White Americans that haven't invested time in black culture don't see the discrepancy in saying, "Woke is just empathy for others'. Black Americans know it means having awareness of the apathy from white Americans they will face and how to navigate through it their entire life.

The incel belief that women should be punished for not wanting to fuck them and that there should be some kind of system of attractiveness assigned to everyone to ensure all men get assigned a woman is insanity

Only white men get on these apps and try to convince the rest of us that we need to engage with hate speech in our personal spaces because hurting marginalized people gets their dicks hard. Opinions are like assholes everybody got one and people are not required to engage bigots

Sunday during libation we were asked to think of ppl who’d passed but weren’t related to us. Brother Rice’s name fell heavy on my spirit. I couldn’t locate why so It felt inappropriate and I was even a little embarrassed. Now I’m seeing this. Trust the ancestors and say people’s names!😔🙏🏾❤️‍🩹🕊️

Some NBC execs are drooling and realizing their dream of replacing all anchors of color with white folks. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/24/b...

God, this makes me sick.

He is admitting that he doesn’t want lawyers to stop him from breaking the law. No one would stop him from issuing lawful orders, so this has to be about unlawful ones.

i think this is basically what has happened a big chunk of the american pundit class

friendship is literally the foundation of it all.

The white folks in the replies trying to insist OP is wrong is exactly why y’all should stop talking about woke. You don’t know what it means. And when someone Black tries to tell you what it means, he’s accused of mansplaining a lifelong activist. Just absolute shit.

The New Orleans Pelicans held a baby race tonight…

When the political leaders fire, for no apparent cause, senior leaders and, as important, the lawyers who embody the protection of the military members under the law... the relationship between the military and the nation has been fundamentally altered. open.substack.com/pub/contrari...

W.E.B. Du Bois on the white takeover of southern public schools after Reconstruction. Not a coincidence that the chapter, "Back Towards Slavery," follows his analysis of the eventual dedegration of the public school system. Attacks on education are vital to (re)instituting authoritarian rule.

I owe the television part of my career to @joyannreid.bsky.social, as do so many other Black voices y'all never would have heard of if not for her. And *that's* why she's gone. They can treat black folks as interchangeable, but everybody Black knows that Joy was indispensable.

They want Black women out of public life and any safety …. And people are just watching it happen

Good morning to people in these shades. 🌞 Keep your heads up.

Joy has been one of the few left on the network to call it like it is, and this sucks. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/23/b...

Breaking: Trump announced General CQ Brown was fired as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth also issued a slew of firings of top military leaders.

106 years ago this week, the US Army realized that it was hiring unqualified, uneducated, illiterate job candidates because of racial preferences… White men

By accepting Trump’s anti-Black premise and regurgitating the narrative that equates anything Black as DEI, the NY Times has become part of the propaganda machine

“In some ways that’s even more chilling than firing the four stars,” Rosa Brooks, a professor at Georgetown Law. “It’s what you do when you’re planning to break the law: you get rid of any lawyers who might try to slow you down.” By NYT Greg Jaffe www.nytimes.com/2025/02/22/u...

At Trump’s Black History Month event, Kimberly Brown, daughter of Hall of Fame running back Jim Brown claimed Trump was Black and a Hebrew descendant of King David. Brown: “People have to realize that 3,000 years have passed since Jesus Christ so skin color can always change.”

Of the Chiefs of Staff, vice chiefs of staff, and judge advocates general of the three branches, Trump fired all the women and Black people.

this is for my money the greatest r&b ballad of the 90s. just a fucking banger youtu.be/mwhwGmoYv1s?...

let me say that this is the classic “just asking questions” approach to delegitimizing the achievements of black people. and critically, you don’t even have to be a black person who talks about race. simply being black to these people means you are “obsessed with race.”

He nails it.
