That’s the thing with the Black geniuses of the Jim Crow era. They had a LACK of resources and were still inventing WORLD CHANGING things that we still use today. We literally make ANYTHING out of less than NOTHING.
I could never harbor shame about any part of being Black. Ever.

One thing about having worked in corporate America, I am going to save my emails. Someone at work is playing the fool, and now I gotta show receipts.

I took the French driving test and got my license on the first try. That shit was the hardest thing I had ever done. Speaking French wasn't even the hard part.

As Black History Month begins, we honor the generations of Black New Yorkers who built this city into the “gorgeous mosaic” we call home.
Today, we reflect on the words of Mayor David Dinkins: our city’s first Black mayor (and a democratic socialist!).

One Samuel Godbee in Burke Country placed a notice in the Augusta Chronicle. A bounty for the return of a man who escaped enslavement. What's wild to me is I have never met a white Godbee. Everyone of them in the Augusta area come from Burke County.

At this point of my reading, the state of Georgia is just shy of being seventy years old. There was a huge fire, destroying 2/3 of Savannah. A meeting is called "in the Church in Augusta..." I just cannot imagine only one church there.

Gawker was sued out of existence by billionaires who didn't want to be investigated by really good journalists who had the perfect rolodexes to get dirt on a pervert cabal and maybe upend their whole new world order. It isn't a scandal sheet you dope.
Gawker is dead because it did not color inside the lines of the Constitution while doing the things that made people want Gawker dead. 🤷♂️ Lots of other scandal sheets are still around because they did that better.

Epstein being the Forrest Gump of pedophile billionaires makes sense when you consider that he had enough money to do whatever he felt like, for decades without consequence, 24/7.
*Every* billionaire could do the exact same thing if they felt like it.
Each is a ticking time bomb.

Looking at these names, one wonders who among those at that level of wealth and power isn't in the files. A prison might not be big enough to hold them.

I get tired of saying it, but I’ll say it again: the nature of oppression in America is that they workshop it first on Black, Latino, Asian & Native people.
But it is always, in the end, coming for everyone.
