Just found out about a shelved project by Boondocks creator Aaron McGruder and producer Will Packard for Amazon that was this exact premise: ceding Southern states to Black americans as reparations. I would've paid real money to see that.

"If you don't know what happened behind you, you've no idea of what is happening around you." - James Baldwin What's happening today... Happened before.... And when you don't know, you'll think what's happening around you is new. It's not. #BlueSky #BlackSky #KnowYourHistory #AmericanHistory

I just learned what a baby letter is in regards to credit. Apparently, 52 years ago, women had to write a letter to a bank ensuring they wouldn't have a baby during the duration of a loan period. This is what conservatives want to return to. Full control of marginalized bodies.

When product design used to be unique.

They don’t care. Data is no match for white supremacy (inferiority). Evidence never matters. If anything, it makes them dig their heels in more.

In order to write an article for an old job, I had pasta at a strip club with members of the Wu Tang Clan. Raekwon and I became cool, and I was invited to his birthday party the next year.

1/? When people use the term "identity politics" what they really mean is "We need Black people to stop talking about fairness and equality". They mean: "We need Black people to step back". It is targeted at Black people and Black people only.

Sephora refs need to see me outside #unrivaled

If you're touting the Mamdani coalition today, please learn from what Mamdani did after he lost the Black vote in the NYC primary. He didn't blame Black voters or discount them. He courted the Black vote, showed up, *apologized when he messed up.* That's a way forward. www.aol.com/articles/nyc...

I need yall to understand that if Black americans were allowed to have our own geographical nation, we would be 45 million strong, with a deep legacy of radical politics and queer/trans rights, agricultural mastery, cultural & athletic dominance, and stable economies led by matriarchal families.

By the time, MAGA and the white leftist get through with Black politicians, we will be lucky if we have half the representation in Congress we have now. These are hard fought for seats with blood and deaths. Anyone else's problems cannot be our concern. We need to be selfish at this point.

That schism started between 1865–1877 if we're being honest. This country has never forgotten how approx 2000 Black american politicians emerged and began to effectively govern actoss this nation immediately after slavery was legally abolished. Obama was just a reminder for them.

All I know is Black people aren’t the problem.

As I've been saying for several years, anyone telling Black people to leave a country they built and have an UNSHAKABLE claim to, is selling you something. This been a cottage industry. Creator is speaking on DR but the dynamics apply in many places.

windows 13 will not be an operating system it will be a curse that must be lifted

What we're seeing in Texas is simply whiteness at work: a lesser qualified white dem candidate, an antiblack white and latino voter base, Black voter suppression, and suspicious tactics to reduce voter clarity.

What I also love about Industry is that its just about the impact of childhood trauma. Thats it. Its the literal best ad for consistent, rigorous therapy.

We're losing so many baddies to ozempic and its troubling my spirit

Industry season 4 finale rattled me to my absolute core. It's genuinely one of the most heartbreaking episodes I've ever seen.

Unrivaled tonight was just like pride. I met up with a friend who ran into a friend who ran into a friend who ran into a friend who ran into...

I really wanted Breeze, esp Paige and Rickea, to advance but I also loved seeing Stewie ball out. Ultimately I'm feeling deeply conflicted about the game #unrivaled

Malonga is a PROBLEM #unrivaled

Breeze off to an amazing start #unrivaled

Phantom for the win!!! #Unrivaled

Something special about seeing Plum hit that game winning shot in Barclays #unrivaled

This unfortunately happens in abusive queer relationships as well. If anyone follows women's basketball well, Sedona of TCU did this to her ex gf in a desert in Mexico.

The frenzy around women's basketball continues with or without the wnba. Unrivaled Brooklyn is tonight and I've seen folks say they took the whole day off and lines for local wnba bars are down the block mid-day.

I see now why my dad had us down at the track as kids on weekends. One of my many cousins just beat Noah Lyles at a usatf event. I was on tiktok just now like hold on 🧐

These new ilovemakonnen tracks sound like summer 2026 on a blanket in the park with a beautiful woman who brought shrooms

I might have to catch a flight for that Uconn v LSU women's game. It's going to be vicious

I cannot do another social media app for a long time. Recently, I bought some stamps and I'm planning to pick out some nice stationary. I will be sending letters if all else fails.

Jayme Lawson from Sinners hit the nail on the head and said how I felt with the whole BAFTAs situation.

I'm kinda sad that Rose lost but super excited to see Breeze v Mist in Brooklyn #unrivaled

Closing out Black History Month with this song.... ❤️🖤💚

Lowkey want Vinyl to win just for TSpoon #unrivaled

Talmbout we all post AI. No the fuck WE don’t. Sister get a grip.

Black laughter is healing.

Will the bubble pop drown us all?

This is a "no" to whiteness but the world is insistent on its proliferation so

I love our people. I showed up to an event 30 mins late and they informed me that I was very early but they had food lmfaoooo

Well, it was either world war three or letting black people have jobs, so I see why people just went with the world war

They sound like Ned Stark dealing with Cersei & them.

Whatever the family is paid is likely not enough. Her cells will be forced to live on through this theft for as long as humans exist on earth, her full body never knowing peace. The course of humanity, billions, owe her a great debt. This, too, is the afterlife of slavery.

i’m tired of every paper (even critical ones) on societal impact of AI starting by both-siding the “benefits” and risks/harms of AI in academia, i would like us to arrive at a collective reckoning that we don’t need to play both sides. it's totally legit to clearly state just the harms. period

You are not special everyone is in love with her!!!
