Happy birthday to Paul Robeson — pro athlete, actor, singer, civil rights activist, and socialist — born on this day in 1898. When he traveled abroad, Robeson made a point to sing for workers. Here he is performing ‘Joe Hill’ to Scottish miners in 1949.

‼️The Black Capitalism Trap (w/ @IMIXWHATILIKE, @paul_prescod, & @NobleQAli)‼️ "I find it really funny, this idea, I don't know where this is coming from, that somehow it's the white capitalists who are telling Black people capitalism is bad to keep them down. I'm like: I assure you, white capitalists really love that there is a podcast full of black guys talking about capitalism." Three Black leftists break down the viral @marclamonthill Joe Budden podcast debate on capitalism.

@RifatullahIn @MRIFree338800 @majornija Move to your fantastical, singular “Africa” and do your work there instead of sitting in 🇺🇸 as a foreign asset spreading anti- 🇺🇸 BlkAm denationalization propaganda.

What you’re saying is that it makes perfect sense for Black Americans to believe that our ancestors would contribute to a spiritual wrath towards white people who have brutalized us, but that it wouldn’t apply to the people who sold their own to those very same white people to brutalize simply because they are African. And the fact that you think this isn’t absurd… is what makes the post so incredibly astounding. Because you are quite literally creating a separate standard of accountability for one group of people simply based on skin complexion. Not loyalty. Not allegiance. Not reciprocity. Not respect. Not culture. Skin complexion. That is what you believe to make sense. 😒

@eihtbeezy Not too long ago folks on social media were saying that Hurricanes damaging America were our ancestors punishing white America for slavery, but now in 2026 folks are saying, oh floods happening in Ghana were because our ancestors are upset because they went the UN.

@RifatullahIn Um no. Selling children to Arabs for years and then selling them to Europeans is in fact death and destruction. The Africans are apart of the problem.

@MRIFree338800 What scholarly books have you read on the so-called Arab slave trade? The Europeans only utilize that verbiage is a tactic to shield their dirty deeds.

@RifatullahIn They didn’t start the slave trade. Slave trades existed in Africa BEFORE the Europeans. There was literally the Arab slave trade.

@MRIFree338800 I am explaining the history of an organized WAR carried by the Yurugu by the names of Antão Gonçalves ,Lançarote de Freitas and Prince Henry the Navigator coming our shores in the year 1441 and 1444 stealing away. WE weren’t sold to heathens.

@MRIFree338800 Let's say you're correct and they had ports there and slavery was happening on the continent it still does not excuse the devils for what they did it sounds like that's what you want to do is excuse the devils by saying oh in Africa such and such was already going they were okay.

@MRIFree338800 We didn't have established ports when the Portuguese came. I gave you the name of the devils: Antão Gonçalves ,Lançarote de Freitas and Prince Henry the Navigator, the truth needs to given to shame these devils.

The point is the Europeans came to established slaves ports and participated in trade. Nobody attacked Africans. White people didn’t have the man power, navigation or skill to overpower people of a continent they knew nothing about. The devil’s who bought human beings are no more evil than the devil who sold people to them. You’re a liar.

@MRIFree338800 Those Devils could have been coming in the 1300s. The point is that the Europeans came attacked us and started the transatlantic slave trade.

@RifatullahIn 1. The Portuguese started coming to Africa in 1415. You were wrong so take that L 2. You’ve done nothing but tell lies and gaslight this entire interaction. 3. I wasn’t sold to anyone and this isn’t France so there’s NO “we” anything.

@MRIFree338800 Look either you believe that the Europeans started the Trans Atlantic slave trade, first by attacking our shores via direct military attack and expanding it by funneling weapons in and instigating war between different groups for the Europeans benefit thus causing our MAAFA.

LOOK, Either you believe the TRUTH, which is that Africans sold slaves, there was a trade between them & europeans & they brutalized entire populations of people, or you're a delusional liar and you don't.

@BonafidePSC @MRIFree338800 Look either you believe these devils attacked our continental coast and started stealing us away or not. I have read the history. The Portuguese attacked us and placed us in bondage.

People who are justifying commodifying human life… solely based on the fact that “Africans didn’t get paid enough for the people they sold so they should get a pass” Are truly thee worst.
To Be Awake Is Everything@RifatullahIn

@MRIFree338800 @majornija Not all of were sold many were stolen, however the total percentage of involvement and profits from that involvement gained by Africans engaged in selling other Africans is infinitesimal.

Knowbody, Bonafide.! (OG, but still MC)
No, YOU people act like that's the approach y'all wanna see yourselves defending.! "We" sounds more French, than us; prisoners and chattel ain't the same, and, your slick redefinition don't change your guilt of participation.! Oh, and a Mall of America would be as tiny as a "Mom & Pop's" store compared to the African continent's western coastal trade; I said answer carefully, and you didn't... tsk, tsk, tsk.!
