I saw Sha’Carri go live on IG. That sister has found her peace. I’m so happy for her. She just beat Shericka Jamaican Gold Medalist. Sha’Carri might get in her Flow Jo bag soon. And LOL at all the sponsors that dropped her only to call her back now. The price is different.

I think this is more than just striving to be hip and appeal to a certain demographic. I think they do this to devalue our art forms as well.

Elon Musk, born to a white supremacist father, is himself a white supremacist. Nothing he or his pro-apartheid cult say about slavery surprises me. It's up to us as black people to always control the narrative of what happened to our ancestors. We must read, learn, and tell their.

Marcus Garvey worked for and organized against The United Fruit Company when he was in Costa Rica. Marcus Garvey saw the UFC exploiting the labor of black and indigenous workers who were subjected to poor working conditions and low wages. The United Fruit Company is now Chiquita.

Latinos aren’t trying to take credit for hip hop. NYC was and is a melting pot. To act like Puerto Ricans weren’t there doesn’t make sense to me. They lived in the projects too. Especially when we talk about B Boy’ng and Grafitti.
White folks falsely took credit for roc n roll, now Latinos are trying to take credit for hip hop. Errbody wants credit for the creative genius of Black people.

Gil Scott Heron had a song called Whitey On The Moon where he talked about being in poverty while “whitey’s on the moon”. I can’t help but get those vibes about the rich people on that submarine. Whitey in the ocean I suppose. Rich people often think money makes them invincible.

You FBA’s are idiots. Negro Leaguers played winter ball in places like Cuba, Mexico, Puerto Rico and the DR. They even said they got treated better there than they did in the states. The Negro League also had Black Latin ball players like Martin Dihigo who was one of the greatest
Isn't it funny that black American ball players help put baseball on the map. And now you got immigrants and cosplaying blacks interviewing a foundational black American, who broke through barriers of racism so much so, that melanated immigrants can even play the game called.
