BREAKING: The US has bombed Tehran’s main refinery and burning oil is now flooding down the streets into the city’s sewers.

This is a vision from hell, unleashed by the US tonight.

It would be only fair to the reader to say frankly in advance that the attitude of any person toward this story will be distinctly influenced by his theories of the Negro race. If he believes that the Negro in America and in general is an average and ordinary human being, who under given environment develops like other human beings, then he will read this story and judge it by the facts adduced. If, however, he regards the Negro as a distinctly inferior creation, who can never successfully take part in modern civilization and whose emancipation and enfranchisement were gestures against nature, then he will need something more than the sort of facts that I have set down. But this latter person, I am not trying to convince. I am simply pointing out these two points of view, so obvious to Americans, and then without further ado, I am assuming the truth of the first. In fine, I am going to tell this story as though Negroes were ordinary human beings, realizing that this attitude will from the first seriously curtail my audience. W. E.

I'd forgotten how hard the preface to DuBois's "Black Reconstruction" (1934) went...and am saddened by how contemporary it still feels.

Matt's one of the good guys! Check out this store, a labor of love.

Sorry to hear this, Matt. Hope things get better...

Well, not like, right now

Come one, be serious. Anyone can see he didn't mean that. Anyone who understands that people aren't necessarily just one thing, that is.

you sound like an asshole 😂

AIPAC is a good reason not to vote for someone.

Hey nice reach back to the Paleolithic era.

A lot of Americans, while still technically alive, have already given their souls over to evil and are completely dead inside

Hm. Maybe. But this is the same administration that runs concentration camps and deports 5 year olds with brain cancer. It feels like a government that revels in terror.

8/8 The fact that Platner is obviously a guy who has a Nazi-adjacent past--tattoos, Blackwater, history of racism--and is now running as a leftist is a BONUS for these guys. To them, it's not a red flag, it's proof of concept. They can't tell you that, though, because they know how that sounds.

Yep

Good point. And I’m not going to sit here and pretend I think Harris is a great politician or activist leader. But this “let’s find another way to kick her” shaming from people who I’m betting don’t know thing one about Jackson is just weak.

I am HIGHLY suspicious of a lot of “leftist” posting. I think people on this end of the spectrum are naive about how susceptible we are to disinformation/propaganda.

I’m betting Jesse Jackson would stridently disagree with you.

Thank you. Why don’t people want to admit this? Our system of citizenship is broken. What we get instead is a neutered consumerism and people who can’t be bothered to jump out of the path of an oncoming train.

Yep. People are definitely crazy all on their own, but in this climate, you can’t take anything for granted.

You explain it, then tell me how humans could engineer it. Because as far as I know, we still barely understand what it is.

Yeah, clearly. Again, not Texan, but I’ve seen nothing at all from him that says anti-Black or questionable.

It’s incomprehensible. And I’m not a Texan, but I really like Talarico! You have to wonder if there’s a troll campaign, because otherwise it’s just idiotic.

So it’s not just me??

You mean zero to me. But you’re sure acting like one.

Right? The level of friction here seems crazy.

Because they had a chance to elect a good Black candidate. That’s it. I really like Talarico a lot — but Crockett was strong and her appeal was obvious.

Yup. It’s extra annoying because there should be real solidarity between these groups. But this is the tendency over and over.

This is why we don’t trust you

If your party has as its backbone Black voters, which it does, you need to stop talking like a racist
