Why we let the nation elect Trump?
Why ‘cause I’m Black I gotta try 2X harder than y’all just to catch up?
Why I feel they still don’t respect us? Don’t accept us or protect but arrest us?
Why is the world is so messed up? Why the system I live in oppress us?

The federal arrest of journalist Don Lemon, despite a judge previously rejecting charges, is a chilling assault on the First Amendment and press freedom. This administration, and the criminal, racist, rapist, President driving it, are weaponizing law enforcement to silence dissent and punish journalists who hold power accountable. America has devolved into complete authoritarianism when speaking or reporting the truth becomes a crime.
HYPOCRISY: Black Trump supporting preachers loudly condemning Jasmine Crockett as ‘ratchet’ and ‘hood’ for her language, but silent about Trump bragging about grabbing women by the p*ssy, calling Black athletes ‘sons of b*tches,’ and dropping f bombs during interviews.
@Damaan4u33 Bishop Swan is not “most likely” right, he’s 💯% correct. This goes all the way back to Emmett Till in 1955 Mississippi. It was wrong then & it’s wrong now. No one should live in fear because of their skin color.
What this administration is doing to dehumanize and subjugate Black people ain’t new—we’ve outlasted Pharaohs, plantations, and presidents. We don’t just endure…we overcome.
We’re BUILT DIFFERENT!!

Pardoning rappers guilty of gun charges and a gang leader convicted of murder to gain clout amongst Black voters and then evicting thousands of Black youth from a life transforming job program in the same week reveals just how stupid and shallow Trump and his administration think Black people are.
I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial, but it is…
Larry Hoover is not a political prisoner.
Let’s be clear: The Gangster Disciples have terrorized Black communities for nearly 60 years—through murder, drug trafficking, extortion, and the destruction of countless lives. There is nothing redemptive or revolutionary about that legacy.
i’m not arguing as to whether Mr. Hoover has been rehabilitated or deserves a second chance. I am arguing that making him into a hero and a political prisoner, the likes of former Black Panthers and former Black liberation Army members, is dead wrong.
Donald Trump didn’t pardon Larry Hoover out of compassion, principle, or justice. He did it to pander—plain and simple. Pander to a segment of the Black community enamored with the folklore of gang leaders, misled by celebrity endorsements from people like Kanye West.
And no, Chance the Rapper—Larry Hoover is not some Malcolm or Mandela. He didn’t suffer under the system for fighting for Black people. He preyed on them. He didn’t build our communities. He helped bleed them dry.
Yes, we have every reason to distrust a racist and unjust criminal justice system that has caged far too many of our people for simply being Black. But conflating legitimate resistance with organized crime is dangerous. There are many freedom fighters who deserve justice. Larry Hoover is not one of them.
We can—and must—condemn police violence, mass incarceration, and systemic racism, without rewriting the history of gang violence as though it was community activism. That’s not liberation. That’s confusion.
Stop turning gangsters into heroes. Our people deserve better.
Caucacity is lecturing Black people on the need for meritocracy after electing a convicted criminal and adjudicated rapist as president and supporting him putting drug addicts in charge of the Department of Government Efficiency and the Department of Health & Human Services and a sexual predator in charge of the Department of Defense.
