if i had a dollar for every time some white person told me "but you're not really black" i wouldn't have a mortgage i would have just paid cash for this place.
Frederick Douglass on what happens when black people don’t fit racist stereotypes:
If this were a pregnant white woman, there would be a firestorm of outrage coast to coast, even if she was armed and threatened the life of a police officer.
But an unarmed, pregnant Black woman only "suspected" of a petty thief, and posing no threat is put down like a dangerous animal.
This is not a few bad apples, or a police problem, it's the manufactured culture of #whiteness and the state-sponsored racial class system that cultivates and defends it.

Those Black students are likely transferring to Howard. Or other schools where they feel more comfortable.

In the past week, the U.S. executed two Black men, each of whom might have been innocent of their alleged crimes. Five more executions are slated to follow. In this post on @medium, I write about the man executed last Friday and why we should honor his name, Khalil Divine Black Sun Allah.

The 1619 Project was not a legal claim. It did not declare that the nation was born in bondage. What it said—plainly—was that America’s founding ideals were inseparable from its founding crimes. Black Americans were not passengers. They were agents. Not beneficiaries—Builders.

He's visiting a McDonald's in Philly.
The franchisee obviously getting paid off. Or they're a supporter just like the Chick-fil-A owner in Atlanta.
They just lost business to the Burger King and Wendy's down the street.
Another attempt to woo Black voters.

For any new followers (finally) fleeing from Twitter: hello, I'm Anthony, and I run a blog (split into two sections) about media and tech. I write about comics, animation, Linux/blogging/other tech, streaming services, and diversity in the above.
My Mastodon posts are mostly along similar lines as the above, plus occasional mention of sports.
Thanks for following me!

My last #selfie for the algorithm before I deleted IG last weekend. Goodbye after 12 yrs + 50k followers 👋🏾 I couldn’t have done it if I hadn’t gained some traction here, so thank you for following.
I grew up in #punkrock and #anarchist organizing, so moving to #NonCorporate and #decentralized social media feels full circle. I want my #pottery to be part of a future of thought that represents progress and liberation.

Yep.
He ignored Altadena entirely.
Not one mention.
He didn't send anyone either.
We all know why.

The Book of Negroes is more than a ledger—it is a story pressed into parchment, a testament to the brutal arithmetic of freedom. It begins in the final days of the American Revolution, a conflict that promised liberty but delivered it unevenly.

For my latest article in @assignedmedia.org I interviewed Aria Sa'id, Black #trans organizer and co-founder of the world's first #transgender district.
White men complaining again.
They want Blacks and Latinos attending community colleges and trade schools instead.
Or HBCU'S.
