Learning to unlearn.
Facts! As a people, we had our original ethnicities stolen and were given a race instead as a poor replacement. The “Strict-Scrutiny” doctrine jeopardizes all remedial laws meant to ameliorate the status of Freedmen. Thurgood Marshall:
Saying this sincerely, but that’s what happens when you threaten people and their political career. Democrats just have zero spine. Obama let some dude named Joe Lieberman take away the public option in the ACA without a fight. Party of pussies.
Biden tried to pass legislation and Democrats killed that shit…Trump want to pass legislation, not only will they fall in line but they will meet the deadline smh
Every single day someone is trying to convince me that self preservation is something negative when Black Americans practice it.
You said that 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I agree with you. No major movement survived it. The tobacco free moment is the only exception. But they had billions in funding and a ‘backbone campaign’ coalition of major health organizations that created a national front. That safety net let them survive their own…
“Soulaan isn’t backed by history” “It’s an identity crisis” “That term has no relevance” Translation: “This new identity threatens the dominance of the one I’m emotionally invested in.”
People mad at Soulaan but it’s actually closer to decolonization than remixing names we were given under oppression. Y’all not bigger than the program, the youth, or the future. I really didn’t know it was this many Soulaan haters.

Every Black American should read this scholarship. Every group that comes here engages in a selfish, ethnic project to increase their status, access to resources, distance themselves from BAs and assimilate to whiteness. It also explains our various name changes.
We’re in a very special time. You can make all of your dreams come true if you have faith.
I need to read this.
Actually, African American was first promoted in 1988 by Ramona H. Edelin, president of the National Urban Coalition, at a meeting of Black leaders in Chicago, although the Reverend Jesse Jackson is given credit for leading the drive for wide acceptance of the term. Vilna goes…
Just finished this book this weekend, and man, when I tell you this broke down so much about identity and how others pushed for a pathway to whiteness over collaboration with us. Hence, we are in the predicament we are in now.

We need more Charles Hamilton Houstons and no more Greg Carrs. Houston was the dean of Howard Law in 1930. He dedicated himself to creating an army of Blk American lawyers to bring down segregation. He took interest in one student in particular. Thurgood Marshall was his star.…
What’s more telling is that Black Americans aren’t trying to be presidents of their orgs… But they try to be leaders of our efforts.
Remember that convo about “lock up all the youth” in the DMV when crime was crazy and shorty swore increased funding for youth centers and programs wasn’t the answer?
Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott invested in 42 summer youth camps, 29 literacy programs, extended the rec center hours to 11 p.m. planned block parties, opened the pools for safe fun, and opened several schools up for summer classes… Crime is down 62%. Imagine that.
The ship is sinking y’all. Where is our sense of urgency?
Common starts break dancing mid-performance.
I don’t know who I can’t stand more, Progressives who are anti-reparations or these fake ass revolutionary nggas.
Nigga whites never considered us American what don’t you slo mfs understand?!?! You are not American 😂😂😂 and never will be
Now that the bill for the devil’s bargain many Latino leaders made with white supremacy has come due, their demands for solidarity from Black America fall flat when Latino anti-Blackness goes ignored. My New Article: Black America Owes You NOTHING. torrainewalker.substack.com/p/black-americ…
