This underscores my point that many White audiences struggle to engage with Black media, often dismissing it as unrelatable, while positioning White media as universal and Black media as niche..
The @washingtonpost fired one of their most brilliant journalists, Karen Attiah, for posting a white supremacist anti-Black QUOTE by an anti-Black white supremacist. Simply reporting Charlie Kirk’s own words got a reporter fired. This is life right now in the land of the free.
very public lynchings of Black persons by entire white Christian communities were once the "public stonings" of America. assuming that you knew this? they were commemorated by photographs, postcards. lynch mobs smiled, waved, were thrilled to be "bonded." unless T***p has removed these records, do the research. read Percival Everett's award-winning "The Trees."
Black girls are the fastest-growing population in the juvenile justice system, largely due to racist school policies that over-police their behavior. Take action to support the PUSHOUT Act & ensure Black girls have access to safe & affirming schools: https://t.co/YxJTBrPsld

21-Year-Old Demartravion "Trey" Reed DISCOVERED At 7AM Near Pickleball Courts – Body BEATEN, ARMS & NECK BROKEN and He was Taken For Autopsy, But Why So QUICK To RULE OUT MURDER? Is This ANOTHER COVER-UP In The DEEP SOUTH?
THOUGHTS??
We literally live in a country where White people would gather around a lynched, castrated & burned black man for a photo and smile. They took pieces of his body as souvenirs to put on their mantle. They used our ancestors skin as leather and used our infants as alligator bait.
In his own racist words: JD Vance, on Charlie Kirk's podcast, denies that Kirk ever said anything like "Black women do not have the brain processing power to be taken seriously." He said go and watch it.
Challenge accepted, JD.
It was much worse.
