I’ve been observing this troublesome slogan of “Latinxs for Black Lives” for a few days now. And I understand the importance of a politics of solidarity, but at the cost of continuing the erasure of Black Latinxs is deeply painful. We are more than a festival.
And this is a powerful statement. Using his power and influence in the media to uplift black women. Offering black actresses breakout roles in the industry is a great thing. Wish more would follow his example
no because the way it's looking at moment, the only time we'll see dark skin women cast is if it's a sterling k. brown project
Remember how much these institutions hate you.
“Walked away from multiple crashes but it ain’t wreck my status!” That is a BAR Frederick!
Shannon Sharpe has to pay $23M to a white Latina with a pancake ass but told his daughter she had a max budget of $30k for her wedding so she’d need to serve her guests spaghetti. Created generational wealth for somebody else family 🥴
Led to her having a baby she never wanted, abandoning the apartment she was proud to own, and giving up corporate law. Now, she’s a homeless lesbian interning in her 50s.
26 years ago, Miranda met Steve in 'Sex and the City'
New book. Recommended by one of my new favourite people.
I need new book recommendations. I want to get back into reading multiple books on the go. I’m starting to feel like I’m becoming dumber because I haven’t picked up any non fiction in a while. But I like the narrative and escapism of fiction.
Today would have been Emmett Till’s 84th birthday:
Remembering Emmett Till on his birthday Emmett Louis Till July 25, 1941 – August 28, 1955 #EmmettTill
#OnThisDay, Emmett Louis Till would have turned 84 years old. In 1955, he was 14 when he was kidnapped and killed for “inappropriately interacting with a white woman” in Mississippi. Discover how Emmett Till's death inspired a movement: s.si.edu/2ojo7wk #ANationsStory
Ain’t nobody died on my side of the internet except Malcolm - Jamal Warner.
Youth baseball coach intercepts ICE agents approaching kids: 'I'm willing to die' The coach said his "tough New York City kids" were scared enough by the interaction that he needed to get involved. nbcnews.com/news/nbcblk/yo…
Her standing firm on this piece being included in the show says so much about the woman she is. This moment speaks volumes on having integrity in a time where people clearly don’t and taking a stand against erasure and bigotry. One of one.
kwame Ture on how the black man was used to genocide the native Americans for the bourgeois white man when they should have fought with the native Americans against the white bourgeois
No one should send their kid to @Columbia — it’s an institution waltzing with fascists. My friends who are faculty of conscience are trying to get out & at least one succeeded. In addition to public firings/ resignations.
If I had a college-age kid I wouldn’t let them apply to Columbia University any more than I’d let them apply to, I dunno, Bob Jones University
🚨 New York City! I'm doing some shows. "How Being Black & Gay Made Me Better Than You!" is a one man comedic experience that chronicles how being Black and gay made me better than you. A very straight forward premise lol. Would love to see you there! Links for tickets below🤎✨
