Joe Biden gave a speech. Perhaps the most bizarre speech I’ve ever heard. I sincerely hope he’s well. If he is, and this is just how he gives speeches, then I’d advise that he not give speeches anymore.
I tell you about these slow, old negroes who didn't think about supporting REAL black media...until they needed one! 🙄
All these black celebs who trick off their money instead of investing it in a media who will stick up for them sound crazy as hell trying to talking black now.
A few weeks ago Angela Davis came to Harvard. During Q&A a highschooler asked her something like "did any black men support you and who, if any, did" with lots of oos and ahhs from the crowd. Davis quickly had to state that lots of black men supported her and that while the
communities she was organizing with exposed "contradictions" around gender, she said-- and I quote-- "there were no gender wars". Anyway, what's interesting about the question is how certain assumptions about black peoples' relationships get projected backwards into history
so you have people thinking that the bpp tried to keep women from joining or that they didn't support davis when she was imprisoned. On the other hand, people forget davis' close connections with people/orgs who are retroactively described as patriarchal (George Jackson/BGF)
