The Business of Anti-Racism

Image
           Certain social media platforms have afforded faux activists the ability to monetize their phantom movements.  People have gone from wanting to gain fame from [actual] talent, chasing infamy, and more to pretending to work for the equity of the BIPOC community for financial gain and popularity.         Before you chime in with your agreement...take a moment and cease with the list you are formulating in your head.  Truly think.  I am sure that there are a plethora of non-BIPOC individuals that you will proclaim are doing such.  You are NOT wrong.  There are a number of pale Patsys and Patricks that do just this...But, you are negating (or failing to notice) the members of the BIPOC community that do this as well.        Sadly, the history of melanated coontastic coalition members [also] sees us as nothing more than financial gain and a stepping stone to the fame that they c...

Holiday Holiness

Image
          It is approaching that time of the year when everyone pretends to be holier than thou.  Once we waltz past Halloween, everyone is anti-racist, family-oriented, and peaches n cream. *gag* In will come the flooding of pictures featuring people who are (typically) only gossiped about and posts about the "educating of racist" kindred. 😏       Tis the season of faux spirituality and unbreakable familial bonds.  Tis the season of racial/homophobic/etc. rejection.  Tis the season of fakery and forced fellowship.       As the temperatures decrease, the need for humans (especially within the US) to congregate and seem more wholesome than they actually are increases.  There is something about the [Christian] holiday season that makes people want to prove their sanctity by surrounding them with whom they avoid and degrade every other time during the year.  Just as with most other things in this PR...

What Cult Has Your Membership?

Image
      We are all familiar with the cult of MAGA headed by the boisterous and blissfully stupid Donald J. Trump.  But my question to you is, what cult has your membership and devotion to? Confused? Let us discuss this a bit.  Just as the members of MAGA are unaware of their membership, you may be unaware of your attachment to a cult.   There are the "Barbs" with their bullying tactics, there are also micro cults that many take little to no note of.  The cults attached to prominent social media influencers, ones that are adjoined to familial cliques, and those associated with share ideologies.        Many of you are in the cult of popularity and excuses.  You will double down with excuses for whomever you can gain popularity from (in your mind) through proximity.  You will offer understanding and [pseudo] reasoning to anything they say or do; because you need their good standing to remain intact so that you never h...

Will Litigation End Disinformation?

Image
      In light of the recent judgments AGAINST (shock jock) Alex Jones, one would think that the [heightened] era of disinformation would close.  One would be wrong.  Although thus far, he has been ordered to pay over 1 BILLION dollars, he (nor his comrades) have STOPPED their utter and blatant lies.  They won't.  They will NOT risk losing the popularity that affords them the ability to grift so easily.        After his last judgment, Marjorie Taylor Greene took to Twitter to show her support and CONTINUED to lie about events that unfolded before all of our eyes.  Let me repeat that last part...EVENTS THAT UNFOLDED BEFORE ALL OF OUR EYES.  Therefore there are those among us that CHOOSE to enjoy being lied to and denying current events/tragedies within history.  Once you acknowledge that, you will understand that disinformation (and misinformation) is here to stay.      There is a [certain] subset o...

When Will the Goalpost Become Stationary

Image
       When it comes to nationalism within the US, the goalpost continues to move as if it were a river flowing through the land.  When will it become stationary? When will the masses say "enough is enough"? I ask because we have the power and ability to cease its movement at any given time...YET WE DO NOT.  We will sit back and poke fun at how no tale keeps its details and no reasonings remain consistent.  Problematic issues within this country continue to receive alterations to their origin stories.      One moment, there is no racism in this cesspool of a country, then the narrative is that straight, white, Christian men are the most oppressed at this time and white people are receiving high levels of racism.  Make it make sense!!!!!! First, the vaccine was a "bad jab" and rolled out too quickly, then it should be credited to Trump.  The narratives change faster than an exotic dancer at a popular gentlemen's club. ...

The Groundhog Day History of the US

Image
           Are you truly shocked that the "platform" of conservatives is White Nationalism & Christian Nationalism? The United States has worked overtime to NOT teach actual history, therefore there are people within the land that have zero clue that they are [now] standing on the side of history that they (previously) bragged about their parents/grandparents fought AGAINST.  Certain pale (and pale adjacent) residents of the US are vehemently rallying against CRT, implicit bias training, equity in policy & politics, and open dialogue regarding the oppression within the country.        Those that descend from the originators of oppression are now (right on schedule) proclaiming themselves to be [the most] oppressed (ever).  They are clueless about the history they have resurrected with this mindset and game plan.  Their ancestors deemed themselves oppressed when they were having trouble serving on land that the...

When Will You (FINALLY) Read the Writings on the Wall?

Image
                 All week long, I have sat back and watched cyberspace lose its (collective) minds regarding the (on par for the brand) monologue of Candace Owens.  Her most recent claims are that she doesn't want to be a part of [Black culture] and wants to go back in time.  Most are paused at her last quote...the reversal of time.  To when? To when she was receiving death threats and ridiculed by the White community of her area (at the time)? Further back? Highly doubtful.       She has moved into a Black space via proximity to Kanye West .  She can scream publicly how much she is anti-Black culture and community, but it's clear that she wants a prime position in the club.  It has ALWAYS been fervently clear with her and the rest of the prominent coontastic coalition members.  They tap dance for MONEY while desiring the comradery of their skin folk.  They are well aware of the (vehement) ind...

