The truth is this: America has never reckoned with the rot at its foundation. We have layered distractions over open wounds, masked them with patriotism, cloaked them in capitalism, and whispered over them with prayers we never meant to act upon. But pain that is not confronted does not disappear. It festers. And now the infection is visible, in our streets, our systems, and our spirits.
Western culture, and American culture in particular, has never resolved its foundational xenophobia. Instead, it doubled down on hierarchy and myth, exploiting marginalized communities for labor, then casting them aside as scapegoats for the very problems they were forced to prop up.
We never cleaned up the legacy of slavery or segregation. We merely paved over it and called it “progress.” The Civil Rights Act passed in 1964. That’s not ancient history. Many of those who marched for the right to vote, who were spat on, beaten, and arrested for simply demanding dignity are still alive today. Bloody Sunday didn’t happen in a textbook. It happened in living memory. And let’s not forget in the 1950s, white churchgoers would dress up for Sunday service, then walk right out to attend lynchings like picnics. That’s not hyperbole. That is documented fact.
And while most white Americans today are not overtly racist, complacency has become the deadlier disease. Silence is complicity. Refusing to confront racism or worse, minimizing its impact ensures its survival. The burden of repair was never meant to rest solely on the shoulders of the wounded.
Here’s the brutal irony: now the rot is coming for everyone. Income inequality, infrastructure collapse, distrust in institutions. These are not symptoms of immigration or liberal governance. They are symptoms of a nation that refused to heal. The same apathy that allowed racism to endure has now hollowed out the bones of democracy itself.
So yes, Brian, you can make it about politics or borders or budgets, but the truth is simpler, and more devastating: it is cultural vanity that refuses introspection. It is a society built to avoid mirrors. But now, the cracks are everywhere. You can no longer patch them with pride.
What we’re witnessing isn’t just dysfunction. It’s the cost of refusing to grow up. And unless we collectively rise to end the cycle, to acknowledge, to atone, and to rebuild, no one will come out of this on top. The entire house will fall.
And history will remember not just the cruelty of the few but the indifference of the many.
@atensnut@BarackObama No he won’t. He will be remembered as one of the greatest modern presidents. And Trump will be the most hated in modern history with a 37% approval rate and falling. Everyone thinks he’s a pedo. And you will be remembered as a pedo defender……….respectfully of course.
In its early years, @Grindr was a free platform with optional premium features that cost just a few dollars. It was accessible and straightforward, catering to the LGBTQ+ community by providing a unique space for connection. However, over time, its business model has shifted significantly, with subscription prices increasing more and more. Now, many features that were once free are locked behind paywalls, and users are required to pay unreasonable amounts just to access basic functionalities. This shift raises important questions about exploitation under the guise of “connecting people.”
One particularly intriguing chapter in Grindr’s history is its acquisition by the Chinese gaming company Kunlun Tech in 2016. China, as a nation, has historically maintained homophobic policies and a restrictive stance on LGBTQ+ rights. Same sex marriage is not recognized, and LGBTQ+ advocacy is often suppressed. This begs the question: why would a country with such policies allow one of its companies to acquire and operate a platform like Grindr, which is so integral to LGBTQ+ life globally?
The answer likely lies in economics and data, rather than support for LGBTQ+ individuals. Grindr was a lucrative investment opportunity and a treasure trove of sensitive user data, including location and identity information of millions worldwide. It is conceivable that Grindr’s value as a business asset, combined with the potential for surveillance or data driven insights, outweighed any ideological concerns within the Chinese government at the time. However, this acquisition was short lived. In 2020, under pressure from the U.S. government citing national security risks, Kunlun Tech was forced to sell Grindr to U.S. based investors. The concern was that sensitive user data from a vulnerable community could be misused by a nation with a history of censorship and surveillance.
Post sale, Grindr has undergone further changes most notably a steep increase in subscription prices. It has become increasingly inaccessible to those unwilling or unable to pay the new fees, creating a system that monetizes basic access to connection and safety in the LGBTQ+ community. This commercialization of a once community oriented platform underscores a troubling cycle: we often end up financially supporting entities that claim to serve us but whose practices increasingly alienate us.
Grindr’s evolution from a grassroots, community focused platform to a profit driven enterprise mirrors broader issues in the tech industry. It is part of a larger trend where corporations exploit marginalized communities for profit while giving little back in terms of genuine support or advocacy. The history of its ownership moving from a government with homophobic policies to a U.S. investment group that immediately monetized access serves as a stark reminder that the LGBTQ+ community must remain vigilant. Without alternatives, we risk being dependent on platforms that act not in our interest but for profit, all while claiming to be “for us.”
@sniffiesapp is better.
@awatts59@BettyBowers@WUTangKids The girl in the dollar store dress with a photo from the early 2000s is offering social advice everyone. She thinks that rich white people who would never even invite them in her home is going to make her able to dress better in 4 years.
We will see what happens.
@WUTangKids They have literally been warning us about this exact kind of mentality. And we chose another direction. Because no one has tuned into the IFO hearing that are currently going on in congress.
It’s clear you’ve missed the bigger issue. Instead of being appalled that children are being targeted and made to feel unsafe in a place of learning, you’ve chosen to focus on defending protocol. That speaks to a deeply troubling lack of empathy particularly for the Black students who are being openly harassed.
Your dismissal of this as a procedural matter reeks of isms. By ignoring the humanity of the victims and centering your argument on technicalities, you reveal where your priorities truly lie. And remember your words online, just like everyone else’s, are tied to your identity and your address. The internet doesn’t forget, and neither does history. While you may feel emboldened to speak so boldly now, the tide ALWAYS turns. The harm being done will be addressed, whether you care to acknowledge it or not.
Jacobi_DSP: Undeniably Visionary
@Jacobi_DSP is more than a name it’s a brand, a legacy, and a testament to the power of authenticity. A military veteran turned creative powerhouse, Jacobi channels his life experiences, resilience, and boundless imagination into content that stands apart in the world of amateur entertainment. From his regal themes to his unapologetic embrace of individuality, Jacobi redefines what it means to be a creator, a Black man, and a subverter of expectations.

Jacobi’s collaborations are another hallmark of his creativity. From themed group projects with fellow models to intimate moments that feel raw and real, his work is as versatile as it is dynamic.

Also, no one is talking about how he could have left those dudes out of the video. I’m sure not all young black men denied him.
But look at the ones he chose to approach. Stay vigilant and stay true to our young black men. Don’t let back handed racist videos like this validate things that are not the whole truth.
