Exactly.

People love to say “listen to Black women” until a Black woman encourages people to challenge the system.

It’s telling that the cover of the album isn’t a picture of D’Angelo himself. It’s a scanned frame of 16mm footage filmed at the Afropunk Festival in 2014 that pictures the crowd raising their hands in protest at the killing of Michael Brown.

What D’Angelo said Black Messiah means. It came out at the end of 2014 and it was so needed.

Article (Nolan Feeney; TIME) excerpt reads: “Black Messiah is a hell of a name for an album. It can be misunderstood. Many will think it's about religion. Some will jump to the conclusion that I'm calling myself a Black Messiah. For me, the title is about all of us. It's about the world. It's about an idea we can all aspire to. We should all aspire to be a Black Messiah.

It's about people rising up in Ferguson and in Egypt and in Occupy Wall Street and in every place where a community has had enough and decides to make change happen, D'Angelo writes in a statement about the album It's not about praising one charismatic leader but celebrating thousands of them. Not every song on this album is politically charged (though many are), but calling this album Black Messiah creates a landscape there these songs can live to the fullest. Black Messiah is not one man. It's a feeling that, collectively, we are all that leader.”

“D’Angelo’s First Album in 14 Years Is Finally Here, and It’s Surprisingly Timely” via TIME.

Just watched another abduction/assault video set in my city, of someone who is Black like me, and I'm struck by the differences between Fall 2020 and Fall 2025.

Y'all's gaslighting is way too bold considering how hard y'all fell off between 2021 and 2024.

I just don’t understand this stuff for something like this. You don’t fucking know what you want to eat? What you’ve been eating? How much you been buying? At some point, people aren’t going to bother to do anything that uses their brains and this is how AI will take us over. 🤣

No. Pretty sure it already happened, anyway, and I don’t assume that everybody wants my titties or me, lol.

White people are relearning the concept of intimate community care and relationships due to the Fed cuts.
Mind you this concept of fed workers helping each other wasn’t news when mostly Black women were getting fired and “offered” early retirement.

If we aren’t in a relationship, what am I being faithful to, exactly?

Snack Queen @auntiebaecc.blacksky.app · 1d

How many of you are staying faithful to a person you're not in a relationship with?
