Yes. These fuckers are trogdolytes but they have put their heads together to develop a strategy based on the weaknesses they recognize exists in our societies. They know they need to sanitize white nationalism to take it to the next level, and so they got the Richard Spencer’s of the world to be covered by journalists

A white college student showed up at a vigil at a mosque in Canada for the Christchurch victims wearing a ‘Make America Great Again’ hat. These people are vile.

Your daughter’s experience does not reflect the experience of every survivor of sexual violence, and its kind of disgusting that you are using her trauma to criticize other victims of trauma.

He clearly didn’t ‘imagine’ the place since he furnished pictures of himself standing in front of the train station. He was wrong about when the alleged abuse began taking place in the train station, but he didn’t pull the train station out of thin air--it existed and he spent time there as a child. 

Yea, he mentioned Dr. Sebi in one of his tracks. 

Yep. I mean, his vigil was made up of blue candles. I’ve grown to admire Nipsey after learning all about what he did and what he believed, but he was undoubtedly still tied to gang culture—at the very least, he wasn’t disavowing it. And I don’t think he was unaware that his death could happen like this.

It’s a consequence of our community prioritizing straight Black men over other Black people for decades, even when they’ve explicitly shit on us.

So he’s packaging and gentrifying Black spiritual practices in order to make even more money from suburban white kids and adult white bros.

Loved this! Thanks for sharing your story. I’d love to talk about the black people who see being called ‘white’ as a point of pride. There’s a girl I went to high school with who listened to Linkin Park just like I did. She still proudly calls herself an Oreo, to the point that its her official handle on more than one

It ain’t got to be scary if we prepare. We know what’s coming. They’re only convinced of their success because they think we can’t or won’t fight back. They’ve been fantasizing about war by themselves like it will be a video game. Look how that Charlottesville dude in that Vice documentary broke down in tears after

This is so true. There was a white man in Canada who was just apprehended after killing more than 20 gay men. They were all Muslim except the last one, who was white. The police surmised that he targeted men who were likely to be marginalized in their own communities because of their sexuality and therefore more

Beyonce’s voice is like buttah.

Yea, I’m a black immigrant to the US and I’m not having a child here if I can help it. I can already tell I’ve been impacted by the trauma of being black in this country, but I never thought about passing that on to my child through birth too. Maybe I’ll have to move back home for a couple years to recalibrate before

Just adding that Cardi B clarified that she didn’t say ‘drugged’, she said ‘dropped’.

This, especially, feels so powerful to me and so important to strengthening us all who fight against anti-blackness and white supremacy. All kinds of black people have played a part in this centuries long fight and we all deserve to have that recognized—at the very least—by our own people. I can’t wait to read this

Right. I admire my younger self so much for finding what she needed in the music of Eminem, Hawthorne Heights, and Lil Bow Wow. I look back at those obsessions fondly even if the music doesn’t serve me in the same way now.

....I didn’t say it was? 

Lol, right. I’m happy he got off and always thought the story the CPD was giving wasn’t fully accurate...but I had a chuckle at the statement from his attorney. They are over doing it. Like come on now lol.
