Fat Joe was on “What’s Luv” w/ Ashanti talking bout “slow down, baby…let you know from the gate, I don’t go down, lady.” So you’ll eat everything else but won’t eat that? Ok.

One of the things the Nazis did when coming to power was push propaganda that Jews were criminals and prone to violence by focusing on crime committed by Jews or fabricating crime they falsely attributed to Jews. The last 36 hours on X has been this on a massive scale against trans people.

Twenty years ago today, Hurricane Katrina made landfall in New Orleans. At approximately 5:00 AM, the levees broke, flooding 80% of our city. As a result, an estimated 1400 people lost their lives, and hundreds of thousands lost their homes. Over half of the victims were Black.

You know what’s actually terrifying af? Becoming famous. The idea that one day, you stop belonging to yourself. You walk into a room and the story’s already been written sometimes by strangers, sometimes by people who barely knew you. you don’t get to introduce yourself anymore.

idk - branding humans like cattle, chaining them to dead bodies, feeding them to each other, filling them with gunpowder then blowing them up, burying them alive for insects to eat -- it being so bad mothers killed their children and people jumped from ships to drown seems, like, super bad dude
BRANDING BLACKNESS

BIOMETRIC TECHNOLOGY AND THE SURVEILLANCE OF BLACKNESS

Two days before embarkation, the head of every male and female is neatly shaved; and if the cargo belongs to several owners, each mans brand is im¬ pressed on the body of his respective negro. This operation is performed with pieces of silver wire, or small irons fashioned into the merchant s initials.

—Theodore canot, Memoirs of a Slave Trader

We have been branded by Cartesian philosophy.

—aime cesaire, Discourse on Colonialism

Let’s face it. I am a marked woman, but not everybody knows my name.

You can find Wilson Chinn on eBay.com or other online auction sites for sale among antebellum ephemera. Wilson Chinn’s portrait was taken around 1863 by Myron H. Kimball, a photographer with an interest in da¬ guerreotype and a correspondent with the Philadelphia Enquirer during New York’s 1853 World’s Fair. Kimball also served as an official photogra¬ pher for the Freedman’s Bureau. In this particular portrait, a chain is tied around Chinn’s ankle and various tools of torture lie at his feet: a paddle, a leg iron, a metal prodding device. The caption below the image reads, “exhibiting Instruments of Torture used to punish slaves.” The carte de visite (figure 3.1) captures Wilson Chinn’s stare at the camera. Particularly striking is the “longhorn,” or pronged metal collar, fastened around Chinn’s neck. An 1862 copy of Harper’s Weekly describes this torture device as con¬ sisting of three metal prongs, “each two feet in length, with a ring on the end,” to which would be attached a chain to “secure the victim beyond all

is slaves to feed the others with the flesh. They died not
only from the regime but from grief and rage and despair.
They undertook vast hunger strikes; undid their chains
and hurled themselves on the crew in futile attempts at
insurrection. What could these inland tribesmen do on the
open sea, in a complicated sailing vessel? To brighten their
spirits it became the custom to have them up on the deck
once a day and force them to dance. Some took the oppor
tunity to jump overboard, uttering cries of triumph as they
cleared the vessel and disappeared below the surface.
Fear of their cargo bred a savage cruelty in the crew.
One captain, to strike terror into the rest, killed a slave and
dividing heart, liver and entrails into 300 pieces made each
of the slaves eat one, threatening those who refused with
the same torture .• Such incidents were not rare. Given the
circumstances such things were (and are) inevitable. Nor
did the system spare the slavers. Every year one-fifth of all
who took part in the Mrican trade died.
All America and the West Indies took slaves. When
the ship reached the harbour. the cargo came up on deck
to be bought. The purchasers examined them for defects.
looked at the teeth, pinched the skin, sometimes tasted the
perspiration to see if the slave's blood was pure and his
health as good as his appearance. Some of the women af
fected a curiosity, the indulgence of which, with a horse,
would have caused them to be kicked 20 yards across the
deck. But the slave had to stand it. Then in order to restore
the dignity which might have been lost by too intimate an
examination, the purchaser spat in the face of the slave.
Having become the property of his owner, he was branded
on both sides of the breast with a hot iron. His duties were
explained to him by an interpreter, and a priest instructed
him in the first principles of Christianity.1he massacre of the whites was a tragedy; not for the
whites. For these old slave-owners, those who burnt a little
powder in the arse of a Negro, who buried him alive for
insects to eat, who were well treated by Toussaint, and
who, as soon as they got the chance, began their old cruel
ties again; for these there is no need to waste one tear or
one drop of ink. The tragedy was for the blacks and the
Mulattoes. It was not policy but revenge, and revenge has
no place in politics. The whites were no longer to be feared,
and such purposeless massacres degrade and brutalise a
population, especially one which was just beginning as a
nation and had had so bitter a past. The people did not
want it--all the wanted was freedom. and independence
