They want to train AI with our history and advancements to reproduce as their own, in their image, colonizing through tech.

That is why they need the history, our history, and celebrations of it, erased.
Nothing they do is new or unique. Satan cannot create anything new.

The Long Shadow of Racial Fascism - Boston Review A debate is roiling about the aptness of comparing Trump to European fascists. But radical Black thinkers have long argued that racial slavery created its own unique form of American fascism.

African Americans been talking abt American Fascism since at least 1937β€”88 YRSβ€” & white ppl been discounting our observations, scholarship & experiences on the issue for tht long

Now tht there is chance of THEIR being impacted tho..😢

Anyhoo, My Evening Re-Read:

Nothing about a college degree is instant gratification

It’s four years of credit accumulation and discipline

Which is why I tell people that if their personality is attuned to instant experiences, just forget about college

Would be better off with trade school or a shorter professional diploma

Black People getting paid to shit on other Black People gotta be the loneliest job ever. It’s never worth the money.

SMH not a single Black-American? DEI didn’t help black Americans, and the response to the defunding of DEI doesn’t help black Americans. Nothing lost because nothing was gained.

On this day in 1896, the Plessy v. Ferguson decision allowed racial segregation in public facilities.

That ruling essentially
-legitimized Jim Crow,
-erased legislative achievements won during the Reconstruction Era,
-& allowed segregation laws & practices to infest beyond the south.

You might have to go before the weekend. A lot of IMAX screens will pivot to Thunderbolts on May 2nd.

The only reason it could be categorized as a horror movie is because by the time you get a quarter of through the film (before anything scary happens), you are completely emotionally involved with the characters that you wish the movie was just end and everyone is happy.

I do not like horror movies. This is not horror movies. It’s not built on jump scares or grotesque scenes filled with gore.

Go see Sinners this weekend. You will not be disappointed.
You will be thoroughly entertained. It will leave you with so much to think about.

11/10
Best movie of 2024, 2025 and likely 2026.

And I mean this with all seriousness, if you are posting clips and spoilers about Sinners like the movie didn’t JUST fucking coming out, I hope your brake stop working while you’re going 70 and stand still traffic is in front of you.

All the success around Sinners is once again reinforcing how our wins make yt people even weirder than they already are. The articles are weird. The headlines are weird. Those people need to learn how to stop letting their insecurities bleed all over other people. End of my Ted Talk.

Maternal deaths drop β€” except for Black women New CDC data: There are 3x more pregnancy-related deaths of Black mothers than white mothers.

It's #BlackMaternalHealthWeek‼️ Did you know that maternal mortality has dropped for most women except Black women?

Women already face physical, emotional, and financial stress during pregnancy. Racial inequality just makes that stress much worse and potentially FATAL. This is #TheDoubleTax.

The more Black people refuse to fight white folks’ battle the more white allies will continue to shed. Let the undoing happen.

When we see that our problem is so complicated and so all-encompassing in its intent and content, then we realize that it is no longer a Negro problem, confined only to the American Negro; that it is no longer an American problem, confined only to America, but it is a problem for humanity

I think a lot about how Black educators (myself included!) perpetuate the notion of β€˜Black excellence’ with Black students.

Black children do not need to be β€˜excellent’ to be treated like children. They shouldn’t need to be β€˜excellent’ to be treated with dignity, respect, and humanity.

Black people can't be racist in a society where most police, lawyers, and judges are White men, where most managers and supervisors are White men, where most teachers and professors are White. Where most governors, presidents, and mayors are White. Stop the lies. Pump your brakes
