the campaign against AES, waged by both parties and their messengers, is some of the most bigoted shit i have ever seen in a lifetime of paying attention to politics.
Gary, Indiana doesn’t have power for the same reason Flint, Michigan didn’t have clean water, for the same reason Jackson, Mississippi hasn’t gotten state funds for necessary infrastructure improvements.
Gary, Indiana is 76% Black.
Flint, Michigan is 57% Black.
Jackson, Mississippi is 82% Black.
It really isn’t that hard to figure out.
While you were sleeping. Northwestern University is shutting down is 80-year-old program of African Studies as a research center. African students and students of African History come to @HowardU

This is an absolute travesty.
Northwestern has, probably, the 2nd best library collection for African History/Studies in the USA (behind Yale and ahead of MSU, UCLA, etc).
A self-inflicted wound that is absolutely, 100% unnecessary given the massive wealth of Northwestern.
Northwestern University is reportedly shuttering its 80-year-old Program of African Studies, laying off staff and keeping students in the dark
It is the "first formal academic program focused on Africa in the United States."

this NY Times article is a must read. it highlights perfectly the extent to which these procedures endanger athletes' bodies due to racist prejudices, geopolitical motivations, and significant discrimination against intersex people. https://t.co/IVG1y5pR1u
We wore 5x tees and durags and knew to take that shit off when it was time to be professional and these kids know too. I work job fairs at HBCUs and they come suited and booted and impressively present themselves. Theyre gonna be just fine. And can do without the fake concern
Stop dressing up disdain for young black ppl as some type of warped sense of concern and care. Yall just have very low opinions of young black ppl. And that’s the discussion we really need to have.
I promise you when it was class presentation day or job fair on campus day, everyone at my HBCU was showing up dressed extremely professional. These kids know when it’s time to get starched and creased. Who gives a fuck if they’re wearing pajama pants to a Tuesday class at 8am
When cops say a Black child's water bottle looked like a gun they can execute them without facing any accountability for it but when someone shoots a round at the ground near a cop to prevent them from shooting a protestor in the back they get 100 years in prison.
Abolish it all
Literally every two years that I’ve been alive, elite media does the whole “stop the intraparty fighting!” move to try to shut down any and all criticism of corporate Democrats.
Elite media tone policing will continue until morale improves.
