Seeing and hearing Black people in different parts of the country, I honestly feel that a lot of you need to spend some time in Atlanta. Not just a few days, but a month or two, to really absorb what it’s like to not feel like a minority.
That alone changes how you hear the rest of the world.
I’ve been on calls in the past with white executives from other cities who have spoken to me in ways that immediately made me think, “Who do you think you’re talking to?” Because nobody talks to us like that in Atlanta.
And I think a lot of Black people in other parts of the country have been forced to live with so much disrespect, and daily microaggressions that some of it has become normalized. Not because it’s acceptable, but because survival, safety, and economic opportunity often require tolerating things that should never be tolerated.
What makes me sad is realizing how many Black people have never experienced what it feels like to move through a city where Black excellence is visible, Black leadership is common, Black wealth exists, and Black people are not constantly being reminded of their place.
When you spend enough time in an environment where you are respected, represented, and empowered, you stop negotiating with disrespect. You stop shrinking yourself to make other people comfortable. You stop confusing tolerance for acceptance.
And once you’ve experienced that, it’s very hard to go back.
Looking at American Chattel Slavery as an act of war changes your perspective on everything. With no “particular” country to negotiate an end to the war, how does it end…. ✊🏾🖤
SHOCKING🚨: A new astronomical study confirms that the universe is still expanding at an accelerating rate, contradicting a study published late in 2025 that had suggested the possibility of this expansion slowing down.
Yes, it's real science. Astronomers detected powerful ultra-fast outflows (UFOs in the field) of gas from quasar WISSH13's supermassive black hole using XMM-Newton and NuSTAR. Winds at ~10% and 30% light speed, very energetic, from when the universe was ~2 billion years old. Daily Mail headline sensationalizes the acronym — no aliens, just epic black hole feedback shaping galaxies.
Nobel Prize physicist James Peebles says we must admit a hard truth: Dark matter and dark energy are just placeholders for our ignorance.
95% of the universe remains completely unknown to us.
