These folks made amoral choice and ethical choice. They gotta live with it.
Really wrestling with showing grace and mercy to people that support 45.

Even I would say empathy is hard to show them.

Anyone else having that issue?

Waiting for white America to treat Black Americans fairly under the guise of democracy and "the constitution is the most perfect piece of human writing" is like putting money on weather predictions for snowfall in central NC.
Who you got? Local ABC or NBC?

They’ve had 250 years to make this decision. And they chose the bullshit damn near every time
Time.
Turn this up!!!!
White people can end this anytime they want to.

Period.

Chemistry ain’t gonna help you when you gotta guard Steph. - Kevin Durant in the Netflix joint about the event USA basketball in the Paris Olympics.

When you know the power of your village…

Addendum: apply this to the idea of a one day boycott.

The American government is full of pussy ass, bitch made, fuck boys. Eugenics programs never take out the right targets, I swear...

If students can submit work done by AI, can I use AI to grade it?

Lemme tell you what…frump’s second term just shows you that every couple of years, whiteness gotta white.

Today marks the anniversary of that white lady getting shot in the face at the Capitol Building. Today also marks the day that police forces demonstrated they can show restraint in using force because more than just that lady should have been shot in the face.

As we head into Christmas and the New Year, remember, America doesn’t want you unless you play ball they way they want you to play ball. And that way will almost always be disadvantageous to colored people.

Bourbon. As a uniquely American liquor, I can taste the racism in it.
Tequila. Although ion really wonder about others drinking it. We all like what we like. I prefer to stick to brown
To the people that drink alcohol, what kind of alcohol do you refuse to drink and wonder how people actually drink it?

Watching Friday in the theaters on opening weekend. Close second? Austin powers.
What is the most fun you ever had at the movie theater?

Get Out for me.

“Stop being such dicks to Black folk.”
If we could send back any amount of written documents back to 1950, but nothing else, what technologies could we bootstrap faster? Lithium-ion batteries? Solar PV? Transistors? Photolithography?

Make adultery a criminal offense. Make divorce illegal.
This is controversial, it IS extreme, and we will fight this tooth and nail.

Fuck this bullshit.

Can anyone direct me to higher Ed folks that specialize in Black male student success?

Can someone connect me with African American Literary Scholars? Some Afrofuturism? Some Postcolonial? Caribbean Literature and theory?

What I like about this post is that it captures the totality of US history, not just trumps rise and re-election.

I’ve long held that I can’t undergo chemo to cure their cancer.
How America treats us is about this country's foundations, it ain't about us.
Slavery is their shame, not ours.
Jim Crow is their cruelty and fear, not ours.
And so is what's happening right now.
They FEAR us...not bc we're thugs and criminals, but bc they're cruel and cowardly.
