"These white women made it. I should have made it also, but because of my color and the racial situation, it just wasn't possible...What Dr. Locke said caused me to turn to the black subject..."

Lois Maïlou Jones was born in Boston OTD in 1905. She lived and worked here at her Little Paris Studio.

I feel like deep down in our heart of hearts, we always knew Thanksgiving was a bullshit ass holiday.

Ever heard any “Thanksgiving music”? People getting into “Thanksgiving spirit?”?
Is Die Hard a Thanksgiving movie? Nah, fuck that shit.

This is the context you have to keep in mind when you see these people hyperventilating about addressing this system. This is what they are demanding we preserve literally at any and every cost.

"And so it wasn’t just like a playful or nonsense song. It was one that actually reflected something cultural and close to his heart and in his upbringing...And of course were the first and really the only African people to overthrow their oppressors."

I don't know what goes on in conservative households, not my lifestyle but I definitely get my share of Jasmine Crockett Facebook videos as if she wasn't issuing anti-communist statements earlier this year.

TOMORROW! Witness the battle of champions as #3 seed, De La Soul, 3 FEET HIGH AND RISING takes on #1 seed, Pixies, DOOLITTLE to determine once and for all The Best Album of 1989! Vote here when the match begins at 11am CST!
On a brown background is a monotone photo of a small monkey. The monkey has a halo and is surrounded by three numbers: 5,6 and 7. The picture of the monkey has a green outline of a box around it, and within that box are green lines that make a bunch of connected shapes: squares, rectangles, circles, triangles, stars, trapezoids. etc. Black and white photos of three young Black men, arranged in a circle as if you are on the ground and they are looking down at you from above. The background is very bright yellow. There are hand drawn flower shapes in blue and orange arranged around them.

“Measuring progress through increased Black representation and the perception of integration has warped our understanding of true progress.”
While U.S. lawmakers continue to promote the idea of the American Dream, the reality for Black Americans, as a whole, has the makings of a nightmare. Demanding that radical solutions be presented to us to remedy hundreds of years of oppression is not asking for a handout or a favor. It's the very bare minimum of what we're owed. Measuring progress through increased Black representation and the perception of integration has warped our understanding of true progress.

“They get all the Negro vote, and after they get it, the Negro gets nothing in return. All they did when they got to Washington was give a few big Negroes big jobs.” -el-Hajj Malik el-Shabazz aka Malcom X
So it's time in 1964 to wake up. And when you see them coming up with that kind of conspiracy, let them know your eyes are open. And let them know you -- something else that's wide open too. It's got to be the ballot or the bullet. The ballot or the bullet. If you're afraid to use an expression like that, you should get on out of the country; you should get back in the cotton patch; you should get back in the alley. They get all the Negro vote, and after they get it, the Negro gets nothing in return. All they did when they got to Washington was give a few big Negroes big jobs. Those big Negroes didn't need big jobs, they already had jobs. That's camouflage, that's trickery, that's treachery, window-dressing. I'm not trying to knock out the Democrats for the Republicans. We'll get to them in a minute. But it is true; you put the Democrats first and the Democrats put you last. Look at it the way it is. What alibis do they use, since they control Congress and the Senate? What alibi do they use when you and I ask, "Well, when are you going to keep your promise?" They blame the Dixiecrats. What is a Dixiecrat? A Democrat. A Dixiecrat is nothing but a Democrat in disguise. The titular head of the Democrats is also the head of the Dixiecrats, because the Dixiecrats are a part of the Democratic Party. The Democrats have never kicked the Dixiecrats out of the party. The Dixiecrats bolted themselves once, but the Democrats didn't put them out. Imagine, these lowdown Southern segregationists put the Northern Democrats down. But the Northern Democrats have never put the Dixiecrats down. No, look at that thing the way it is. They have got a con game going on, a political con game, and you and I are in the middle. It's time for you and me to wake up and start looking at it like it is, and trying to understand it like it is; and then we can deal with it like it is.

"But Black people fall for that same argument, and they go around talking about law breakers. We did not make the laws in this country. We are neither morally nor legally confined to those laws. Those laws that keep them up, keep us down. We got to begin to understand that." Free Jamil Al-Amin

An ICE agent was caught removing a sign marking an ICE kidnapping in DC last week! Do we think he did it out of anger, embarrassment, or most appropriately shame? If you think what you’re doing is right, why are you trying to hide the evidence? 👀

Black people had to fight in the courts for a century after slavery to get our basic rights in America. White people simply decided “DEI is racist” and with a snap of a finger all the equity programs are gone. Nobody had to go to court,nobody had to prove disparate impact… just vibes.
