owning a cell phone.
Please be serious.
Black people should be 100% endogamous. Black spouse. Black children. Black family.
If you are African and not endogamous in your practice, your Nationalism or Pan-Africanism is nothing but rhetoric. You just have an opinion; you’re not committed to nation building in real life.
Crazy how their maleness didn't protect them and her being a woman didn't threaten her position.
My intersectionality arithmetic couldn't have predicted this.
So here we are. The GOP-controlled legislature has expelled the two Black Democratic legislators
@brotherjones_
and
@Justinjpearson
but did not remove the white female legislator
@VoteGloriaJ
. So tell me how to process that because I know what it feels like.

There’s a lot of disinformation already about the mass shooter in Buffalo, NY. To be clear, he didn’t have an “Azov Battalion symbol” in his manifesto — it’s a sonnenrad (black sun), which is a common white supremacist symbol.
These folks are not gonna take away guns from these white supremacists. Refusing to arm yourself under these conditions is suicidal. Don't let that liberal brain get you and your people killed out here
Black man, pathologizing other Black men will not make you more evolved, empathic, or lovable. If you would like to win virtue, you have to actually be a good person; self-righteous pontifications against other Black men will not do it for you.
A woman that calls other women “pick me’s” for regarding Black men as anything other than pathological isn't the kind of woman I want to be around. A woman that holds a tacit fear/disdain for Black men but treats me as the ‘exception’ isn't the kind of woman I like to be around.
He died because a white woman lied on him and used the trope of the Black male rapist to have a child lynched.
If you don’t understand the inextricable connection between racism and popular conceptions and theorizations around rape and Black men, please investigate your history.
The KKK: We think that Black men are ontological rapists for explicitly racist reasons.
You, a clown: Egad! Unacceptable!
Twitter rabble: We think that Black men are ontological rapists for ostensibly feminist reasons.
You, still a clown: Wow, y'all better preach! So true!
At least y'all are willing to admit that your anti-Blackness is informed by your petit-bourgeois class aspirations instead of rationalizing those standard anti-Black male pathologies (this time).
I guess we could technically call that growth. 🥴
@KimberlyNFoster
The harsh reality is that there's a massive shortage of high-quality black men for someone like Quinta Brunson to marry. If she married a Black man, she would almost certainly be marrying down in the social and class hierarchy.
Any critique of Black feminism(s) is not enmity against Black women or "marginalized genders" (whatever tf that means)
Black feminism is not synonymous with Black women, and a considerable portion of Black women are, in fact, not feminists.
Folks be like “abolish the gender binary” then wanna juxtapose “men” against “women & non-men” in every gender analysis they develop. Using phrases like “women & femmes” unironically.
You don’t wanna abolish the binary; you just wanna make it more inclusive at best. Be serious.
Y'all think that because she stated that these men “lack emotional intelligence” that it justifies her struggling to even regard them as fully human.
As if these two things aren't mutually constitutive attitudes commonly held towards Black men.
There are a myriad of reasons why Obama is who he is and why he serves the purpose that he serves, but the fact that he isn't of New Afrikan lineage is the least of those reasons
Eldridge Cleaver can't be counted as queer for literally having sex with men but Malcolm X can be counted as queer based off the conjecture of some disheveled white man?
The greatest grift of the last century was getting Black folks to be preoccupied with a falsified metric of our “buying power” so that we would ignore the fact the real surplus value of our exploited labor is always exponentially greater than the amount of money we spend.
YOU ARE NOT GOING TO DESTROY THE DOLLAR. THE US DOLLAR FALLING WILL NOT HELP BLACK PPL AT ALL. Crypto is Black ppl Savior either cause dun dun dun you use USD to buy it. Black people control less than 1% wealty BUT are spending power is $1.6TRILLION?? Why? How? Let's build
@thediplomat05
Let me know which circumstances make it okay for anyone to make light of and ridicule the systemic genocide of Black women en masse right now. Quickly. Let me see you come to the defense of someone who engages in such behavior.
I find it interesting how we’ve managed to connect everything to anti-Blackness.
Ableism is anti-Black, homophobia & transphobia is anti-Black, misogyny is anti-Black, yet many of the folks who will say this feel very comfortable exercising misandry against Black males.
This Katt Williams video is pure distraction. Who the heck cares ? Didn’t y’all just witness this black woman basically get lynched by white supremacy this week ? Claudine Gay was forced to quit because of racism and misogyny won. But y’all worried about flipping Katt Williams!
I've never seen one of these mutual aid posts be like “Black male in need of financial assistance”
You gotta have certain kinds of identity in order to appeal to a sense of virtue with these things
I hope one day niggas don't feel the need to prove their social utility or moral virtue by self-righteously chastising Black men for everything they imagine us to be.
Do AD*S folks know that enslaved Africans we're sold between colonies? Like you could sold from Carolina to Trinidad and vice versa just as much as you could be sold from Virginia to Georgia. Do they know this?
If somebody told you that the U.S. isn't a white supremacist nation because the KKK never wins any elections, you would rightfully call them a fucking idiot.
U.S. leftists think that by “opposing all states” from within the greatest imperial hegemon and purveyor of genocidal violence the world has ever seen that they are supporting the “masses” and the “people” globally when really they are only yielding tacit cover to the U.S.
These folks are virtue signaling. Pretending they care about gay and trans people while their own homophobia/transphobia governs their dating “preferences.” Cheap excuse to pass off their own bigotry onto Black men.
It was only a few decades ago that our elders were putting their very lives on the line fighting for things national liberation and self-determination—SOVEREIGNTY—but now the highest stakes people are willing to engage with amounts to a debate about “desirability politics” online
