The fake outrage at the Yung Miami song is based on two rightwing ideas seeded by Black conservative influencers and bots-

1: that Black folks "problem" is immorality vis a vis "crime", and 2: that economic crime comes from cultural influence &not capitalism-mandated poverty

Bc I like her music… I even defended her when ppl was calling her a pick me for Video.

It’s just disappointing to see how these love and light ladies turn real nice nasty and inconsistent in the topic at hand.

A song is not ruining a community, SYSTEMS are.

[Thick Saban ✨ @RaveenTheDream]

I like India Arie but I have a problem with women like her and when I find the words to articulate without dragging her ima come back to it.

[Dza 🇧🇧🇳🇬🇯🇲 @Deezedayyy]

She's not wrong, I cannot pretend it's not that deep. But for those with the right hygiene and discernment "enjoy that shit" and FGS please this song is not for kids!!!

All I can think about is the skit where the guy is driving in his car listening to heavy rap/ trap music and then he gets out of his car and walks into his nine to five regular job....maybe that's most of us. I HATE having to remind people once again that people are multifaceted...they like their Alexander Dumas with a side of City Girls and Erykah Badu.

BREAKING: Two people have climbed to the top of the Empire State Building in New York City, holding a banner from the skyscraper's antenna reading, "When the power of love beats the love of power, the world knows peace."

As of now it's unclear how the pair reached the top of the building as police work to get them down from the spire, 1,454 feet above the ground.

The Polygamist is dumb, but not in the way you think.

Part of the plotline’s climax is that Jonasi Gomora’s first wife hires a HIV+ woman that she met a few years earlier to infect her serial cheater husband by sleeping with him.

Jonasi subsequently dies because he doesn’t take his HIV meds. The story here is that the woman tasked with passing on the infection still appears healthy between the time she’s infected and when she infects him, which presupposes that she’s on ARVs, yet she’s simultaneously highly infectious enough to infect someone after one encounter.

This storyline is completely detached from scientific reality, perpetuating outdated HIV stigmas and ignores how transmission and treatment actually work.

The reality is that the fundamental principle of HIV is Undetectable = Untransmittable. So if the HIV lady is healthy because she is consistently taking her ARVs, as her health status implies, then her viral load would be undetectable.

In the real world, U=U has proven that a person with an undetectable viral load has ZERO risk of transmitting the virus sexually. By making her healthy yet somehow highly infectious, the show ignores the primary mechanism of how HIV treatment works.

Then there’s just the inefficiency of sexual transmission of HIV.
The chances of a female infecting a male in penile-vaginal intercourse is just 4 out of 10 000 exposures, or a 0.04% chance per act, and that’s assuming the female partner is untreated and has a detectable viral load, which, going by how the show’s plotline treats Jonasi’s progression with the infection, she herself should have been sick and dying by the time she’s approached.

The idea that Jonasi subsequently dies simply because he didn’t take HIV meds implies a rapid progression to AIDS and death, as his twins are barely 3 or 4 years old when he dies, when they must have 2 or so when he got infected. No strain of HIV is this potent.

In the end, the writers sacrificed medical accuracy for dramatic flair, falling back on an old, misogynist trope of the “infectious femme fatale” while completely ignoring the realities of ARVs and transmission statistics.

If the writers wanted to keep the plot point of a highly effective assassination via HIV, shifting to a parenteral route like an infected blood transfusion or an injection would have made the scheme a lot more plausible.

A blood transfusion has an estimated per-act probability of 9250 out of 10 000 exposures.
That is a staggering 92.5% transmission rate from a single event. Compared to the microscopic 0.04% chance of insertive penile-vaginal intercourse.

A contaminated transfusion or heavy blood injection turns the plot from statistically impossible into a near-certainty.

Also, since the show already established that the wife has a corrupt doctor on her payroll, a medical frame-up is a perfect fit. Jonasi gets into a minor accident, or is drugged and admitted to the hospital, the doctor claims he needs a blood transfusion and deliberately uses a contaminated batch🤷🏾‍♂️

The entire thing is a missed opportunity for the writers, who chose to substitute lazy, stigmatising writing for what could have been a tightly plotted thrilling climax.

@Vanishia_K 100%. Even the encounter with Linde wasn’t really about sex. It was rooted in his predatory behaviour and the way he viewed her as something to possess and play with. Same with how he treated Matipe after she had given birth. 😭

[Channel 4 News @Channel4News]

The Environment Agency has dropped its threat to prosecute litter pickers over alleged environmental offences while clearing rubbish from a London River.

It comes after Channel 4 News recently exposed legal threats made to Paul Powlesland and other volunteers for undertaking clearance work without a permit.

The East Londoner claims he took action after authorities failed to clear rubbish from the River Roding.

While the Environment Agency said it won't pursue a prosecution, it has continued to warn against future rubbish clearing activities, something Mr Powlesland has said he will ignore unless he's given a meeting with the organisation's chief executive.
