There’s probably a way to do a smart piece like this that interrogates whiteness and masculinity, but this just sort of follows around a random kid and presses him abt things he hasn’t thought too deeply abt. (Bc he’s 17.)
Also, curious that he was chosen as a subject. Even for a white Republican kid in an essentially all-white Republican town that went handily for Trump, his life is essentially socially frictionless: not a lot of friends; not in any clubs; doesn’t play sports.
He’s not even in community with all the ppl around him who are just like him!
The most interesting thing about him is that he’s 6’5.

I don’t care if you can’t hoop: you better go out there on the floor and take up space and get you a scholarship, homie.
Anyway: weird story that is not terribly illuminating and is kind of boring!

@Smadams1019 the short version:

-people got teased as kids for being awkward around other Black people — "acting white"

-they often internalized that as being about bookishness or good grades and say "Blacks kids said i wasn't Black enough bc I was smart"
@Smadams1019 - that interpretation get cosigned by white ppl, who are of course, vested in the notion that Black ppl have a dysfunctional culture opposed to learning

-the awkward Black kid, now adult, has metabolized the notion that Black people don't like them bc they're not "ghetto"
@Smadams1019 - that person, now adult, is still awkward around Black people but now has created a whole self-aggrandizing and self-fulfilling framework around their discomfort

oh, i fux with this heavy
appreciate that Jam wrestled with how a Black Batman's relationship to the cops would necessarily have to be different
but also, the thing that always bugged me about Batman was the rich-dude-meting-out-extrajudicial-violence part

cops are barely accountable for putting folks in the hospital; i don't know how it's better to have Batman (Black or otherwise) fucking up corner boys

This is quite literally the legalized plundering of the private property of Black people by the government.
"During 2014-2016, there was one black person targeted for forfeiture by Myrtle Beach police for every 50 black residents who live there."
"If you roughly extrapolated that rate over a generation, one in five black people would have money or goods taken by police in Myrtle Beach at some point over three decades, despite the fact that the city is mostly white."

Okay, I'm snowed in, so I'm going to turn on my fireplace, make some nice tea and cinnamon toast, and live-blog my childhood favorite snowed-in book, The Dark Is Rising.
Okay, so first off, if you saw the terrible, terrible, no-good movie, wipe that from your brain. The book is elegant, beautiful, and a bit of children's literature that refuses to talk down to its readers.
I think I first read it when I was in 3rd or 4th grade (I distinctly remember writing fanfic for it when I got bored in class in 5th grade and had at that point reread it a bunch of times) and I still love it as an adult.

Hello. At about 2:00 PM today, I'm going to be doing a deep dive of the State of the Union address. Why am I talking about a three day old speech? Because I've spent two days thinking about it and now I'm ready.
For new followers who've never seen me do this, I'm not a fact checker so I leave that to people with the resources. What I do is apply literary and media analysis skills to the speech, which is an attempt to tell a story, and generally apply my knowledge of human communication.
One reason I'm able to take my time and go as deep as I want is I'm not writing to deadlines, because I'm completely independent and finance my work through voluntary tips. If you'd like to help salt the pan this morning, feel free.

— Jimin brings his baby sister to a skate park, immediately wary of all the stereotypical “bad boys”. He realizes how wrong his judgment is when a tatttoed man with a crude skateboard comes up to his sister, offering to hold her hand as she learns to go down a ramp.

Reopening the Emmett Till case after 60 years,
after his mother and other close family that should have felt the victory of Justice are dead. After the "white" people who murdered him and cheered his murder have lived full, free lives.

This has nothing to do with justice
This is a White American pattern:
They they steal the life of a "black" person in the most depraved & barbaric way;
then their cops protect the murderer, their judges sit on benches and calls the murder justified and the white community claps their hands or shrugs their shoulders
They live comfortably with the blood of "Black" people on their hands & at their feet for decades; so long that their children are born stained in our blood and marked by their crimes
They go on, morphing into new phases of #whiteness leaving behind thousands more like Emmet Till
