Frederick Douglass explained that slave masters used sports as a means of “keeping down the spirit of insurrection.” It was a momentary distraction but they worked as “as conductors, or safety-valves, to carry off the rebellious spirit of enslaved humanity.” To a large degree, sports serves the same function for us today. Many of us invest a great deal of time, energy, and money into what is ultimately a form of entertainment which does very little to advance our liberation.
George W Bush will never be redeemed to me. Michelle Obama gave that man a hug and y’all have been going super hard for him ever since. when this is the same man who abandoned Black folk during Katrina, gutted education, initiated endless wars & ruined the economy.
Black folk. We ain't gotta be revisionist everytime old white people die. Clive Davis was a piece of shit, treated Black women artist (Whitney Houston, Phyllis Hyman) horribly. When shaytaan comes to collect his people it's none of our Black ass business! Why Yall saying rip?
