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.

Whitewashing the uncomfortable parts of the past doesn't just affect Black stories. For example, you can't fully appreciate how a peanut farmer from Plains, GA became a beloved president unless you know TRUE Black History.

The unwhitewashed history of Jimmy Carter:

A thread.
Jimmy Carter was a simple peanut farmer who grew up in Plains, GA when the deep South was defined by racism. His family taught him not to see color. Instead of asking for handouts, they focused on God, education and...

OK, none of that happened.
First of all, to understand where Jimmy Carter comes from, you have to go back a few generations. Because you probably already know a few of his cousins.

In fact, he might not even be the most famous person in his family. But I'll let you decide.

There's a very interesting connection between Mark Zuckerberg's right-wing turn and the guy who might be the most powerful person in American media. I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere, so...

A thread.
First of all, let's be clear. Mark Zuckerberg's didn't just announce changes to Meta's content moderation policy. He didn't even announce that Meta's content policy will change.

He announced that his company is willing to help kill people.

How?
First of all, replacing fact-checking with community notes doesn't just mean misinformation and hate will spread, it means people will die because of it.

For instance , Facebook removed MILLIONS of posts containing COVID misinformation.

If anyone knows anything about “wokeness” CRT, the national anthem and being a real American, it’s Brett Favre

A (short) thread
Brett Favre is a descendant of Simon Favre, a famous“interpreter” who could speak multiple native languages.

Simon entered the family business at a young age and owned dozens of slaves and 100s of acres

But that wasn’t the family business.

The Favres stole land Image
The scam worked like this:

The Favres would move near a native tribe, earn their trust and convince native Americans that giving up their land & assimilating was in their best interest.

In exchange, they could keep some of the stolen land

Simon was BORN FOR THIS Image

For five years, I have been covering what is unquestionably the biggest criminal justice scandal in American history.

Today it ended when the most corrupt cop in history took his life.

But it's not over.

A thread.
For 5 decades, police officer Roger Golubski sexually assaulted Black women and forced to give false testimony that he used to send Black men to prison while he ran a sex trafficking and drug cartel in Kansas City Kansas

theroot.com/a-criminal-inj…
The federal trial against Golubski was supposed to begin today.

He didn't show up

According to sources, Golubski ended his own life

Before everyone leaves this app, I want to make a confession

I'm planning a robbery

I already have a target, a crew & a blueprint, I just need 1 more thing:

Will you help me recreate the greatest Black on Black crime in US history?

A story
An announcement
A (final) thread
On Thursday, May 23, 1861, Frank Baker, James Townsend, and Shepard Mallory orchestrated the greatest heist in American history.

Less than 6 weeks after the start of the Civil War, the enslaved men were essentially donated to the Virginia Confederate Militia to dig ditches
As they worked near the exact same spot where "20& Odd" Africans arrived 1619, the men spotted a boat.

Of course they skedaddled. Scrammed. Vamoosed. They ran like Josh Hawley in an insurrection, crossed the river and presented themselves to Union Gen, George Butler

People who say this election could be the "end of democracy" are so extra...

Or maybe they know the TRUE history of the election-denying white supremacist who led a violent insurrection, overturned a presidential election and ended democracy in America.

A thread
First, you should know that the US Constitution created a form of govt called a "federal republic" where elected officials represent the citizens (as opposed to a DIRECT DEMOCRACY, where people vote on every decision)

But a representative democracy is just A KIND OF DEMOCRACY Image
Image
Saying, "America is a constitutional republic, not a democracy," is like saying: "I'm a MAGA Republican, not an American."

BTW, this is your daily reminder that @laurenboebert is a pro-insurrection MAGA Republican HS dropout who failed the GED 3x... NOT an American. Image
