I DON'T CARE
I don't care if you never scored a point or got a rebound. I don't care if you were a McDonald's all American. I don't care if you have been here six years. I don't care if you went pro or over seas. I don't care if you have a big name or a small name. I don't care
Young people are sending out a strong and clear message because they want better for themselves and the future: ‘Let’s take the sheistys off and put on more N95s — we’re working to keep these kids alive.’
The Democrats been saying Black Americans can’t ask for nothing until we vote first to put them back in office‼️🤔
Black Americans have been voting Democrat down the ballot & the DEMOCRATS haven’t given Black people anything substantial AT ALL‼️😑
Frank Zappa was decades ahead of his time. In 1981, he said this:
"Schools train people to be ignorant. They give you the equipment that you need to be a functional ignoramus."
"They prepare you to be a usable victim for a military industrial complex that needs manpower."
"As long as you're just smart enough to do a job, and just dumb enough to swallow what they feed you, you're going to be alright."
"Schools mechanically and very specifically try and breed out any hint of creative thought in the kids that are coming up."
“A man who tolerates disrespect teaches the world how to treat him.
A people who accept injustice train their oppressor to continue.
Self-respect is the first line of defense” ~ Malcolm X
Look at their faces. What do you see?
I wanted to look them in the eye and say, on the record, that they are attempting to reconstruct this government to undo Black progress. Their targeting of @calvin4clerk is rooted in that reality, and it needed to be called out plainly.
I showed up speaking for myself. No organization in Louisiana sent me. No party asked me to come. I say that to make clear much of this work is being done independently, without formal partnerships, and without the budgets, staff, or institutional backing many established organizations have.
I came because what they are doing is wrong. The court reconstruction happening in New Orleans has been done in different ways already in Baton Rouge and across this state—especially in the largest, Blackest cities—to dilute Black political power.
I started Civics for the People because I know many of us don’t know what is happening inside government or how these systems are used. It’s my way of teaching the game and helping our people move with knowledge.
Their elections are in 2027. We can send them home to frown and chew grass much gum as they please.
If you believe this work matters, support Civics for the People at the link in my bio so I can teach the people and send some on these people home.
Share if you care 🦾
I know I've said it before, but I'll say it again.
Very few people appreciate what America lost when we lost newspapers.
Just being able to sit down every morning in silence and peruse news, opinion, sports, advice, recipes, interesting human interest stories all in one place was such a pleasure.
The Internet has never produced anything that comes close.
In 1803, 75 Igbos from Nigeria 🇳🇬 chose to drown in the Ocean over being sold into slavery.
According to history, The Igbo slaves were said to be a rebellious breed. They preferred to die free, than to be bond in chains . ⛓️😱
“You always call it a minority problem. But we are not a minority in the world. You are the minority.
All you really have, after all, are space shuttles, banks and weapons. What you don’t have anymore is me.”
— James Baldwin, 1981
“Never mind that YT people have been doing Black face since early US history. Never mind that YT people have been stealing Egyptian history …”
About @druski, He ailed it 🎯🎯
