This is so typical of black women.
I’ll never accept the hate towards them.

Right after it becomes more common among black people than white people.

Poison them.

We need to create bots that aggressively boost the fakest looking AI content and argues about it endlessly but always insert a keyword into the posts. The AIs learn that the fake shit drives more engagement and run with it, and the only thing that ever engages with them are bots.

Them: "Repost with a picture of a fine black woman, a fine black man, a fine latina between 18 and 24, and a piano player with the correct number of fingers."

This is the EXACT reason so many people have the "We don't talk politics at the table" rule. Going on three generations of white folks trying to manage a truce with their racist/segregationist uncles and parents.

You know they don’t want to be uncomfortable at Thanksgiving.

Good people need to start outing their ICE family members, neighbors, and community members.

They need to be made into pariahs in the places decent Americans gather.

I almost wrote "white" too but I remembered a lot of black baptist churches fall into that same pattern but with the added fuckery of tithing.

You mean actually go out and DO stuff?

Naw, man. That's works. Christians are sanctified by FAITH, lest any man should boast. A REAL Christian would have faith that GOD will do all the healing and welcoming and giving. Thoughts and prayers and thoughts and prayers.

Pritzker should be held responsible for the police nominally under his control; that being said, this is going to be a problem for every politician you try to sell us on as a savior. Because everyone of them, and many of their supporters, refuses to actually confront what the police are doing.

The heart surgeon who directly called the CEO to complain that the IT department didn't fix his office computer and demanded we drop everything and do it immediately.

There was nothing wrong with it. He'd accidentally unplugged one of his monitors.

All the time I think about how the missionaries that first arrived on Hawaii thought the natives were lazy because they only ever did enough work to feed themselves and their family. They spent the most of the day surfing, dancing and goofing off like a bunch of people living in a tropical paradise.

Out of curiosity because I was literally JUST thinking about this...

What would you consider white discourse? What would you consider Black discourse?

A.K. Allen @akallen.blacksky.app · 12h

Sure, but if you ask an American Evangelical, Christ is a KING who must be OBEYED with absolute devotion. A lot of them will tell you that liberation theology is "works based salvation" and therefore Satanic. Something something "faith not works."

Liberation theology is borderline heretical for American protestants.

Wasn't that kind of a major plot point of the actual story, tho? That some of the people who thought they were on the right wide were full of it?

Defunding and demilitarizing the police -- which INCLUDES ICE -- would not have made it easier to "take over the place."

You're literally just saying "We couldn't defund the police because somebody would have funded them!"
