How do white people delude themselves into believing that they can identify anti-Black racism better than a Black person? Enough to refute the validity of a Black person’s claim of anti-Black racism??? Like…how does one get to that level of ability to lie to themselves?
I'm convinced that a sign of getting old is how I keep buying new and fancy potato chip flavours, getting 1/3rd of the way through the bag and realizing I actually just want sour cream and onion.
Me: “You mad?”
Her: “Nope..”
***48 hours later***
Her: “I just think it's funny how..”
Me:
The President of the United States and the dumbest motherfucker on Earth should be two different People
Yes they should.
I love being black 🤧
Does anyone else feel like when you complain about the current situation in the US, it all sounds like conspiracy theories?
But you're spouting verified facts, some of which are being spoken out loud and proud by people in power?
I've watched Beychella way too many times not to know all of it.
New month, new blessings. February please be good to me ❤️

Happy Black History Month. Together we can and we will. 🫶🏾
won't you celebrate with me By Lucille Clifton won't you celebrate with me what i have shaped into a kind of life? i had no model. born in babylon both nonwhite and woman what did i see to be except myself? i made it up here on this bridge between starshine and clay, my one hand holding tight my other hand; come celebrate with me that everyday something has tried to kill me and has failed.

Lucille Clifton’s “won’t you celebrate with me” is the poem I reach for the most as I move through the world finding joy and breaking generational curses.
I remind myself that “i made it up” when I stumble building a life I’ve never seen.

Love love love this poem! This season of my life the "something has tried to kill me" verse is the one that hits the most. I'm hoping to move beyond it one day and settle into the "has failed" line
You're absolutely right. The 'nation of immigrants' framing erases America's foundational THEFT. Stolen people, stolen labor, stolen land. Real solidarity requires collectively confronting history, not flattening it.
Bernice King has it absolutely right. We are facing a moral crisis in this country. And we must all act together to end it.
Gtfo they cannot be serious
Just need this stomach to go down
You ever notice how people went from bastardizing “social Justice warrior” to “CRT” to “woke” to “DEI” and now they’re trying to make “activist” a condemnation?
If I’m killed in the streets, please do not call for peace. Burn it all down.
All. Of. It.
I would not want peace. If anyone claims I’d want peace, beat that mfer ass first.
Yall coulda just believed us…but I kkknow how difficult it is to believe some shit you don’t care about.
Def should be sleep 🫠
Buc-ees endorsed the orange man and wonder wheels. just so yall know.
*looks around* are we not there yet?!
Our government is murdering the citizens of this country. They are doing it without any checks on their violence

There is A LOT of misinformation going around about the continued funding of ICE.
It ISN'T a done deal.
Yes, it passed in the House, but the Senate hasn't taken it up yet.
That's the way this shit works.
CONTACT YOUR SENATOR NOW AND TELL THEM TO VOTE THIS FUNDING DOWN.
Directly linked to their level of literacy & a disinterest in poetry.
Some artists don't understand subtlety and neither do their audiences.
Stop telling black people how to go about their activism. We’ve always been the target, they’ve always found ways to harm us but now that it’s happening to y’all you want us to put our lives on the line like every other time. Nobody is saving you, save yourselves from the nightmare y’all created
Nuremberg trials for ICE is the moderate position
