RIP Mother Khadijah Farrakhan.
May her sins be forgiven. May her grave be made spacious and full of light. May she be granted the highest levels of paradise.

The problem w the world isnt lack of empathy. Its that the ruling class exploits the working class for consolidation of wealth & power
The lack-of-empathy idea hides our primary conflict & hides that class struggle is the answer.
Spielberg's aliens were capitalist propagandists.
@basedondennis my little sister sent me this post because I also have this kind of power lol, but i also have to say the drive train and engine specs or the inside of my skull starts itching
YG gets emotional recalling a conversation with his 10 year-old daughter that changed his outlook:
“She said, ‘Dad, do you love me?’
I said ‘Yeah’
She said, ‘Do you love your family?’
I said ‘Yeah’
She said, ‘Are you happy?’
I said, ‘Umm, I don’t know.’
She said, ‘See, that’s the problem. When I asked you about everybody else, you said yeah. But when I asked you about yourself, you didn’t know…Dad, you need to stop worrying about everybody, and worry about yourself.’
I said ‘What?’…[and started crying]…I got the message…
God sent me that message, and I just locked in on that.”
@DJHed@YG
it’s crazy to take this whole thing as “this guy is being annoying” and not “wow this guy has to work a million times harder to get the same recognition as other directors trying way less to connect with their audiences”. and also then not make the connection as to why that is
Hey @BootsRiley 👋🏾
Saw the flick last week, it was hilarious and I liked it so much I went to see it again last night and honestly it was way better the 2nd time!!! I feel like I fully understood it, and my favorite line is now "I have a plan! — I don't have a plan." Pwr2theppl
Not one comment is about how "this movie glorifies stealing" like the rightwingers said when coming after I Love Boosters
Its cuz there's been yrs of hysteria built around shoplifting, framed around black & brown folks as a way 2 scapegoat them capitalism's necessitated poverty
Either you have that dog in you, or you don't..
That's really what it all boils down to
Can't keep letting weeks and years pass, and you're still not living up to who you want to be
@jamesjonesesq@cybercrime888@Amina_io Honestly idek what she meant by ppl talking to her like she's "retarded" or undeserved. Thats not my experience. I just got triggered by her original turn of phrase. I actually do get how someone who's not from here would not immdtly know how to tap in w Ca black culture.
@FethersJason@cybercrime888@Amina_io It's not 1 or 2 families here or there, though. That's my point. Just because the black community actually has to choose to be around black ppl doesn't mean there isn't a community. If you only mean everyone on the same block, then obv no, black ppl are like 10% pop not ~50%
@cashgodrupert@cybercrime888@Amina_io No. And no.
In Atlanta for example, ~ 50/50 black & white. Obv there would be a sizable black middle class.
In LA, it's ~50/30/10/10 Hisp, White, Asian, Black. What's the point of downing a smaller population for being smaller by saying they figuratively dont exist?
@cybercrime888@Amina_io Fair enough. Kind of a moot point, because the difference in demographics is quite clear between Georgia and California. She specifically said "there is no black middle class here", which is patently false. I wish there were more black ppl here tho, I love the South. ❤️
