Damn his rotator cuff is faulty? I thought he was peak genetic superiority. What's up with this defect? Is he this big a punk he can't take a jacked up rotator cuff? Wuss. Downright unAmerican.

the rewriting (whitewashing) of Black American’s contributions in America has been happening since forever and that’s why nonAmericans will incorrectly assume that Black Americans “don’t have culture”. Everything cool about America came from AAs.

If nonblack ppl actually engaged with Black american history they'd stop sounding like absolute buffoons everytime they tried to put their 2 cents in on amerikkka

These are my current reads.

I may just continue reading “Burn Down Master’s House” tonight. It’s sooo good, man.

I had wondered if there’d there was a book that would top “I, Medusa” this year for me — I might’ve found it!

I hate how "unc" has been appropriated. It's to the point where non Blacks also use it as a slur

it’s so irritating. especially high functioning depressed people, who feel they can just trudge through life without questioning why the system won’t provide further support. my depression is not high functioning and i can’t just pretend it’s going to get better because i try hard enough.

Those are just those bad white people over there. We're the "good white people" here.

"Over there" actually just ends up being themselves and everyone around them like five minutes later.

Our home was in North Gaza, but war took everything.
Now my daughter fights a serious illness, and we can’t afford treatment.

🙏 She survived the war… please help her survive this illness.

🫶 Any donation, even small, can save her life. Please don’t leave my child alone💔

This is part of Obada’s work in Gaza! Can you believe he’s able to work to free people living under conditions of starvation in rubble? If you needed a hero today, it’s him. And help him fundraise his survival.

The best moments of being a lawyer: when all the hard work pays off in freedom.
When a person is deprived of his freedom based on a void procedure, he doesn't become a prisoner; he becomes a hostage. Our mission is not to defend him, but to liberate him. Mission accomplished.✊

At the corner store I was told I need to do my hair because it’s a mess & was advised to put some curls in it. Trust neighborhood Black people to give you the straight truth about yourself to your face.

LEMME break it down for people who don't know history, the first Black people were brought here to do agricultural labor in the south, the south was historically where America's Black population was concentrated, & that actually holds true to this day. Fundamental. Were were you in kindergarten?

There's Crispus Attucks, there's Phyllis Wheatley, & more. The Black culture that now dominates is southern. The first Africans came to these shores in Virginia in 1619. Well before Crispus Attucks.

Yes. The slaves were kidnapped and transported directly to the south to work on the plantations. I don't believe we emigrated to the north until 20s, 30s, 40s, maybe.
