I'm not sure why talking about the overwhelming amount of victims of police killings are black males provoke such negative emotions on twitter? The FBI has files blatantly stating they're targeting black males. Decades of studies. Why is this seen as negative to talk about it?

I’ll say it again, the civil rights movement would not have been taken half as seriously if not for the Black veterans who came back home to fight internal colonialism.

Black Nationalism has historically been an ideology which promoted the development of independent Black nations and self-governed communities. It is not based on hatred of anyone. In fact, a number of prominent Black Nationalists have opposed doctrines which seek to divide the

Without Black male military combat veterans, there would never have been a Deacons for Defense, Revolutionary Action Movement (RAM), Black Panther Party (BPP), or Black Liberation Army (BLA). Without Black male military combat veterans there would never have been a Civil Rights

ReadingforLiberation Respectfully - Black American male military combat veterans do not need lefitists (black, white, latino, asian, non-american, etc.) to acknowledge our role or importance in past or future US liberation movements. We've seen up close and personal what happens to leftists left

I want to share this post & say something a/b it if I may. This is correct based on what I wrote. It amazes me how reviews of The Man-Not in journals & even on Amazon get that the concept of the Man-Not is about marking a space occupied by entities that do not register concern.

I find it strange how Sylvia Wynter is being co-opted by Black feminist theory despite her saying she is not a feminist and claiming that Marxism and Black feminism ruined our ability to come up with a new conceptualization of the Human against Western MAN. Every thinker cannot

Vic Interesting. All Americans, including Black Americans, play a role in US empire expansion. Some Black Americans do benefit from US empire expansion.

Philosopher-King Javionne 👑 Yea, its not a popular conversation once you understand empire expansion is a full-time job that requires everyone's participation to some level. For a critical mass of Black Americans, cognitive dissonance is a reality. Its just psychologically more soothing and less mentally

Kit Philosopher-King Javionne 👑 Thanks for the convo. Please explain this "coercion" part? When Black Americans join the military, policing, or lets say "ICE" - for economic stability, escape multi-generational poverty, and a provide a better lived experience for their loved ones- does that fall under

Kit Philosopher-King Javionne 👑 What about Black drug traffickers, pimps, or prostitutes? They are very loyal citizens and contribute greatly to the empire. Black bankers, engineers, teachers, accountants, social workers, politicians, construction workers, plumbers, college students, professional athletes and

Philosopher-King Javionne 👑 The US has always been involved in these types of kill operations against cartels but only on a case-by-case basis. Escalating this to a full-out counterinsurgent fight against drug cartels might get a little bloody but worth it to the US, because it would expand the US empire.