If You Think Black People Are Silent, You're in an Anti-Black Echo Chamber

Image
     After Kanye West's latest rounds of antics , there are a number of non-Black people proclaiming that Black people are NOT calling him in.  This is laughably FALSE.  They aren't seeing the THOUSANDS of consequences being handed to him via the Black community because they have taken up residence in echo chambers void of melanin.  Additionally, they aren't even looking to see if anyone from the community that West uses as needed has had anything to say.  They have even IGNORED various news articles detailing the calling in of Ye by BLACK PEOPLE.        Yeezy deciding to go on a despicable anti-semitic rant on Twitter has caused people to (once again) FORGET THAT BLACK JEWISH PEOPLE EXIST.  It is that demographic that has been extremely vocal about how egregious his rant was.  They are by far the MOST qualified to call him in.        But, have you noticed that the same people claiming that w...

Kanye West: The (In)Convenient Black Man

Image
         Kanye West wears his blackness when convenient and profitable to him, and only then.  many believe that the passing of his mother caused him to derail...but did it really? He rides trends harder than Only Fans creators ride one another.  When Bush was NOT taking proper care of Black residents post-Katrina , West was on the front lines to criticize the treatment of "his people". Yet, when Trump came along and disrespected EVERY non-white resident of the land...he rode the money wave into the coontastic coalition.        As Kanye harassed his estranged wife (after spending YEARS promoting her as an earthbound angel) he was a downtrodden Black man being done wrong by an evil white family.  Yet, when it is time to increase sales during fashion week, he is no longer a depraved melanated man, and those working to ensure his (and his children's) equity are the devil.        To Kanye , oppression...

White Women: A Life Void of Boundary Acceptance

Image
           Recently, a #vanlife, #moderenhippie aesthetic-wearing white woman [Tess McEwen] decided to (gleefully) invade and disrespect the spiritual space of an Indigenous people of Mexico.  Her pride was more than evident as she explained the rules regarding the space and as she sprinkled in a racial trope right before doing the opposite of what was asked of her.      The BIPOC community united and pointed out her disrespect and the consequences that were plausible due to her Columbusing.  Yet, just like with everything "white woman" she had supporters that excused her actions, vowed to repost her video should it be removed, and accepted her smirk-ridden fauxpology.  Once again, the default damsels reminded the rest of us that they are never alone in their despicable behavior.      Speaking of NOT being alone... has anyone taken the time to determine who was with her during her ill-gotten visit to said sacred ...

True Crime & Black Trauma Erasure

Image
       With the release of the latest romanticized look into the cruelty that is Jeffrey Dahmer, the disregard for Black trauma has become [more] prevalent.  Anglo girls, gays, and they have (once again) proven that they will quicker fawn over the "conventional attractiveness" of a monster than acknowledge the damage incurred by their melanated counterparts.        Unlike when the [agreeably] attractive Charlize Theron portrayed Aileen Wuornos in the movie "Monster" (2003), her appearance was altered so that the message and severity of the crimes were NOT missed.  Wuornos was a "woman of the night" that proclaimed that she merely murdered the men that had violated her in the worst way.  Guess what...she wasn't sexualized or given  "forgiveness" due to her story being told.       Yet, oddly attractive, Evan Peters, is gaining a cult following for "making Dahmer a heartthrob". The Black and Brown, queer...

It has NEVER Been About Morality, It's ALWAYS Been About Power

Image
              Herschel Walker and his latest uncovered lie are making headline news because he is an IDIOT that happens to be Black.  we have been bombarded with the hypocrisy of the GOP since the party switch (and even times prior to that).  From the amount of anti-LGBTQIA+ GOP members being outed as having children within the community or a gay lover themselves...why are you all in shock? Conservative women have admitted to (previously) having abortions ...regretting their decisions and now wanting to force their new views upon others.  Walker is FAR from the only conservative member of the GOP to have an extramarital affair either.  He is Black with a flamboyant son that NO ONE has ever believed he was close to and said offspring did the millennial thing and outed him (finally) on social media.      No one batted an eye when Rudy Guliani's daughter backed Biden and aired out her insane in the membrane sperm donor....

Who Is Truly the Beauty Standard?

Image
      For quite a while, we have all been force-fed the idea that the Anglo woman was the beauty standard.  But....has that really been true? Let us take a stroll back through history just a bit.  Saartjie "Sara"  Baartman was paraded about the US and the UK due to her body which was deemed "exotic" by Anglo enslavers.  Even after her death, her body was sexualized, coveted, and studied.      Also, let us NOT forget the number of women that were fervently jealous of the SLAVE women that were VICTIMS of their OWNERS.  There were white women during the antebellum that clutched their pearls whenever sharing air with Black women, especially in the company of their white husbands.  Their disdain went beyond body types, it extended to the crowns of Black women, which led to Tignon Law .  Non-black people ensured that Black hair was demonized and made illegal while they dawned the cultural styles themselves to high praises....
