I wonder how those QAnon folks are gonna react when they realize that Q is Black?

Wait... Y’all didn’t know?

Come on, man, just think about it.

A thread:
First of all, his name is Q’Anon and everyone knows the Q is the blackest letter of the alphabet. White people stopped using it ever since we took the name “Quincy” from John Adams and that white coroner.

And you know they can’t pronounce our names.
Basically the letter Q is a negro C.

White people pronounce QAnon as “cue anon” but it’s probably just “cannon”

Secondly, think about how fast it trended. Aside from meth & throwing cookouts with the feds watching, when has ANYTHING become so popular that we didn’t originate?
This whole QAnon fad came out of nowhere and white people just jumped on the bandwagon and took it over like... Well, everything that Black people ever invented—Jazz, hip hop, rock n roll, the electric slide. the phrase “it’s lit and now...

Marching for voting rights.
I bet a white person stumbled across Umar Johnson’s page and asked a Black friend “what levels is he talking about?”

That’s how it started
Now, According to a leading research journal called “Wikipedia,“ QAnon is a “disproven and discredited far-right conspiracy theory alleging that a secret cabal of Satan-worshipping, cannibalistic pedophiles is running a global child sex-trafficking ring,”

which sounds crazy...
Unless you’ve been to a Black barbershop. Every Black person has had a hairdresser or barber who will tell you a crazy conspiracy about white people if he or she gets enough brown liquor in them (it’s gotta be brown, tho)

*Brown likka is an actual brand of alcoholic beverage
I actually went out on a date with someone who said over dinner, with all seriousness:

“They call us monkeys when they’re the ones born with tails”

I must’ve look startled, bc she said:

“Wait, you didn’t know that? Hand to God.”

And then she kissed it!
And everyone knows that kissing something and holding it to God is the most solemn vow next to “on my grandmama grave.”

Her grandmama was still alive, though, so this was the highest she could go.
But here’s the real reason I know Q is Black:

Black people know white people better than anyone. Our existence depends on it.

When was the last large gathering where there wasn’t ONE BLACK t-shirt vendor?

The Capitol Coup! Did you see anyone out there selling mixtapes?

Why?
We knew the shit was about to go down. We can feel it in our bones.

And finally, who could possibly know that so many white people would latch on to such a stupid idea?

I’ll tell you who:
Someone who knows evidence, experts, studies and research shows Black voters are suppressed. But somehow, after 23 recounts, a DOJ investigation, 58 judges, Congress & the Senate found no evidence whatsoever, the MAGAS still believed WHITE PEOPLE were being disenfranchised.
Someone whose ancestors were stolen, shackled, raped, murdered and lynched and then BLACK PEOPLE were accused of being violent.

Someone who built the wealthiest economy in the world FOR FREE and then THEY were accused of being lazy.
Someone who figured out how to survive 400 years of every imaginable treachery white people could conceived of while white people called THEM “unintelligent.”

Someone who had every legal, constitutional and human right withheld by people who BELIEVE they’re PATRIOTS.
Only that kind of person could pull an unbelievably long turd of bullshit out of thin air and say to themselves:

“Yeah, they’ll believe this.”
I don’t know who Q is...

But I bet he drinks brown likka.

If you're wondering how the "race-baiters" are going to make the SCOTUS ruling about racism, well...

Here's what the Trump decision has to do with the history of white supremacy, racial terrorism and even the death of George Floyd.

A thread.
It began with the passage of the 13th Amendment. If you don't go to school in Fla, you probably know about the birth of the KKK, White Leagues & other domestic terror cells responsible for racial violence during Reconstruction.

Well, it kinda didn't really happen that way.
The Klan was not really that popular until YEARS later. In fact, MOST of the racial terrorism during Reconstruction was committed by two groups:

1. Regular-degular, unaffilliated white people
2. Police officers.

Most pre-civil war cities & towns didn't have police forces

Theyhe SC Dept. of Education canceled AP African American Studies, @thegrio spoke with teachers, school administrators & superintendents to find out why SC essentially canceled the ONLY accredited HS course in Black History.

THey all had the same answer.

A thread.
FIRST we must acknowledge that SC is central to ANY study of Black Americans.

Scholars estimate that 40% of America's race-based human trafficking cargo disembarked in the "slave capital of the new world." Image
SC's Negro Act of 1740 was the template for all state's slave codes, including literacy bans. And, because it was classified as PROPERTY LAW, the individual states would later decide that slave codes didn't violate constitutional rights.

There are a few problems with Byron Donald’s idiotic statement, notion of Black “conservatives,” and even how WE THINK of Jim Crow

A thread
Byron Donald’s statement isn’t that uncommon. Every Black person has heard a version of this, whether it is “integration was the worst thing that happened to us,” or what Donalds said.

Those people are dumb
Image
Image
First of all, I will always contend that “integration” never happened. To be fair, my opinion is based on a book many people may disagree with:

It’s called a dictionary.

When did any of this happen? Image

The conversation about Caitlin Clark reminds me of one of my favorite stories about of basketball’s forgotten GOATs and a strange NBA stat

A thread.
Regardless of how you feel about WNBA player’s treatment of Caitlin Clark, it is INARGUABLE that she is expected to be a generational talent.

Whenever someone is expected to dominate their sport, teams & player often use a common strategy:

“What if we beat them up?”
For instance, Shaquille O’Neal was so dominant, the NBA had to change its rules to address the “Hack-a-Shaq”

After the French Revolution, people who supported the old monarchy, feudalism and a heirarchal sat on the right side of presiding officer of French Parliament and the liberal, non-aristocrats and members of the third estate usually sat on the left.
During the 1900s Karl Marx’s ideas began to spread across Europe. In France, the people who supported monarchies (the right wing) were the most vocal opponents of communism, so they referred to Marxists as the “far left.”

But one guy changed that
