I hope folks understand how silly it is to say someone's identity gives them infallible expertise. There are dummies in every identity combination you can string together.

I hate how lost so many of our people are. Brave Black people laid down their lives so we wouldn't have to live in ignorance but many choose to remain there.

Both sentiments from Jackson and Johnson aren't

too different from those expressed by a Black bystander in the viral video of the feds placing a Black man in a chokehold in Chicago's East Garfield Park neighborhood: "Y'all supposed to be out here choking Mexicans," he said.

Jackson described the happiness he felt when he

first heard U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) was coming to Chicago. He said he felt that the migrants were "slowly taking over" South Shore and said the building eventually had majority immigrant occupants.

After the South Shore raid, Jackson said his feelings have changed because ICE "had mercy for nobody."

So they deleted this version of the song post release on streaming and replaced it with the original version with the Talal Maddah sample and well that’s super annoying.

Remind me who the antisemites are?

“I said I was Jewish. They ripped me by the ear and forced me to bend down and stare at the flag of the State of Israel for Ben-Gavir to come and have a personal one-on-one and call me a terrorist to my face. Over the coming hours, we were strip-surged, zip-tied, blindfolded..”

I have no real concern about the sanctity of elections - I think being able to weigh s company down with baseless lawsuits until your political movement takes control of all it's machinery (literally) is a bad thing
