An American flag built on the backs of Black people...
Black music protesting white political terror in registers they never hear; reminiscent of ancestral spirituals embedded with instructions for runaways
All this in New Orleans... What a moment

All of them can agree on hating the creepy Canadian child actor who thinks he's hard.
Katrina was the wake up call a lot of y’all missed.
The density of references to his own work was impressive! It was palatable to all his new Drake-hating fans, showed how varied his talents are, & maintained the actually subversive character of his voice in a way that is honestly remarkable for the Superbowl stage.
Damn. Thanks for this.

Spent years promoting roots music, aka Black music. Worked with B.B. King, Albert Collins, Albert King, Koko Taylor, Lonnie Brooks, Gatemouth Brown, and many others.
Hung out in South Side clubs where I was the only white guy for miles. Loved every minute of it.
This is from a show I promoted in Detroit, the first time they ever played together.

As erasure advances, note.
New Orleans without Black people just isn’t.
I said it.
Please keep women of all races in your mix.
We are under attack.
We need you.
They would have preferred Trump humping the flag doing his signature double jerk off dance move with YMCA blasting in the background?
The Star Spangled Banner never made me cry before.
He is the bomb.
We should expect retaliation from those in positions of power.
A 2021 estimation had that down to 49.4%
So if the estimate is correct and the trend follows, non-Hispanic white children are the plurality or relative majority, but not the absolute majority of the US juvenile population
Are you suggesting it’s a message just for people who already get it? If so, why?

The north could’ve had slaves working in their factories but they didn’t.
Freedom riders were northern Whites.
The north lost the most men.
Northerners defied the fugitive slave act.
Do a little research before you blather

I'm struck by your investment in the myth of Northern Innocence.
We're the bad guys, bud. Northerner, Democrat--those labels aren't exonerating.
Your ☝️🤓 "ummm actually" was not appropriate in this context AT ALL, though.
Your feelings do not matter more than this conversation.
Believe it or not, it's not about you, & truly supporting Black Americans requires ongoing action TODAY.
Factories in the north were doing fine long before the Irish arrived in the 1850s. Slaves are not working in the factories ever.
The Civil War officially started in April 18 61.
Perhaps you never heard of the black Irish. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_people_in_Ireland
