Nothing about this "Kim Other Phone" business is funny. I'm not a fan of the Kardashians by any stretch of the imagination. But Kanye is behaving like an abuser. Anyone who works in this field knows where this is headed.
Correction: It was an aviation camp. Real picture, but at an aviation camp. Trayvon was very interested in aviation. And the premise still stands-the media refused to show this side of him.
@DarlingEbony
It was Experience Aviation and not Space Camp. I only point this out because it's founder
@Captainirving
is an inspiration. He's dedicated to empowering minority youth to get into aviation. Irving was the youngest person AND first black pilot to fly solo around the world.
Some of you may be asking what this is the last stand of? Well, what James Woods is expressing is the stand for White Supremacy. The America they are concerned about being gone forever is White America. White Supremacy fighting for its survival. This is not a dog whistle.
Alec Baldwin killed a co-worker accidentally on the set. There have been 3 accidental gun deaths on movie & TV sets in the last 35 years. 311,000 students have experienced gun violence in school since Columbine in 1998, 24 years ago. This is the definition of false equivalency.
I am annoyed that the video of Ashli Babbitt in the Capitol is blurred out. I'm annoyed because when we are killed by the police, those videos are in vivid technicolor. But somehow it's too graphic to see a white woman get killed.
I can't believe that the "right" struggles so hard to treat David Hogg and his classmates like what they really are - traumatized young people who are the victims of gun violence. And then you wonder why people want to take your guns. Maybe because you are unhinged.
So we have Black Twitter (which includes whole African Diaspora), Irish Twitter, Desi/Indian Twitter and Native American/First Nations Twitter. That's a lot of global damage.
Corey Feldman said that both he and Corey Haim had been raped by Hollywood big wigs. He said Corey Haim never recovered emotionally. And he was ridiculed for telling the truth. Charlie Sheen is beyond trash. No words.
@reesetheone1
I keep telling ppl, these folks are preparing for Civil War. No one in their right mind uses an AR-15 chambered in .223/5.56 or higher to kill a raccoon. Most ppl w/any sense use .22LR or 17 HMR (very small bullets) to kill small varmint. That's why they're called varmint rounds
Eugene Goodman is not the first Black police officer to save this country. As folks honor him, also remember Frank Wills, who discovered Nixon's Watergate Scandal. Hopefully, Mr. Goodman will get the respect that Mr. Wills never received.
Here's the thing people need to realize when they fix their mouths to imply Black voters are "low-educated". Black voters have known for 60 yrs the GOP was headed to the point it is at now. We tried to warn this country for 60 yrs. We were told we were playing the "race card".
I am curious as to how Woody Allen could have all of these scripts about being with young women (some of whom are underage). Marry his stepdaughter. And yet people somehow find it more believable that Mia Farrow was just bitter and coached Dylan?
#AllenVFarrow
Cue the white boys using Tony Dungy's words to excuse Drew Brees. They will completely ignore the "let's talk about this". Why? Because they don't want to talk about this. If talking worked, there wouldn't be a 400 year old racial problem in the US right now.

There is no such thing as the "race card". The race card is a term white ppl who don't want to deal with their systemic racism use to victim blame. It's so white people can pretend they haven't done anything for 400 years. Don't like the "race card"? Stop dealing it from the deck
This tweet just re-iterates something that has already been said many times. To paraphrase: "Racism is so woven into the fabric of America that when people speak out against racism white people view it as an attack on America".
Killer Mike clearly has not studied NRA history. When the Black Panthers were defending themselves against police brutality, which was/is tyrannical government & the very thing that

Some of these questions show ppl don't know how the roll call works. Only 2 candidates were eligible to get delegates, Bernie and Joe. As such, both of their names had to be formally put into nomination. So did AOC just nominate Bernie? Yes, bc that's what she was SUPPOSED to do.

