It’s high time to take off the commemorative t-shirts and ball caps. (Yes that means telling the old folks, top—gently.) We got played by a half “off the boat”/ half white political con artist who NEVER cared for or about us & never had our community’s best interest in mind! He only used us(Michelle, too) as a cover…

Live fire testing on non-northern European targets. Some things you can’t simulate with smaller scale police actions. 

I got the same queazy vibe from the article. It’s accurate that Black people - immigrant or otherwise - take the brunt of discrimination in this country, and most bigots won’t bother to discern between a Haitian and a Nigerian. But the lump-sum approach Namaste took in this article seemed shortsighted, uninformed, and…

When the AIDS epidemic really got underway, they were the scapegoats.

I’m very confused over how this is happening even though we voted out fascism. A real head-scratcher.

Haiti freed itself from slavery, and for that the West will never forgive them.

This is why DHS and all its arms (ICE, etc) need to be abolished and reimagined. The current system is designed to use cruelty as its main deterrent.

The U.S. didn’t even recognize Haiti as a country until 1862 (i.e. during the midst of the Civil War), almost 60 years after Saint-Domingue was consigned to the ashbin of history. It was absolutely, one million percent rooted in the abject fear Southern slaveholders had of a violent slave uprising. Which, of course…

I thought Joe Biden was the “Caring in Chief” or whatever the hell people were calling him?

Not supporting the apartheid state of Israel is not antisemitism and to conflate the two is a goddamn lie which shows that some people are not arguing in good faith (or any damn faith for that matter.)

Biden is a bowl of dog shit. He’ll also be the reason Republicans take control of Congress in 2022 and the Presidency in 2024.  Black Democrats would rather complain about how shitty the country is than actually give progressives a chance to fix it.

I don’t expect to see much if any comments about that. It’s a goddamn problem. I bet you’ll hear those same centrists talk about how they need you to give them money to deal with the onslaught from Republican PACs though.

and work their endorsements within the system to assure their pet policy proposals.

These fucking dickheads who cape for centrist assholes are so goddamn disgusting they can’t even keep the misogynoir out of their goddamn mouths when they trash a progressive Black woman on a Black site.

I hope it’s worth it, Democrats, having to lie about an opponent to keep the centrists in power.

There is no way to discuss Nina Turners lost to Shontel Brown without addressing the tremendous amount of money the pro-Israel lobby poured into supporting Brown. Once again we’ve elected a black face with a mostly pro-Israel agenda yet we are not allowed to talk about that phenomenon. I'm getting tired of that kind…

The Supreme Court ruled no such thing. That case involved the CDC’s moratorium, which it left in place. Nothing said that no other agency had the authority, and there is nothing binding/definitive in the Court’s opinion that the CDC didn’t have authority.

War criminal.

Absolutely! But for so many of us in the black community we are still blinded by the 1st black president phenomenon; which is cool, but let’s not lose sight of reality.
