One thing I love about this episode of #ReasonableDoubt episode is how the daughter is a not skinny darker skinned girl, darker than her parents with original black hair

It stood out to me bc a lot of times when I see daughters on black tv shows, they’re always skinny or light or wet and wavy hair

What I love most about this convo with one of my favorite people and keke partners @fsmith827.bsky.social is the ground we cover about college, from the political to personal. It’s thing I love most about #DemBlackMamas We don’t lose context. We always acknowledge the times we are in.

Nobody should ever have to be told “you will be next.” Injustice happening to any group is bad, and needs to be fixed regardless of whether or not it will spread to more privileged demographics.

Watching #WakandaForever and the Homegoing scene followed by the montage of Chadwick Boseman with the wind still guts me. Then Angela Bassett’s monologue (and shoulders) in that UN scene….wheeewwww…i forgot how FIRE the opening minutes of this film are! Sorrow and grief followed by power and grace.

MUST READ INDEED!

Phil Lewis @phillewis.bsky.social · Mar 26

Must read: The Guardian spoke to nine children whose parents were members of the Black Panther Party — and explored how their lives were forever changed

What happens when the United States declares war on your parents? The Black Panther cubs know

What happens when the US declares war on your parents? The Black Panther cubs know

The Black Panthers shook America awake before the party was eviscerated by the US government. Their children paid a steep price, but also emerged with unassailable pride and burning lessons for today

I’m listening to Bill Simmons talk to the executive producer of White Lotus and it is wild how difficult it is to bring a show to the screen

The history, resistance and future for Black directors

Although the first Black-directed film was produced in 1919, the modern industry still holds back Black filmmakers. Despite that, some of them feel optimistic for the future opportunities.
