Turn down for what?
Historic civil rights institutions become obsolete the moment they demand economic sacrifice from young Black people while delivering mostly workshops, grants, hashtags, and press releases in return.
You can’t keep asking broke 19-year-olds to risk scholarships, NIL money, and careers while billionaire leagues, celebrity athletes, gambling sponsors, and corporate power centers remain untouched.
Y’all remember how we said during the campaign that leaning on fear of Trump & Project 2025 wasn’t enough?
And that Harris needed a bold & positive agenda? And that agenda needed to be more than stopping price gauging? And it needed to come sooner rather than later? And that the politics of redistribution was > than the politics of identity?
Yeah. I know.

@BreakingBrown@AmericandosN For someone claiming that integration was a mistake and that we need to build our own, David Banner should have plenty to say about the DOJ report on the Tulsa Race Massacre. 🤔
Oh well...
White families stole my family's and millions of acres of other American Descendants of Slavery's #ADOS land with the help of the American government.
White people didn't stand up to our gov't when ADOS were locked out of the Homestead Act.
Just voted & two things:
1/ This is the first time I’ve stood in a line to vote since Obama.
2/ Them down ballot races be beating the h*ll out of us. People were making choices while in line. We’ve got to do a better job on voter education.
Well, since Latin American countries did participate in the global slave trade, this is an excellent lesson for those ADOS who think we are all the same and the only racists in our country are our historic oppressors, white people. Many Latinos take racism to another level. This is another hard lesson some of us must learn.
I can’t speak for all Black applicants because of the prevalence of Black immigrants & their progeny at elite institutions, but an ADOS applicant with an equal academic background of a white or Asian applicant *should* be more likely to get a callback because of everything that applicant & their family overcame to arrive at that moment.
We face a different levels of opposition, racism, and structural inequality. Our country has been weaponized against ADOS for generations.
I doubt that’s what’s happening here though. The reality is that racists are taking “their”country back. The aim isn’t fairness or justice. The goal is to lock us out of elite institutions.
Elon Musk’s DOGE “blatantly used” race, gender and other protected characteristics to execute the largest mass termination of federal grants in the history of the National Endowment for the Humanities, a federal judge ruled on Thursday. https://t.co/hwzwfkkLBS
People don’t think she can win. Harris lost not only the election, but the popular vote.
Both Hillary Clinton & Al Gore won the popular vote but lost the election.
And the conversation people need to take seriously is dumping the electoral college. It’s undemocratic.
ADOS needs to understand we better start setting our own agenda.
Stop all this Black Left vs Black Democrats nonsense. We shouldn’t be divided over ideology. We should be united over lineage.
