Cruelty and injustice persist in America because propaganda convinces so many of you that some deserve mistreatment.

I was forced to the back of the bus. This ain't theoretical for me. I lived this shit.

I’ve been watching The Twilight Zone at night, and I had to share tonight’s episode: ‘He’s Alive,’ where the ghost of adolf hitler haunts a neo-nazi. It’s an exercise in prejudices that remains relevant, especially this closing monologue. He’s alive….

When I was in the 5th grade, my DARE officer told the class that the racism our parents experienced a generation before was over. James Byrd was murdered a few months later. I can never forget this. They dragged him till his head came off.

How many cartoons can you name where a Black boy is the hero? Not a sidekick, or comic relief, but the one who gets to dream, to fall, and grow. For too many Black boys, the first time they see themselves is in headlines, obituaries, or mugshots. It’s time for something new.

This is such an eloquent way to put it.

Like I’m not arguing history and human rights with a maga troll who paid $99.99 for a 4 week alpha male academy taught by MagaKiin6. Like I’m just not doing it. Toni Morrison was absolutely right, it is a distraction.

James Baldwin said it in 1965 and it has not aged a single day: The reason Americans cannot face their history is that the history indicts their identity. And you cannot ask someone to accept the evidence that destroys who they think they are. White Americans, he said, need the Black American to remain inferior, because their own superiority is the only thing that makes sense of a country built on those terms. The same structure applies outward. Americans need the rest of the world to remain in need of American guidance, American intervention, American rescue. Because without that story, what exactly was all the violence for? The empire doesn't just extract resources. It extracts meaning. And the people who built their inner lives on that meaning will fight as hard to keep it as any general ever fought to keep territory. Harder, maybe. You can negotiate territory. You cannot negotiate with someone's need to believe they are one of the good ones.

“The function, the very serious function of racism is distraction. It keeps you from doing your work. It keeps you explaining, over and over again, your reason for being.” - Toni Morrison

My background is in sociology, criminology & psychology. So I want to share this book we discussed in my undergrad Perception class, for those curious about how White superiority & Black inferiority have impacted psychological theories.

“Its racist to think Black ppl can only represent Blk ppl & to think White republicans wont represent Blk ppl & minorities” Unfortunately, in nearly every field, “White is the assumed norm” & Black & Brown ppl have to fight just to be represented adequately. This is just 1 ex

and this is exactly why they want to remove those courses and degree programs from colleges and universities. they don’t want you to critically engage with the things you see, here, and feel.

My "woke take" is that people need to stop calling everything considered being politically correct "woke" and recognize that the term was made to specifically apply to being vigilant and aware of racial prejudice and systemic injustice

Meta illegaly downloaded 80+ terabytes of books from LibGen, Anna's Archive, and Z-library to train their AI models. Aaron Swartz downloaded 70 GBs of articles from JSTOR (0.0875% of Meta) in 2010. Faced $1 million in fine and 35 years in jail. Took his own life in 2013.

theme: black sexual liberation.

This is my issue with conservatives explained in a single video: They are COMPLETELY unable to practice any kind of empathy (neither cognitive nor emotional) with any out-group. Until they have first-hand experience with an issue, they cannot fathom that it even exists

The price??? Yesss Lego 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

If you’re mad about Louisiana, you can do something to help us in Louisiana. I literally grant write and fundraise alone so I can put women and girls through school, pay their rents and mortgages, and provide them menstrual products. Don’t talk about us in Louisiana like we’re dead. tpfwoman2woman2026.funraise.org Learn more at ThurmanPerryFoundation.org

This was not that long ago. And anti-Black #racism persists in the United States and abroad. Please: 1. Stop denying racism exists. 2. Be educated on racism as an issue of prejudice, abuse of power, and manipulation of privilege. 3. Commit to being informed on systemic issues. 4. Pay attention to those who say they are being violated by systemic racism/discrimination. 5. Care. 6. Study the global and national impact of racism and white supremacy. 7. Honestly examine systems infiltrated by racist ideals [Some of those systems: Healthcare, education, criminal ‘justice’ (school to prison pipeline, prison industrial complex), housing, etc.]. 8. Study and quote Dr. MLK, Jr. to facilitate justice and true peace, NOT to maintain order as a form of false peace. Injustice is never in order. 9. Be open to understanding the “interconnectedness” of humanity. Think higher than 1 group “winning.” How can humanity win? 10. Decide on one system impacted by racism that you will work to change. Work on it. 11. Don’t be a racist. Give due spiritual, emotional, mental, and practical diligence to not being a vessel for hate, bigotry and racism. 12. Choose Nonviolence. Kingian Nonviolence not merely a tactic, but a love-centered way of living, with principles and steps that help create a more just, humane, peaceful world.

To be clear, it’s not Muslims VS Jews. It’s everybody VS Zionists. Your inability to separate the two is equally problematic.