folks who scoff at "No guns permitted" signs. They don't want their "freedom" hindered. Well...he is really free now.
First thing I see on this app is a bunch of white folks complaining that Richard Gere is encouraging an "invasion" of Europe. The irony of the outrage would be hilarious if it weren't so dangerous.
This is the intention of DeSantis and all the other GOP racists when they decry woke. It's an old GOP, Southern Strategy Playbook. Lee Atwater, Reagan's strategist and Karl Rove's mentor explained it well. They can't say the N-word, so woke is the new "abstract" and "code"
Dianne Feinstein's body isn't even cold and Miss Anne (also known as Katie Porter) has surrogates campaigning for her appointment to the Senate seat. This is yet another reason why it is hard to trust white Democrats and WW. Y'all are showing your behinds.
"I AM AN INNOCENT MAN" are the words of someone who is flailing and unhinged. This man never should have been allowed within 1 vote of the Presidency. But white supremacy reigned supreme. We will be paying for 2016 for the rest of our lives.

Here we go again with this b.s. They are ignoring that Morgan Freeman first said Black History is American History. But they do not want to teach Black History as part of American History. They want to tell white lies (pun intended) and call it history.
As a descendant of Haitians, I would like to remind Trumpkins that Haiti fought along side of what eventually became the U.S. in the American Revolution. In other words, Haitians fought for this country before many of your ancestors set foot on it's shores. Haiti and African
This was not a "pro-Trump mob". These were domestic terrorists. So this should read: "An Olympic Gold Medalist, the swimmer Klete Keller, is a domestic terrorist who committed insurrection in the Capitol". Fixed that for you.
An Olympic gold medalist, the swimmer Klete Keller, was part of the pro-Trump mob that sieged the Capitol, former teammates and coaches who identified him said. If confirmed by the authorities, he may face federal charges.

The neighbor said in an interview that he feels guilty for calling the police. He was trying to do the right thing. This is the police officer's fault and no one else's.
Cornel West is jealous of Ta-Nehisi Coates. We have seen this record play before. He did the same thing with Michael Eric Dyson. He is the proverbial crab in a barrel. While we are all about to suffer from

5 reasons you all are mad at Meghan Markle right now:
1. She has Black blood
2. She has Black blood
3. She has Black blood
4. She has Black blood
5. When you say she's "politicizing" Uvalde, you really mean is you want it to fade from headlines so it can be GOP Business as usual.
Dana Bash wanted MVP Harris to defend her Blackness and MVP made her look like a fool. White reporters as a collective are just as racist as Donald Trump. In fact, that's part of the reason this race is so close. White supremacy in the fabric of the country.
The fact 6 Reps will not come over to the Dems & make Hakeem Jeffries Speaker of the House shows the entire GOP is committed to hate. They agree with MAGA. They just don't like MAGA is so overt. They are willing to completely break this country than share.

I knew Common in Chicago before he became what he was. He gets BW with all that "conscious" "spiritual talk". He has been playing that card for 30 years.

Isn't this Mark Burnett's wife? The same Mark Burnett, who has on tape Trump calling an Apprentice Contestant the N-word, but refuses to allow said tape to be released?
If you go to the Jim Crow 2.0 thread, there are a lot of "Black accounts" supporting the GQP in voter suppression. Yet...strangely, if you look, none of these "Black accounts" are followed by Black people. They are not followed by any people that we know. Isn't that interesting?
My first rapist was getting his PhD at one of the top universities. The gist of what I was told was I shouldn’t bring a “good Black man” down. I was pressured to be quiet. I didn’t report the second rape because of how I was treated when the first happened.

