kevin gates was literally sexually assaulted at his own concert and sentenced to 3 months for kicking the woman sexually assaulting him. that’s fucking horrific and needs to be addressed, male or not.
i don’t make other folks trauma my thinkpieces and point of conversations, just drawing attention to this. had a man grabbed a female rapper and she acted out violently in response, i don’t think she would’ve went to jail for it.
my math is terrible. he was sentenced to 6 months. 180 days.
correction: the incident he was sentenced for was ANOTHER instance where he was groped by a female fan in 2015.

so there are two occasions where female fans have grabbed him in a sexually aggressive manner.

how SCAD, Savannah College of Art and Design, and Paula Wallace are harming black folks and getting away with it: a thread.
since it’s inception in 1978 SCAD has led in gentrifying historically black areas of Savannah, GA and displacing poor, black, elderly, and disabled folks in the name of ✨more student housing✨ for Taylor and Mckenleigh.
On November 19, 2020 SCAD purchased a LOW INCOME housing high rise in downtown Savannah for nearly $39,000,000.

THIS HOUSING COMPLEX housed ELDERLY AND DISABLED folks who were given LESS THAN A MONTH and $1,750.00 and told to dip and find new housing.

black folks in the 90s watching the mexican “chola/cholo” aesthetic pop up. Image
i will stand on this. black women popularized huge gold bamboo earrings, baby hair, thin eyebrows, lip liner, ALLAT. ALLOFIT.
the chola/o aesthetic is directly derivative of BLACK HIP HOP CULTURE.
it’s funny how black folks can grow up in community with literally anyone and still not appropriate their culture. but when it comes to us it’s “XYZ grew up with black folks that’s why XYZ” like?.... 🙄

our predecessors were whole human beings. i know we have a tendency to idolize the panthers and that idolization in turn, morphs them into God-like figures but they weren’t Gods or Goddesses. they were young radical black people tired of oppression. just like we are.
they didn’t know they would make history. and we won’t know the history we’re making if we remain so entrenched in the past that we don’t realize the present. i honor the hard work of the Panthers but staying stuck in the past won’t liberate the present.
and i say this not to say we shouldn’t study their highs and lows, community initiatives, and values.

but i know a lot of folks who center their entire personalities and platforms around predecessors and knowing more history and political education than others.

so this girl went “viral” for going off on
someone in traffic for not moving their car.

in the duration of going off, she said “nigga.”

not only did she not apologize for saying it, she’s referring to it as her “inner gangsta” and “riding for her fam.”
she’s amassed a large following, only likes comments in support of her saying it, snd keeps bragging about going viral and tagging pages to keep the momentum going.
i’m definitively NOT championing people to go and attack her.

but i will make note of the non-black and black people condoning her usage of the word.

and how some non-black people really think saying the n word is 1. okay and 2. a reflection of “being street”

honoring Trayvon’s humanity is honoring him in his purest form. the purest form of most southern black teenage boys— golds, a white wife beater, and middle fingas.

not highlighting what you think are the best parts of his story— a space program, a promising engineer, his GPA... Image
that shit all caters to respectability politics and the belief that excellence should absolve us of brutality.
that if we look a certain way or act nice enough, that makes us less deserving of death.
we saw the same language with Elijah McCain.

everyone thought he didn’t deserve what happened to him because he was nice and played music to animals.

he didn’t deserve what happened to him whether he was nice or was the biggest, meanest nigga in the world.

dear kardashians, a thread.
dear Kardashian/Jenner family,

black women are tired of you, we are tired of you.

we watched you transform yourselves into racially ambiguous black women and make billions off of us.

we watched you birth black children to play supporting characters in your movies.
we watched you go from pale skin to Beyoncé. from garlic to brown sugar.

we watched you appropriate our hairstyles.

we watched black women get made fun of for braids. only to watch you all be deemed “urban” and “hip” for the same styles.
