Can’t stress how important it is to learn the history of anything you’re passionate about

Your culture
Your favourite hobby
The food you like to eat
The books you like to read

Just anything

[BLACK-MEDIA-HUB✊🏿 @BmediaHQ]

James Baldwin's 1969 appearance on The Dick Cavett Show became memorable not because he shouted, but because he refused to let a discussion about racism be reduced to individual attitudes. When Yale philosophy professor Paul Weiss joined him on the program, Weiss argued that people should look beyond race and focus on the universal struggle to become fully human. Baldwin's response was that Black Americans faced something more immediate: the danger and barriers created by a society structured around race. https://t.co/nQbO25y2YI
Baldwin then made a distinction that still matters. He said he could not know what every white American privately believed, but he could look at institutions and see their effects. Segregated churches, unequal schools, exclusion from unions and discriminatory housing practices were not simply matters of personal prejudice. They shaped where Black Americans could live, work, worship and raise their children.
The exchange is sometimes described as Cavett bringing his old Yale professor out to debate Baldwin. That part is true, although the widely circulated retellings often exaggerate it into a dramatic takedown. Cavett had studied under Weiss at Yale and later brought him onto television. The broadcast itself shows a more complicated conversation, with Baldwin repeatedly pushing Weiss away from abstract ideas and back toward the lived consequences of racism. Speakola
Baldwin had spent much of his life examining that contradiction. Born in Harlem in 1924, he became a writer whose work explored race, religion, sexuality, identity and American history. He left the United States for France in 1948, partly because he believed distance might give him the freedom to write and understand his country more clearly.
What made Baldwin so formidable was not simply that he could argue. He could connect personal experience to the larger structures surrounding it. He understood that being told an individual could succeed did not erase the barriers facing millions of people who never received the same opportunities.
That 1969 conversation remains valuable because Baldwin was not asking America to feel guilty. He was asking it to look honestly at the evidence of its own institutions and then decide what kind of country it wanted to become.

Sudanese people have been undergoing the worst humanitarian crisis in recorded history with millions dead, in the name of resource extraction.. but don’t worry, we have secured more mineral wealth to enrich ourselves while they suffer in famine and genocide

patriarchy precedes white supremacy. patriarchy precedes capitalism. patriarchy precedes imperialism. patriarchy precedes ALL OF IT. it is the oldest domination model in existence and it is the blueprint of every model that came after.

Huey Newton And Bobby Seale Founded The Black Panther Party On This Day In 1966

No matter what stories have been told about the Black Panther Party, the group’s legendary ascent and unfortunate demise still stands as an important piece in our history.

quick reminder that "the Germans 1933–45 were not uniquely evil but rather normal people in a society that had totally lost its moral compass" is one of the basic lessons of the Nazi era, and yet certain people can still not see any relevant parallels

[Institute for Palestine Studies @PalStudies]

The Oslo Accords were infamously disastrous for Palestinian liberation and continue to haunt every aspect of life in Palestine today. Edward Said famously denounced the 1993 agreement as a "Palestinian Versailles" that amounted to a capitulation of national rights.

Under Oslo, the Palestinian Authority became “a guarantor of Israeli security” protecting Israeli settlements from Palestinians rightfully protesting the continuous theft of their land.

In 2003, Raef Zreik wrote that for many Palestinians, their “case is so unambiguously just, their claims and rights so unassailable under any standard of justice and international law, that virtually any concession is like cutting into flesh and bone.”

patriarchy is a protection racket. the good husband and father will condemn rape, but in his heart of hearts he's grateful for the rapist. the status he enjoys over women inside the home is legitimized by the danger they face outside of it.

[alpha @omarsbigsister]

The root cause of rape has always been power. It's not lust nor desire. It's power. The men who rape women do it because it gives them power over her, and that makes them feel good. That's why rape is a war crime, is tied to supremacist ideals, and is a big part of the patriarchy

[Nina vs. the World @ninamonei]

I am of the radical belief that we owe it to Black children to bend the world around their safety, security and freedom and they don’t actually have to prove they’re “good”, likable or “deserving” first.

"Africans are to free themselves. Your independence will mean nothing if you are not united. Your independence will mean nothing if you do not decolonize your minds. Your independence will mean nothing if you do not act with a sense of urgency to liberate Africa."

[Team Botswana @BoiLilly]

Allowing wolves inside your house, not just for a visit but to tell what, when and how to do the things you want to do in your own house for the sake of financing development is selling your country to the neocolonial strategists of new powers that be, the capitalist economy.

[Stanley Macharia @StanleyMachaari]

We must educate our African people philosophically. Illiteracy in philosophy results in low self esteem and lack of self awareness. This mental weakness turns them into tools of the White Supremacist empire. Traitors.
