i hate the term "POC" i honestly dont know why people who identify as such use it.

it reads as this:

person.

and then there's a person of color.

i'm not anybody's exception. it makes white the standard.

They’re calling us doomers for naming lethal sociopolitical patterns that have existed for centuries, calling out reality, and insisting that they act differently

We’ve been through unconscionable brutality, maybe listen to us?

You might live in praxis, but we’ve been forced to live in practice

For the first time, we now know how many Black-owned bookstores exist in the U.S. The National Association of Black Bookstores has released the β€œfirst comprehensive national report” on the state of America’s Black-owned bookstores.

There has never been an official, comprehensive record of Black-owned bookstores across the United States β€” until now

I’ve been trying to find this documentary forever. Thank you for sharing so I can forward it to some people who really need their eyes opened πŸ™πŸΎ

some friendly advice: if you’re not Black and you see two Black people talking to each other on here, consider the possibility that the dialect is more unfamiliar to you than you think it is and the unspoken communication that is obvious to them may not be obvious to you

Y'all be thinkin your white mutuals are cool people but I be scrolling through BHM to see if they shared ANYTHING Black at all.

They very rarely do and y'all should honestly check. Lol..

Iranians Who Seized U.S. Embassy Release 4 Women and 6 Black Men (Published 1979)

The United States's "beef" with Iran started during the 1979 Hostage Crisis, where they held 62 American hostages they believed were spies.

What they dont tell you is they released all the Black hostages because they considered American Blacks to be oppressed

(And also, the "culture discussions don't get traction here" argument is a white user problem. We don't have that problem on Blacksky.)

OMG DO IT. I played for hours today. It’s really well done and accessible. And so forgiving! Let me know if you get into it. It’s my β€œmain game” right now. I’m slow at but I’m loving it. And it’s great that it’s super cute too ☺️

If you’re 3 people walking side by side on the sidewalk toward me

and one of you doesn’t move

I’m not walking on the street or the grass

I guess we’re just gonna have to run into each other πŸ€·πŸΎβ€β™€οΈ

(And yes, you know what kind of people refuse to move for someone who looks like me)

I was just in my feelings reading reading an obituary on a funeral website and a pop-up ad came up. Why?

Yes! I was listening to the soundtrack this morning. So many feelings.

the only reason corporations ever put a woman of color in charge is if that person is going to have to publicly eat shit in a big way. sarah bond has clearly chosen not to be microsoft's sin eater, and asha sharma has taken on that role.

β€œNatural flavorings” in the ingredients list often include castoreum, which is derived from beaver castor sacs and often mixed with urine and anal gland secretions. The American food industry is fucked, knowledge is power
