If y'all non-Brazilians want to know after that @lastweektonight.com segment, we're getting in a *checks notes* Inter-Christian Holy War where the Roman Catholic Church is on the democratic, freedom-defending side against evangelicals/protestants. I am not either joking nor being too hyperbolic.

I thoroughly believe growing up in pre-Civil Rights/Jim Crow America and during the birth of Customer Service culture set up a lot of older ⚪️ folks to just… not perceive employees as real people. Their entitlement can reach pathological levels and they perceive it as their rightful due.

"Why can't we be like France when they protest?!" Because you spent decades conflating riots with violent/terrorism and not "the language of the unheard" like MLKjr said. You quote him like you quote the bible, always ignoring what conflicts with your bullshit.

This. Coming from a generation where the general US population was downright hostile to anyone who was just labeled Queer, LGBTQ people have been, are, and always be present in number. But when you have governments that support hostility towards our community, naturally we won’t be public with it.

One thing I dislike about the FBA movement is the weird slide into xenophobia. You can't throw stuff around and expect it to not hit people you care about (and who care bout you) too. I believe if you care about Black Americans, you move with us in mind, you are family even if you're not from Us.

"We [...] have over-valorized romantic love, that no matter how horrible and miserable your life has been as a kid or as a teenager, someday you're gonna find this love, and it's going to come into your life and it's gonna change all of that. And many of us found that that was not so." - bell hooks

Everything is about racism. Every damn thing! And it could be about nothing if most white people wanted it to be, but most white people don’t want to recognize their racism & fight to uphold it.

Genocide is a policy carried out by the hands of many, tolerted by many more. Media always plays a role in producing the pretexts for the harm to come. Bullets hurt worse than words, but words are why the bullets fly in the first place. bsky.app/profile/chad...

This right here. The best way for us is to get some life insurance policies. We aren't going to be billionaires or millionaires. The easiest way is getting a life insurance policy. That way you have some sonic rings pop out when you go. My friend is a Black financial planner. I'll link him to…

The first 3 minutes of the video is wild. It's these kinds of things being said (for GENERATIONS mind you, this been going on for decades) that made Black Americans start to truly coalesce. For too long white supremacy sent this message out that USA was a white ethnostate and we're trash in it…

“American citizens” are mostly whites who have been brainwashed into thinking the ability to pay $$ at a damn medical provider is part of what it means to be successful in America. They don’t want affordable healthcare like every other nation because Black Americans would benefit—a nonstarter.

I'm all for racial unity, while respecting each other's separate ethnicities. When you remove Black American ethnicity and insist they "know where they come from" you run headlong into white-supremacist dehumanization. Avoid these things so we can all ACTUALLY progress.

Lets be real... Black people are everywhere. Carribean people are Black. There is such a thing as white Jamaicans. Like, Whiteness and Blackness exist in many contexts. One thing we have to do is NOT flatten Blackness into one category. Blackness as a construct is a thing, but bc the US is NOT...
