something i try to make clear in chapter 6 and 7 is how some of the same corporate foundations whose stated purpose were to neutralize Black progressive/revolutionary politics of the 1960s and 70s were also at the scene of the crime in the 2010s/2020. funneling $$$, opportunity, celebrity. manufacturing (pseudo-)leaders & civil rights iconography.
some of the same state ordained parasites, such as Gloria Steinem, who latched themselves onto the struggles and their spokespersons or cultural figures in the 20th century, found themselves also latched onto the struggles and media anointed leaders in the 21st century.
some of the icons—John Lewis, Angela Davis, Jesse Jackson, etc—who miraculously made it out of the tumultuous and deadly latter half of the cold war alive (while many of their comrades were incarcerated or killed) found their names, likeness, and iconography continually deployed as a weapon against contemporary struggles from below!
#BoyceWatkins is wrong. Here is a 7 minute summary that alone demonstrates his wild inaccuracies. That he is being welcomed back to the classroom to teach Black students economics is shameful.

@222KYRON i still need to watch the Odyssey, but i kinda feel like he’s on #fraudwatch bc outside of his performances as peter parker, which are fine, what can he do???
@222KYRON i think the real issue is how he got the money to pay producers to make GOOD beats for him or even to teach him how to produce as his own personal tutor, he simply refuses to.
Why Pakistan has a crucial role in the 2026 FIFA World Cup
This factory we toured didn’t make this year’s World Cup balls, but another one in Sialkot did.
Foreign military bases sit on our soil. Debt chains our economy. Our budget answers to the World Bank before it answers to the people. Our youth migrate because imperialism has suffocated national development.
So when Iran is strangled, we do not observe from a distance.
It should not be a shock that the U.S. settler state founded on a war of extermination of indigenous peoples and theft of Africans for enslavement would treat one of the top teams in Africa like this. This is what racist colonial fascism looks like in the U.S.
@222KYRON Yeah this is true but i also think there’s some space to encourage the deliberate enfranchisement of Black people for “Black Films”. I think we prolly agree that the “film industry” is critically limited, by design, in what it can meaningfully offer us as Black people.
just watched nypd brutalize a teenager and shove him into the back of a cop car. i have footage of the whole thing. no idea which precinct they took him to or any of his info—anyone know how i can best help?
Kenyans must learn from what France did in the Sahel from it's millitary bases, multinational corporations and CFA franc. These are outright imperialist machinations. The French-African Summit will only rubber stamp France reconfiguration in Africa. We must resist France.
Rafah is gone. A city with over 3,500 years of history. The city my grandmother lived in 80 years ago. Bulldozed. Erased in the blink of an eye. I will never forgive the world.
