As long as you don’t need gas, groceries, affordable healthcare, retirement savings or constitutional rights, things aren’t so bad.

“Black Power is giving power to people who have not had power to determine their destiny.”

— Huey Newton

DUH

Where is a good old fashioned smiting, a pox on a house or some personalized plague & pestilence when it's needed?

How much more evidence do we need? The ultra-rich and the governments supporting them will destroy everything for the sake of profit, power and pride. Nothing is precious to them - not human life, not the living world - except their own wealth and status. Our survival depends on resisting them.

If you don't know what drapetomania is, please look it up. There is a clear connection between antiBlack propaganda & the need for whiteness to be seen as "supreme". One doesn't work without the other. It is natural to want to, to strive to be free. Colonizers be damned. We WILL be free.

With a mouthful of meritocracy, they can't even pass an audit.

All that pageantry for CK served to emphasize the significance of racism, xenophobia, misogyny & misogynoir in the national consciousness. Othering out loud. Dead soldiers are just the price willingly paid for the bloodlust fantasies of an insane death & destruction regime.

And it has always been this way. The outrageous tolerance for diabolical crimes against humanity as long as humanity doesn't look like them drives everything in the US. Ultimately, it will be the grand undoing of this criminal enterprise. Unfamiliar w/accountability, they always blame someone else.

It's horrendous but the upside is that it reveals all the things.

"...to mask their incompetence and line the pockets of the few"

Swept the dirt under the rug but the house is still filthy.

The healing power of music...

Thank you for this!!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

It's odd that EVERY Black woman's best friend is white, except Anita & Leslie who has no friends.
Thanks for your perspective.

This is the first soap I have ever watched & I'm not always sure if I'm expecting too much or not enough. I'm going to keep watching because I want those folks to keep working. I just really don't like the power dynamics. 1/

That raggedy VIP room!!

The pivot to Vanessa being a public facing clinic player reeks of centering whiteness. Derek being involved is OK but the face of it is not. How does his experience translate to being an administrator? The lack of credit/attention to Samantha is crazy work. Seems like a stank mess.

He closed his eyes so that we would open ours...

Indeed...

What I want to know - is he going to do HIS face?

"Special Envoy for The Shield of the Americas", the "Board of Peace"

Yeah, no, don't say "you can't make this shit up" because you clearly can.

"Little kid" Pretty neat" sounds like a character from a 50s sitcom. Box-o-rocks...

It's already on his Wikipedia page. 🤣

Trying my best to think of a good reason to vote to block if you or your klan members aren't guilty. If there ever was time for a "leak"...

The way they lie! No wonder so many can't discern facts or truth from BS. Those who suffer the direct effects of their (dis)respect ain't buyin none of what they sellin.

Card declined & revoked. Do not even think about reinstatement.

The question is integral to untangling her grift web & she should have to answer. The fact that she didn't offer a simple 'no' says something...

"Angry Black Woman"

As if we do not have a right to our anger...
