@Less_HumbleTeej Jury was a farce. They railed that kid. Whether he was truly guilty or it was self defense, it never mattered he was doomed from the start sadly.
America’s systems of white supremacy continue to produce injustice.
This case weakens self defense arguments and strengthens the right of white supremacists to self deputize as overseers of Black Americans.
No matter how much time passes, I think getting one-shot by a white Mormon kid while blaming gun violence on black people will forever be the worst debate loss. It will never get worse than that. Ever.
How is it possible a normal person is doing a better job a reviewing music than professional journalists and music reviewers?
Actual nuance and knowledge on the topic talked about.
Great insight.
The coordinated cross pollination marketing of Kyle is unlike anything I’ve ever seen.
I also don’t follow him on Instagram or subscribe to his YouTube but he’s the first thing I see when I open those apps.
That Spirit Airlines failed isn’t the flash point. It’s passengers being stranded by both the company & the government.
In much the same way that Americans were stranded in the Middle East after we attacked Iran.
The government is supposed to be the entity that pushes back against capital on behalf of people. Now, however, the government is captured by capital.
It’s a hellscape.
Slavery in this country lasted 246 years. Jim Crow lasted around 100 years.
Our attempt to remedy the impact of those crimes against humanity was met with white terrorism & savagery.
The laws we finally got passed to address these harms were relentlessly challenged & lasted only 61 years before they were all finally stripped away.
This country has decided that the idea of race can be used to multigenerationally oppress us, but any remedy must be race neutral, which means there can be no remedy.
Never again will I vote for a presidential candidate who is unwilling to admit that America—a country that wouldn’t exist without chattel slavery—is a racist nation. That’s the beginning for me, before we even get to policies & legislation.
A-Train from The Boys TV adaptation is exactly how you do a flawed Black character.
They can exist without controversy from the audience.
Because The Boys actually gives Reggie’s arc meaning, purpose, and respect.
homelander himself will not win no matter what, and the boys/butcher killing him wont mean they win either. its not just about good vs evil, its all about the money, and the real enemy is Vought.
stan edgar and mm talk about exactly this in ep 3
People who have spent generations being oppressed understand nothing changes automatically.
The people have to show up and do the work in order for things to change.
