As long as he’s aiming his invective at concepts associated with Black people he’s perfectly fine, once he strayed from anti-Black racism the mainstream press began to notice his bigotry.

I thought teaching college English during the era of Wikipedia was bad, but teaching it during the era of AI would have KILLED me.

Black rage is so profitable… especially on this social media landscape. The views, engagement, trending…. Just block and move on!! Do NOT engage disrespect… too close to begging for me!

Nat Turner was a terrorist. At least, that's what they'd expect the Black community to call him if it were today. He was born October 2, 1800....or 236 years ago today. And somehow they expected a man born enslaved to never want to rebel. To escape. To take revenge.
Four books with Nat Turner as the subject. Left to right, top to bottom.

1. Ten Black Writers Respond to William Styron's "Confessions."

2. The Confessions of Nat Turner by William Styron

3. Nat Turner's Slave Rebellion by Herbert Aptheker.

4. The Resurrection of Nat Turner. Part 1 by Sharon Ewell Foster

When I was in my teens and twenties, my male cousins and I agreed that if any guy hurt our female cousins, we were renting a car, kidnapping them, and "taking care of their ass" in the New Jersey woods. We were Uncle Harvey.

I initially moved to  Music, because of Joe Rogan, but I stay for the music quality. Still, I miss the selection I used to have on Spotify. WHY ISN'T JON BRION'S "I HEART HUCKABEES" SOUNDTRACK ON APPLE MUSIC, GODDAMNIT !!

I broke down and bought a CD copy of Jon Brion's "I Heart Huckabee's" soundtrack on eBay, because it isn't available on Apple Music. Now, I can't find my peripheral DVD drive, and I fear I tossed it in the garbage bin.