You would if you were old and the guy trying to beating you up is young. Let's not do this. That man never should have been charged in the first place.
Little girl, Black ppl are some of the most sophisticated voters in this country. We vote the way we do b/c we know white ppl. Our knowledge of white ppl is how we have survived the heap of crap dumped on us for 400 yrs. We know who white people are more likely to vote for. 1/2
This is why saying “vote” without giving context (who for, why them, platforms, etc) is not very helpful. Maybe they go vote for a democratic candidate in the primary because they recognize the last name or something, even though another dem candidate would be the better choice.
This is why I was Team Will from the moment this happened. Chris Rock has a history of mocking Black women and letting his white friends use the N-word.
Chris Rock revealed he watched "Emancipation" so he could see Will Smith being whipped.
In the film which is based on a true story, Smith plays a slave in Louisiana who decides to escape after being whipped almost to death.
I'm listening to this trial live. And the newscasters are squarely on

was "confused" and not "listening to commands". What the fuck was she doing "commanding" in the first damn place. Cops can kill us when they want.
The vapidity of the concept of "whiteness" and its attendant conclusions reaches its apex in the Whoopi discourse. She clearly is influenced by ideas from CRT that racism only flows one-way (white on black) & hence deconstructs the Holocaust through a dichotomous, racialized lens
If you had said to many of us, who were Black college students in the 1990's, the day would come were Cornel West would erode credibility among so many of us by the time we reached out 40's, we would have cussed you out. That how stark this change is.

I'm cynical. I think she may be doing it to save their assets before everything is gone. Can't tell me that she suddenly found out he was a racist POS.
The only other option, IMHO, is he was abusive to her and she's taking a chance to get out.
@monaeltahawy
I said this the other day. I am sick of people pretending that white women are not voting in the interest of white supremacy. They believe that the white privilege they get from white supremacy supersedes any gender oppression. FACT: White women are white first and women second.

When is their arrest? If I put my knee on someone's neck and caused their deaths, I would be arrested for murder and thrown in jail, rightfully so. I need to know why they have not been arrested for murder and for obstruction of justice.

In 10 years, she will be 41 years old. She will be eligible for parole in 5 years, at the age of 36. Still a young woman either way. She can still get married. Have children. Live to see her grandchildren grow up.

My favorite Jeremy Renner film is "Kill the Messenger". It talks about how the Reagan and Oliver North dumped drugs in the Black Community to fund the contras. Renner played Gary Webb, who exposed it all, and they drove him to suicide after trying to discredit him.
This is why Black folks need to get armed & trained to defend themselves. The very ppl who are supposed to be protecting us are the terrorists. This is nothing new. Police officers would often take our ancestors to be lynched by angry mobs.
Here is my frustration with white progressives. They tend to wake up to some shit that the rest of us have known about for decades and their impulses are to a) educate you to some shit you already knew and b) reflexively want to "burn it all down" now that they know.
@DeanObeidallah
For Black people, voter suppression (WAITING 6 HOURS TO VOTE!) is our
#RiggedPrimary
. Every election, primaries and generals, are rigged against Black People because of white supremacy and the resulting voter suppression.
@blaireerskine
In 2016, Black voters were thinking 10 steps ahead of what white voters were. Our survival requires that we be more strategic in voting. We've been at this came for many years. In other words, you should be listening instead of talking in this moment.
Selma Blair said what now? But what is really getting me is everyone ignoring Michael Rapaport's reply. He said: "Love it!". I swear everyone has lost their damn minds and are showing their asses.
This is 2016 all over again. You all should see by now that once you lose rights, they are very hard to get back. Voting Rights and Roe are prime examples. But please continue with the foolishness.
He executed a Black woman right after she yelled she was pregnant. And true to form they are posting her mugshot.

White kids who are the inheritors of global white supremacy lecturing a Black person about the need to stand with marginalized people. The caucasity of it all.
NEW: Protestors occupying the chancellor's office at Vanderbilt try to shame a black police officer:
"You are black in America, and you're NOT standing with the marginalized people of the world. What does that make you?!"
Charlemagne is weak. Larry Elder's whole argument is blown up by the FACT that the GOP attempted a coup on January 6 because Black ppl voted. They tried to steal an election b/c we voted. They passed or tried to pass over 300 voter suppression laws b/c Black ppl voted.
