Trigger Warning: This post references a 400 year racial slur that has been used to dehumanize Black people. It also discusses Tourette syndrome and Coprolalia. If a social media post can provide this clarity, a global broadcaster on a 2 hour programming delay certainly could have. CC:BAFTA and BBC.
To be Black is to know that Grace will be demanded of you before accountability ever is.
And that’s exactly what played out on the BAFTA stage.

Charlie Kirk calls for his audience to post bail for Pelosi attacker: "If some amazing patriot out there in San Francisco or the Bay Area wants to really be a midterm hero, someone should go and bail this guy out...Bail him out and then go ask him some questions"

"He has a family" well they would be free from a monster who said if his little daughter, basically a kid, was raped and got pregnant he would not let her abort it.

Charlie Kirk was a neo Nazi. And I do not feel bad for neo Nazis. He was a victim of his own advocacy for a lack of gun control. He advocated for violence against marginalized people for the advancement of white evangelical Christianity and white supremacy.

This mindset puts the individual’s capital over the greater community’s needs. We still plan/need to invest, support, and fund Black businesses but why does it need to be through corporations that have told us blatantly they do not support us?
🚨 #Tabithabrown speaks on calls to boycott #Target after they cancel their #DEI initiatives that allowed many Black businesses to gain access to shelf space after the 2020 #Georgefloyd uprisings.

Black people have literally been enslaved, dehumanized, bred like cattle, built our communities up from NOTHING (multiple times) only to be brutalized, have our businesses and homes burned to the ground and property stolen by the government. WE are the most economically anxious motherfuckers up in this bitch. So miss me with the bullshit.

The challenge, after a loss, is to learn something *new.* Most people aren't doing that right now. They're taking in information and trying to fit that within their prevailing world view.
The NEW thing I'm learning is: People do not and will not vote for harm mitigation...

The “They’re both the same!” political contortionists are about to endure a 4 year long seminar on how, exactly, the two candidates were not the same.

What the twitter left doesn’t seem to understand is, this country thinks we’re out of our fucking mind.
47% of voters: Kamala is TOO liberal, 9% not liberal enough
49% of voters: Trump is “not too far either way” 32% too conservative

Black Americans vote like they vote not because they align with every single Democratic policy but because they understand this country with a clarity that can be challenging for people who have not had to live under apartheid in the U.S., who’ve never known what it’s like NOT to be able to cast a ballot, not to have rights of citizenship, not to be protected by this nation’s laws. Black Americans know American fascism because they lived under it — and that understanding overcomes any other policy choices that they might otherwise vote on. Black people uniquely understand this nation, and how awful it can get.

And let me say something to Black women in particular who once again held ranks without so much as a thank you:
Don’t let anyone shame you into looking out for yourself going forward. This is the outcome America wanted, let them have it.
Don’t save them from a goddamned thing.

Things I do actually think can happen in 4 yrs:
War on birth control and IVF following war on abortion
Medicare is unsafe
Nothing being put in place to help you buy that car, own that house
LGBTQ+ rights getting stripped
Dept. of education being completely wrecked

Want an example of a broken system? Florida DIDN’T “reject” the proposal to include a right to abortion in the constitution — they voted 58.2% in favor of abortion rights. But it needed 60% to pass, so it failed WITH A MAJORITY.
Can’t imagine what Florida women must be thinking.
