The Catholic Church’s influence goes beyond the French, and the Catholics are still abusing people. This is about more than a building that people like to associate with art - that is already gaining tremendous financial support for its repairs - as though it exists in a vacuum and it doesn’t. The statue honoring the…

Oh yes, being glad a symbol representing an institution that literally boiled my ancestors alive is off of its pedestal is clearly playing into #FFFFFF Supremacy. Do y’all always reach into the Andromeda galaxy with these false equivalencies?

I’m going to pretend you’re being willfully-obtuse about the Catholic Church’s role in our oppression.

Like I said. It’s not a tragedy to some of us, and for a very good reason. We will compare these things. What you look at as “art” we look at as endemic of centuries of elitism and oppression that continue into the present. And considering how the French have been protesting Macron’s neoliberal economic policies for…

Ah yes, you’re glad a building literally representing the rape, enslavement, and devastation of millions of Africans and Indigenous people not including the sexual abuse of children and women gets more tears and sympathy than the hundreds if not possibly thousand or more who died recently at Idai, those being…

Way more than 3,000 were killed. The gov’t refused to even acknowledge people were dying in droves while entire ICUs in hospitals lost power and morgues literally overflowed. And most definitely fuck Nestlé for what they’re doing to the people of Flint. That said, not surprised by Diet Underwood. He loves glorifying…

Got extended fam who graduated from Morehouse. This is def big because even the Gay and Bi community in Morehouse was biased against trans men at one point. Can’t say if they still are though I’d like to hope that’s changed. I want to see them normalize promoting and uplifting these guys as much as they do cishets…

*Plays Jurassic Park theme*

Always. High probability of SUDEP so it’s something you just accept as inevitable.

I really hope folks see he was more than a fucking “banger” killed in gun violence. Dude employed felons, fed communities and bought school supplies for neighborhoods, established STEM programs, anti-gentrification initiatives, even spoke at Town Hall and advocated for a helluva lot of shyt no one gives him credit…

The valid criticism is evidenced by the way a lot of people are trying to enforce an echo chamber or groupthink. Folks aren’t automatically going to like a politician, no matter how favorable they may seem to other constituents. And Bernie, Warren, etc., get criticized all the time on matters other than policy and…

I’ve really been waiting on HR40 to finally make waves. This is monumental.

Her point literally has nothing to do with her being “too educated”. We just want to hold folks who claim to represent us to a higher standard but ironically, since she’s the new fave right now, people act worse than Berniebros did whenever the folks who actually will be impacted the most by her voice criticisms, and…

You’re right.

Yeah. There are clearly things meriting cancellation, etc., but now among some of these politicians it’s devolved into a “gotcha!” competition for clout when several of the biggest proponents of this have been guilty of similar problems in their political history. That said, there’s shyt that’s been normalized that we…

This lowkey came up when I first heard the dude’s name, but it never clicked until now.

I’m excited about this, but at the same time skeptical because the big gangs do this every so often and then go right back to what they were doing before. If they really want to show solidarity, they should make it last, because Nipsey literally died the day before he planned to tackle that. 

Oh, I definitely don’t think it will go away. Have a friend running for city council in Houston who receives it a lot, especially since he’s heavily-involved in BLM activism and gay, among other things. But I feel what you’re saying ultimately.

Cool. Nobody else cares, but cool.

Go stan somewhere else. Puerto Ricans do not need you to care when discussing matters relevant to us.
