Multiple things can be true at once and the truth is: we usually require lighter skinned people to confirm that racism is real instead of listening to people who anti-Blackness attacks first. Yes, I’ll die on this hill. Good morning.

In 2016, I received an email that knocked me off my feet. It was a tip about Jesuit priests who sold 272 people in 1838 to save Georgetown University. This wasn't news to historians, but it it astounded me. Catholic priests participated in the slave trade? Why didn’t I know?

I love this tweet. Always remember the technical term for cowboys like Wyatt Earp and Wild Bill is: "white cowboys." The first cowboys were Africans in South Carolina... Until white South Carolinians panicked. A thread:

Let’s normalise speaking ill of the dead. Because it’s mentalities like this that allows the sins of men like King Leopald and just people in general to go uncovered. Let’s normalise speaking the ugly facts about people. Death should never protect one from the truth

ghana, gambia, cameroon, nigeria, jamaica, kenya, malawi, malaysia, uganda, tanzania, yemen, zambia, bahrain, qatar, belize, half the caribbean.... all were under british rule at the start of elizabeth’s reign. and that’s not even all.

Amazing how white people commit atrocities in one generation & then they just disappear from existence. No descendants, no names, no current wealth or land holdings that can be identified as a result of the atrocity. Only Black survivors exist with living memory, apparently.

Well actually, medical Jim Crow BEEN here. And I know white folks are gonna point to poverty and "socioeconomic status" but I'mma just post some facts: A thread

Please stop using out of context quotes from my father to excuse not working to eradicate racism. His “content of their character” quote lies within a full speech, ‘I Have A Dream,’ in which he talks about ending racist police brutality and economic injustice. #MLK #TruthTeller

Sometimes a thread ain't enough: theroot.com/why-everyone-i…

I heard someone make a profound observation once. He said “white ppl only imagine the violence that we actually experience.” Their performance of fear is rooted in imagining situations where they’re treated like Black ppl. But it rarely translates to empathy or changed behavior.

Black women don’t need more praise for being “strong.” We need more support so we don’t have to be.

There’s such violence in the expectation to be calm through abuse

Imagine feeling proud of a Constitution, a Revolution or a system of government created 200 years ago by people who look like you. If you’re gonna say “we” while extolling America’s virtues and past triumphs, you can’t say “them” when someone brings up the sins,

Allow me to introduce you to the most ridiculous yet amazing thing you will see this week.

Dog Bus In Alaska, a married couple is engaged in dog walking and supervision of them. To do this, they even purchased a bus to conveniently and safely pick up pets, like children to school. Dogs spend all day together, have fun, eat, and then they are transported to the houses
