It’s kind of Amazing how white people all of the sudden see race when they see no representation of themselves.

Tell me what's funnier than right wing guys complaining about a lack of diversity for the 1st time in their lives.
They had to sit through 13 whole minutes of black people, during Black History Month.

Although there have been discussions & articles about Project 2025, VERY FEW focus specifically on Trump's plans for Black Americans That's why I read all 922 pages of #Project2025 as well as #Agenda47 Here are the top 10 things I found: A thread: thegrio.com/2024/07/15/i-r…

@dradambanks Sir you have the rest of your life to do that! You may not have the rest of your life to travel!

As much as I want to travel this summer, I think what I really want is to lay on grass in the day and sit on my porch at night. It’s really that simple.

@ProfGilbert @Trevornoah Were you there on April 26? We were too! Wish I saw you!
What an absolutely hilarious and fun show🤩

Last time I brought a date. This time I saved the money and bought a better seat. Lol. Excited to see @Trevornoah live for probably my 5th time!

Trying to figure out why I street was closed off at 17th. Bus couldn’t get through so I had to get out and walk. Helicopter circling overhead is always unsettling!

Might be the only person in the world who’s disappointed they have done away with Just Walk Out tech at Whole Foods. Self-checkout really is not the same! 😪

@Ivuoma Maybe a lot of Africans. Lol. I think trust is an issue in many African countries. I know it is in Cabo Verde as well!

Idk why the inclusion of Ghanaians tickled me here, I’m sure it could be swapped out for Nigerians but I’m like whew, glad we’re not mentioned for once as the non American black people.
Ultimately, I appreciated the thread, it’s a good and interesting point.

Studies show collectivists (Chinese, Japanese, Indians, Thai, Ghanians) are more likely to withhold information during negotiations, have frenemies than real friends, hold zero-sum beliefs, compare themselves to others, feel bad about themselves when their friends succeed. 3
