My name is Téjahn and I’m a Canadian-Jamaican contemporary footwear designer. My Black owned, women led—size inclusive brand needs your help.

Sales have been painfully slow lately and I kindly ask that you RT this to get my shoes in front of the girls who love to play in heels

I never take offense to being underestimated, I’m becoming someone not even I believed I could be.

[chris evans @notcapnamerica]

Anyone else find it interesting that as soon as Black people started getting bachelors degrees suddenly they didn’t mean much in the job market anymore?

Uncomfortable truth time. The world feels entitled to Black American culture. We share it so freely because sharing it has been one of the only ways we’ve been seen. Our intellectual, political, and scientific contributions have erased and delegitimized, but the world still agrees we can make you dance, laugh etc.

Since that culture remains our biggest export, we sell it. Because we sell it, every one consumes it, then thinks it’s theirs. It’s not. Our culture is like any other, based on shared history, pain, ingenuity, inspiration, and pressure. There was a tax paid. Like ANY other culture in EXISTENCE you can’t walk in and walk out without an understanding of that tax at the very least. It would be silly to think that.

To think that we should just be fully giving of our art, experience, and cultural invention to the world with nothing so much as a conversation would make us the workhorses of the world.

No.

I wouldn’t expect that from any group in the diaspora. I would expect that if Beyonce did a dancehall album tomorrow, there would be a conversation. I would expect that if Kendrick went Afro Beats and opened a Jollof restaurant we would talk about it. And the obligation we’d have to each other is that the conversation be had with love. That’s the only time we fail, not when we don’t talk about our differences, but when we war about them. But, we are different, and that’s okay.

Gates will be kept, but not necessarily locked.

@CrackaaC @moanformari @djvlad We do and we did tho. It’s OUR culture not yours, you have no right telling us what we can & can’t do within/with it. It’s not rocket science

[Petty LaBelle @PickleMamaa]

That lady said vlad you’re white stay out of black peoples business. Vlad said I’m telling your boss lmaooo I hate white people 😂

Christopher Gilbert is an aspiring medical doctor with a masters in biological science. His friends pushed him into a Louisiana lake, knowing he couldn’t swim. Then didn’t bother to help him get out as he was drowning.

He’s now brain dead. https://t.co/dNKDRQ2oCj

A pastor who ::checks notes:: supports racism, a rapist and a racist.

[Bishop Talbert Swan @TalbertSwan]

A gang of wild, uncouth, vile, white supremacist, thugs at the University of Mississippi singled out a Black female student protester, spewed racial epithets and other pejoratives, chanted “Lizzo“ and made monkey noises. This is the white male in America.

[Ichigo Niggasake @SomaKazima]

I need to hear this Dwight Howard joke lol

[Dr. Allison Wiltz @queenie4rmnola]

We can't move forward as a nation because White people hate accountability and hoard power

[Dr. Allison Wiltz @queenie4rmnola]

White supremacists are shouting slurs at Black and Muslim schools. Yet, I don't see any public officials talking about anti-Black racism or Islamaphobia. This is America
