So if you really want to better life for Black people in the US, direct your posts at your racist peers and don’t worry about how, why, when and what we communicate within our own community

There is no historical precedence unless you talking about Black Planet and that went pretty well. It’s so funny you have SO MUCH to say on a segmented area of sm, but I see NOT ONE post from you about that white town in AR. So it’s funny you have historical facts about SM, but not sundown towns 🤔

Like as someone (and Black people as a group) who has been calling things early, loudly and correctly, ion think we need your help or input on what *WE* do as a community. You don’t listen to us anyway, so why do you need access? You don’t listen to us obviously *gestures at posts*

And as usual, you think your opinion should hold weight merely bc you’re white. Now bc you made that comment, we’re arguing with someone w no experience telling us that they know better and AGAIN we have to waste time proving we know what we’re talking about

Because it’s paternalistic and condescending to say you think it’s a mistake. You have no idea what you’re talking about and you decided you know better than us what we need and what’s good for us. You don’t even capitalize Black, but you know what’s going on over here?! Like dude… 😂😂😂

WE ARE TALKING ABOUT A SEGMENTED AREA ON SOCIAL MEDIA. What are you going on about, ‘we have data’? Black people said we want this area online to talk to just each other and you apparently have a huge problem with that and you need to examine why…

And how, pray tell, do you know what’s good for Black people? We need space to talk and not have to deal with racism, culture vulture… and paternalistic yet simultaneously racist ppl under our post telling us what is and is not good for us. Instead of support for Rudy, ppl are wasting time with you

Guys, every person you see on Fox News in a mask is just Robert O'Neill, retired Navy Seal and occasional Fox News contributor. He's the former Antifa, former Gazan, former gang member. His eyes are very unique.

I don’t want to talk about this because I don’t want to be a target

But on just a human decency level the person tirelessly deleting Gazans just permabanned the guy who uses his thousands strong platform to boost the fundraisers of literally anyone who needs money or mutual aid every single Friday

@jay.bsky.team Remember when you and your team took advantage of our disdain for the other app to market Bluesky as a safe space for multiple groups, including marginalized ones? What happened to that? I’m curious to know since you’re now silencing people who call you out.

Let me get this straight: Link, a Black user, got banned for calling out the Bluesky CEO for following a racist. That’s not a good look, especially given Bluesky’s historical treatment of Black users here on bluesky.
