101 yrs ago this week. White terrorists murdered over 100 ppl in East St. Louis, across the river from St. Louis. “For an hour and a half I saw the massacre of helpless negroes at Broadway and Fourth Street where black skin was a death warrant." https://m.riverfronttimes.com/newsblog/2017/06/28/first-hand-accounts-show-the-horror-of-east-louis-1917-race-riot

I have no interest in competitive conversations about oppression between Natives and Black ppl. I simply won't engage, so pls don't ever try to tag me in. I hate that these convos even happen, as they strike me as an incredibly harmful waste of time and energy.

@beautifuldeson1 One of the greatest misjudgments made in my life was assuming that education without assimilation was “easy” for “my” people🙊👿 ...I approached higher education with a view that @MrChuckD would call “intellectual Vietnam”🛂 and I was biased for a technical education🔬

@LeftOfBlack @NBCNewsTHINK The Black scholarly term for this is “petty apartheid”... I do not know who coined this term as I was a dumb kid in the 1980s👶 but @NewBlackMan prolly knows.

Stop referring to authentic African culture as Wakandan culture. It’s rude & offensive. Africa is a real continent with real countries. WAKANDA IS NOT REAL.

Why is it easier to get nonprofit grants than straight up investments within Africa ? Let me be great please!

@digitalafrican I can help to answer your question in small, small part by stating that I have a few shares of NAFAX (https://www.marketwatch.com/investing/fund/nafax) and in that instrument is a Kenyan insurance company that I helplessly hope is not owned entirely by people of European descent🙈🏦😿

@digitalafrican The name of this company is Kenya Reinsurance Corp. Ltd. (and @digitalafrican is from Kenya, right?) so I have been looking for “conventional” ways to invest in Africa and then there is stuff like http://kiva.org/ that is next on my list but I got U.S. fam too 👶🏦👶

I talked to a black woman today about the future of African people in America. I love talking to older politically conscious black women. She said to me "if black men and women don't start talking to each other again, we're going to die off here". #BlackLove https://twitter.com/ZuluPanther/status/1004165475755085824/photo/1

Black men love them some black women. Just because a couple date outside the race doesn’t mean the majority of black men don’t love our ass

@elleira__ Wow it's getting easier and easier to find young sisters and brothers making sense on social media💪👶I have been an adult for several decades and I have never heard or seen a BM reject a BW for a non-BW---now what kind of women on average directly approach or respond to BM?

"Acceptance by white society". That has been one of the biggest desires of our people, whether or not we want to admit it. It has also been the root of one of our biggest downfalls. Do you agree?

White supremacy is a religion. And the god is white skin. And white skin absolves you almost any sin you commit against non whites. And it affords you prosperity often at the expense and brutal enslavement of non white people

young bruh, my person is a product designed and built by Black women for Black women but the customers return the product as defective because of the learning curve: she has to know how these things are designed and why one would “waste” their life building it in the first place.

@BreeNewsome Let me guess based on years of social media experience: no response for the self-described black women who actually support patriarchy which we can infer by the latest British Imperial marriage ceremony. I can denounce patriarchy all day long and will continue to do so.
