Academia is full of out of touch self-aggrandizing bullies who weaponize knowledge for individual mobility instead of social good. Happy Friday.

This is the house that neoliberal black studies built. Blatant ahistoricism, digital caricature, and total ethical bankruptcy, all so folks can ‘feel good’. Enjoy!
These images, skillfully crafted by Cepéda Brunson using AI, highlight the liberating potential of artificial intelligence in addressing the scarcity of affirming images of black people in historical archives. While African Americans played a pivotal role in shaping the Old West,

Why do historical movies about slavery and Jim Crow ALWAYS craft a white man savior out of thin air? Hard pass.

Fully projecting their trauma onto their babies, generation after generation. Breaking those curses is HELL.

Black gay men are not harder to love than any other gay man. This myth that we are uniquely difficult and require extra patience to be with is just more white supremacist programming IMO. If you want a white bae or a non-Black POC partner just say that.

Not her singing the chorus to Lady Marmalade and saying “I still don’t know what it means, but it’s dirty.” 😂

The black middle class will always disavow the plight of the common black to uplift their own, because allegiance to empire requires complete cultural and historical amnesia.
"American Fiction" Oscar-winner Cord Jefferson on what the film's success means: "There is a market for depictions of Black life that are as broad and as deep as any other depictions of people's lives"

Your gift has little to do with the fact that this painting is deeply fetishistic and feeds into the same objectifying cultural norms that reduce black men to sex toys and, more importantly, sent your muse D’Angelo into a decade-long addiction spiral. Consider that instead.

Calling for a total and complete shutdown of mixed people’s opinions until our country's representatives can figure out what the hell is going on
"There were Black people who were triggered by seeing something that they weren't ready to admit to themselves." Justice Smith talks about the focus group reaction to "The American Society of Magical Negroes."

That said, some of us actually prefer when R&B goes heavy on the blues so keep making the songs cry, sis.
Ignoring songs like Sos, Psa,concieted, low,forgiveless, seek n destroy, notice me, or ex pack . To pretend I only make sad girl music is dumb

I've always said, straight men talk about gay sex more than gay people actually have gay sex.

Y’all forget that white people also read those asinine viral tweets where niggas over-explain every facet of the ‘black experience’. Why would you make the culture vultures’ jobs that much easier?

Let's not make broad generalizations to prove a point. Monkeypox has absolutely not gone away, it did not/does not "largely effect" gay men because it is not a ‘gay’ virus, and COVID is a governmental failure, not an individual problem. Thank you.
It went away because the community it was largely effecting all went and got vaccinated immediately and followed health/safety protocols. Unlike what folks did with Covid.

Now let’s not lie. Y’all can hate Azealia Banks all you want but to pretend like she isn’t an incredibly versatile lyricist with a distinct aesthetic that the girls continue to jock is deeply serious.
if we being fr Azealia does not be talking about anything 😭 they just gay and clinging to 1991 and 212

The stark difference between Imani Perry’s nuanced, meticulously researched essay about Gayl Jones and Hilton Als’ “review” (if you can call it that) of her latest work is kind of mind-boggling and incredibly sad.
