@Phil_Lewis_ this is what happens to "good cops"

you get purged out

thats why its acab

[Anthony @AnthonyGSupreme]

Nothing says decorum like giving an honorary degree to a White Republican, displacing your students half hour from campus, and punishing them for being tardy, and threatning to pull financial aid. Such a great example to set for these kids lol

Trans girls in sports, Fauci, Mexico border. They’re running their 2 minute drill right now, Iran must have turboexploded a B2 bomber or something

[Your Fave's Fave @_ItsMarisWorld_]

the dearth of age-appropriate spaces/media/music has so much to do with this.

they aren't doing styles that can easily be done in someone's dorm room anymore. this pressure for adult stage-ready IG worthy styling is likely having them do all or nothing extremes

[Panic! At The TL @Puff_Iya]

Great read. Glad to see not only were they not wearing bonnets and durags en masse like I said but all the alternative forms of dress y’all were offering are also not allowed. I think the kids saying close your mouths and open your purses is a perfect way to close out this convo

[🐢✨America Is Musty✨🐢 @DragonflyJonez]

Great journalism by @Phil_Lewis_ here. Tuskegee kids discuss how they rarely see bonnets and durags on campus and how they’re dealing with a much more pressing housing crisis and an administration that granted an honorary degree to a Republican senator who is undoing critical race theory education in Alabama schools.

And the thing is the vast majority of the disconnected loudmouths who don’t know shit about this generation of HBCU students but still sought to tear these kids down won’t even read this bc they’re the intellectually lazy losers they accuse these ambitious, education seeking young ppl of being.

This was so good Phil! Here are some of my favorite quotes from the students

[Thick James @TheREAL_MBrooks]

“The dress code is the least of the student’s concerns. “I was a little confused myself on the whole dress code thing because you barely ever see anyone really in a bonnet.”

Wouldn’t be the first time a college administration created a story to distract folks from other issues.

I’m glad these conversations about Blackness are happening because they are exposing how much elitism and classism still exist within the Black community, especially the contempt some people have for poor and working-class Black people.

And to be clear, Black children raised in the suburbs are not responsible for the choices their parents made. I understand why Black parents want safer neighborhoods, better-funded schools, and more opportunities for their children. The problem is when “wanting better” becomes adopting the same logic that produced white flight: escaping Black communities instead of questioning why those communities were deliberately neglected, underfunded, overpoliced, and denied resources in the first place.

Too many Black people are taught that success means “making it out,” moving into a predominantly white neighborhood, sending their children to predominantly white schools, and distancing themselves from anything associated with poor Blackness. Then that distance sometimes becomes judgment, superiority, and embarrassment toward the very communities they came from.

What concerns me is not simply a Black person having white friends. It is when someone becomes so socially disconnected from other Black people that their understanding of Black life is shaped mainly through white spaces. Proximity to whiteness should never become a substitute for solidarity with Black people, especially poor and working-class Black people.

There’s been a lot of conversation online about the dress code policy at Tuskegee. But current students have been largely left out of the discourse.

So I talked with some of them:

The way mfs are crying about Ceuta you would have thought the land is part of continental Europe, but nah it is simply a relic of early European colonialism found on the continent of Africa.

Almost every single day I get online, there’s a story about a white man killing his entire family. There’s an obvious epidemic, yet this demographic is not labeled as violent. If this were a Muslim or a Black man, it would be a different story.

[Austine @theereal_one]

Damn white people can destroy literally ANYTHING! ANYTIME! ANYWHERE!

[Panic! At The TL @Puff_Iya]

“Notice you took it off for the presentation?” Yes because it’s lowkey incredibly insulting to assume that most students wouldn’t just. . .do exactly that?

yall would never fix ya mouths to say baroque or classical music isn’t european. yall would never say afrobeats isn’t african, yall would never say reggae isn’t jamaican yall would never say irisk folk ain’t irish, yall only do this stupid shit with black american music
