I’m never going to STFU about how the same media that hectored Joe Biden out of office for a stark physical and mental decline is choosing not to put the same energy into Trump’s blatantly obvious decline both physically and mentally. The political media/punditry is absolute garbage.

THE SOUTH CAN’T HAVE IT BOTH WAYS You don’t get to profit off Black athletes on Saturday, then spend the rest of the week gerrymandering Black political power out of existence. We know what’s up! Hakeem Jeffries makes the connection perfectly.

Again… Everything awful that has happened in the world for the last 100 years stems from legalized racism in the US. From the Holocaust to Bibi’s awful bs…a majority of wyte Americans exporting their racism to the rest of the world caused it. Everything! www.politico.com/news/magazin...

The media upset that the monster they coddled and cultivated has finally started eating them. They wanted Trump back for the access, book deals, eyeballs and clicks only to watch ratings drop, books flop and Trump dog walking their asses anyway. Trash ass media getting exactly what they deserve.

If we're ever going to make the progress we claim we want to as a nation, then these are valid questions. It doesn't mean their speaking out on these issues is not appropriate. But is equally appropriate to ask why this never BEGINS at home.

According to the UN-drafted definition of "Genocide," the US has sustained a genocide against Black people. (As well as Indigenous people, anyone from any nation to our South, and so many others.) "We can't protest GOP because they might kill us" proves Populist "Leftists" know but don't care.

and then there's bad choice B, which is sending your child to an under-resourced but Blacker school where they may not have access to resources or a premium education, but will have more community and peer support and can go day by day without being made to feel lesser-than

I keep thinking about that. How as a Black parent you have choices, and all of them are bad. Send your kid to a predominantly-white school where they will have access to better academics and resources, but also face more racism and social isolation? That's bad choice A

I understand the author's intent and the daughter's agency. However, the framing in some parts concerns me. As someone who straddled the two worlds she discusses, it's complicated. There are trade-offs and variables, and you don't really know how things will pan out until they do.

There seems to be no clear solution as a Black parent. If you enroll your children in schools in more affluent areas, you run the risk of racial trauma. Low income schools have inequity issues and gaps that have long term consequences, especially in post secondary academia.

She should empathize with that too I believe. Because you cant just look down upon or think Black parents who send their kids to white schools are somehow less Black or self hating. Some ABSOLUTELY are but EVERY Black parent is navigating a lose-lose situation

And I know GCo has issues, being "the token" is something that isn't as prevalent here and other school systems in our area (APS, DCo,) and parts of the South (HTX, DMV) as it would be in NYC.

My parents had seen the neighborhood schools weren't the same 10 years later (yt flight) & being more middle class acclimated, I got teased my 1 year at our neighborhood school, but didn't in high school where there were more..."kids like me". It's a nuanced convo with no easy answers

They are setting up Black voters as scapegoats if AES doesn't win. Doing the same in Texas. Their goal is to chase Black voters out of the party - or at least claim that Black voters are no longer 'the base' of the party.
