Don’t let this go unnoticed

[Don’t Boo…Revolt! @BreeNewsome]

As America implodes, people will absolutely be clinging to their spots on the hierarchy of race, gender and religion so just be prepared for that

that’s why i don’t entertain the respectability politics conversations. in these mfs eyes, the only “good black person” is a DEAD ONE

[Superb Villainy @MajestyRia]

Black America is clearly under attack & I need Black Americans to not give a single fuck about how we’re perceived by these crackers as we move into the next phase of dismantling this country. They are committed to conspiring against our tribe & the court won’t save you.

Girls, please PICK THE GENTLE ONE. The kind one. The one who brings you peace. The protective one. The one who is sure of you. The one who respects you. The one who understands your silence. The one who sees your heart without judgement. The one who holds your dreams with care.

First documented use of “woke” was singer Lead Belly in the 1930s to explain his song about the Scottsboro Boys.

It served as a reminder to stay vigilant during Jim Crow, the Civil Rights Movement, BLM, etc.

“Woke” carries far too much history and sacrifice to EVER be misused.

One idea that has revolutionized my thinking is this: you are allowed to not want things.
You can look at everything society tells you that you need to have and just be like, “Nope. I will not be participating.”

sometimes you gotta decide that it’s the last time the universe teaches you the same lesson

I think when people say "decolonize your mind" they mean from white supremacy — and I think it actually includes deprogramming yourself from all the other stuff too (religion, patriarchy, homophobia, capitalism, etc) because those things are also white supremacy believe it or not

“People get used to anything. The less you think about your oppression, the more your tolerance for it grows. After a while, people just think oppression is the normal state of things. But to become free, you have to be acutely aware of being a slave.” -Assata Shakur

I wish Black folks would stop playing into respectability politics, I mean we all know shorty was innocent but even if he stole water his penalty shouldn't be fucking death.

[Afro Calrissian 🇺🇸 @Bagelz888]

I love black people who love black people

writing about how black women never lost their whimsy y’all just renamed it ghetto

[K @knicksrevenge]

Might be kinda extra of me but I find it so odd when people rejoice over black people cutting their locs off

[An Emotional Environmentalist @AjaniMnyandu]

It’s strange how we’re encouraged to pursue higher education so that we can become informed, critical thinkers and contribute to society. But the moment that education is used to challenge popular narratives, we’re told we’re too educated, out of touch, or speaking from privilege

What has not wearing bonnets in public done for Black women as a whole?

[chinenyenwa @igbomermaid]

[Ineffa @IneffaIneffa]

Everyone should be more aggressively pro trans and pro gay and pro LGBTQ
