First Marc Lamont Hill, now this. Black Male Feminists are going out “Hella” bad this week 🤦🏾♂️
These dudes get around these bourgeois liberal feminist/queer circles & start buck dancing for nigg* trinkets & protest pu**y then get themselves caught up.
It never fails with these “Hella Black,” “Feminist AF,” “Listen to BW,” until they say NO, ass negroes 🤷🏿♂️
I wrote this tweet 10 days ago, when folks were first celebrating the removal of these racist relics from the past. Now today, I’m seeing calls coming from some well meaning folks (@Mysonne) for the removal of additional relics.

Did you know that August 13, 2020 marks 100-years of the Red, Black, and Green, a national symbol of race pride that was adopted by our ancestors a century ago?

2/4 I’ve addressed this topic before, the people we refer to as Black leaders, held leadership positions in organizations that were created to serve the Black community:
Marcus Garvey - UNIA & ACL
Malcolm X - NOI & OAAU
Dr. King - SCLC
Robert Williams - NAACP
3/4 The better question should be, where are our Black Organizations? We need institutions and organizations to fight for the liberation of Black people. If you desire a leader, consider starting an organization and leading it, or joining one that already exists.
