Man of my times, the times just don’t know it yet. Mandinke Fighting Man. Guerilla Essayist. All Black Lives Matter. Revolutionary Pan-Africanist. Fisk Man.
He's right, I remember when I was growing up I begged for books but all anybody ever handed me was another glock. One time I asked for a copy of The Cat in the Hat and somebody handed me an AK-47. This must end.
Yes, never forget. The state took the children from their mother because she suffered from cocaine addiction, then took them from their aunt because she let their mother visit. They sent them hundreds of miles away to two White women, who abused them then drove them over a cliff.
Lena Baker was executed by the state of Georgia in March, 1945 for the self defense killing of her White employer who had repeatedly beaten and raped her. The historically illiterate, shameless shit stains at Blavity prefer to remember her as, supposedly, looking like Gucci Mane.

Malcolm X dictated his life story to Alex Haley PRECISELY TO CHRONICLE HOW FUCKED UP HIS EARLY LIFE WAS IN COMPARISON TO WHO HE BECAME. It’s not a “gotcha” or “reveal” to point this out, THAT WAS THE POINT HE WAS MAKING.

This really highlights how we’re never just talking about individual victims or even individual families, we’re talking about terrorized communities. We’re talking about populations targeted for colonial brutality under the guise of “law and order.”...
I retweeted this picture earlier, but it’s killing me. This woman is really standing, in Africa, looking at an African, in Africa, like “What the hell is this African doing here?” in, and I cannot stress this enough, Africa.

So if white people are allowed to summarily execute Black people who’ve been homophobic in the past, does that mean we can summarily execute white people for being racist?
Here is Jordan Neely openly attacking the gay community, drag queens, and using homophobic slurs before physically assaulting a man.
Where do liberals go from here?

So….what I’ve gathered is that these people make money by creating courses teaching other people how to be successful…but they’re only successful through selling those courses. This is the paradox of all self-help. The key to success is convincing people you have the key.
This is how the white kids he caters to approach hip hop, not as an actual culture with its own history, but as their mindless dose of youthful rebellion, a pure consumer product tailored to them. If it has a history, they might have to work to pose as any kind of “expert.”

Which people want Black culture to be ubiquitous? When did this marketing campaign occur? We complain constantly that our culture gets hijacked by media. Black culture is ubiquitous because corporations find it profitable. And you’re mad because we wanna hold something back.

Do leftists ever approach white workers and say “Hey, you need to stop being a bigot, you’re dividing the working class,” or is their only move: “Look, if you want the workers of the world to unite, you’re gonna have to tolerate some slurs.”

Btw, for everyone who would like to think of the Civil War as more than its White generals: Let's talk about how 250,000 Black men fought for the Union Army. Of these, 96,000 were refugees from Southern plantations and 154,000 were from the free Black population...

For the world to become good
And beautiful and kind?
Let us take a knife
And cut the world in two-
And see what worms are eating
At the rind.
~What Langston Hughes actually said.
This isn’t a gotcha. She’s deconstructing how she recognized her internalized anti-Blackness and got past it. We need more folks to do this, and be honest about it so it becomes more common.
I’ll add “I’m supposed to follow his leadership.” We shouldn’t be looking for people to follow. We aren’t going to find perfect human beings worth following. We should all be using our critical thinking skills, striving to do the best we can and holding everybody accountable.

Knowing the role of guns in Black American self-defense, I’m not against gun ownership. But this frivolous culture of gun fetishization, treating them not as highly potent tools of death, but toys to signal identity, clearly contributed to the recent school shooting…
What’s powerful about this quote is that he doesn’t try to minimize the fact that he was relatively privileged, the way a lot of folks on and off of here do. He accepts his unfair advantages as a moral charge and moves forward toward justice.
...The children were not taken from their mother for any record of abuse, but because when her sixth child was born, she blood tested positive for cocaine. The murderers on the other hand, had already plead guilty to being physical abusive, yet were allowed to keep the children.
