I’m non-binary by which I mean my pronouns are she/they by which I mean my gender is both a lil pink switch blade and a pocket dimension trapped inside a Bratz doll
“I will flatly say that the bulk of this country’s white population impresses me . . . as being beyond any conceivable hope of moral rehabilitation. They have been white, if I may so put it, too long; they have been married to the lie of white supremacy too long.”
James Baldwin
As a Black kid whose parents moved me out of the hood as a teenager (13) I can personally attest to how living around white people doesn’t make you more safe or more enlightened. Never been called a nigger monkey by a crip.
Hunting licenses were created because Black folks were so much better at hunting than white people. So they started charging money for them because they knew Black folks during and after enslavement wouldn’t be able to afford it.
Everybody getting on stage saying “fuck ice” which is cool but when Black people was getting brutalized by police, nobody was saying fuck the police but okay
To all those who aren’t Black, don’t forget to celebrate Black History too by celebrating us continuously. You benefit from our history, our culture, our lived realities. You use AAVE. Our culture/history is just as American. Honor the ones in your lives this month & every month!
"White Americans desire to be free from a past they do not want to remember, while Black Americans remain bound to a past they can never forget." —Nikole Hannah-Jones
not enough ppl know about the black family that had tear gas shot into their car in Minneapolis deploying all their airbags, suffocating their kids, and hospitalizing a six month old.
German reporters are covering it bc American media won’t
Dear Black People: I'll keep repeating this until someone hears me:
TUBI is owned by the Murdochs. *EVERYTHING* you watch on it supports MAGA, ICE, Fox News & Trump.
It's a fresh revenue stream to create even more anti-Black content - & they use YOUR Black viewership to do it.
A Gen Z joined the team.
Week one.
During onboarding, the manager said,
“We sometimes stay late during peak periods.”
Gen Z nodded.
Then asked,
“Is that paid… or just expected?”
The room went quiet.
- No attitude.
- No rebellion.
- Just a question.
Later that day, HR mentioned “growth opportunities.”
Gen Z replied,
“Does growth include raises, or just more responsibility?”
Again, silence.
- No laziness.
- No entitlement.
- Just clarity.
That’s when the team realized something.
When people say
“Gen Z is lazy,”
what they really mean is:
Gen Z watched old generation
- skip meals,
- miss birthdays,
- work weekends,
- and burn out
only to be told
“budgets are tight”
and “be grateful you have a job.”
So Gen Z chose differently.
- They don’t romanticize overwork.
- They don’t confuse suffering with ambition.
- They don’t trade health for praise.
They still work hard.
They just refuse to work for nothing.
It’s not laziness.
It’s pattern recognition.
And honestly,
after everything old generation went through…
Can you really blame them?
