Mase just told women who battle infertility on CH that god is a healer because he can't imagine that women wouldn't be able to have children of their own. I should not have gotten on this freaking app.
Now he's trashing women. re: the song Savage!! Wonder which women he's talking about.
rappers that rapped about death are dead. He's really going on...
Now he's saying success is modern. literally, a man that made money is telling others right now that traditional is not about money or success. I wish I was making this up.
And Human Resources in churches is modern. a problem.
"that's not my woman if she doesn't do what I told her to do."

Good lord.... I can only imagine the men that... nah I'm good.

I know this is an opinion piece. And I'm going to break down why this is a problem. A problem media keeps participating in. 🧵

Opinion | Critical race theorists do not do what Ted Cruz says they do msnbc.com/opinion/ted-cr… via @msnbc @KevinMKruse
Right now the media CONTINUES to do profile pieces on insurrectionists and white supremacists.

As a Black woman in this country with centuries of this behavior all I see is a repeat of what my Ma would whisper about. y'all are elevating people that want me and mine dead.
Those that continue to twist narratives that our defending ourselves from people who want us dead are the real racists and the violent ones.

But yet scream the first and second amendment. Just NOT for us. That's what you are saying. That's what you keep writing.

let me say something here. He's supposed to be an ally but this is his take and please read the comments as he responds to those challenging him. But he's supposed to be the expert.
and I'm going to add something here. BP are constantly told that they can't cover stories about racism because they are too close to it.

I think we need to start saying WM can't cover White supremacists because they are too close to defending WM because they are one.
the level of defensiveness of WP being called racists should mean they shouldn't be seen as experts on it cause they will defend their own til the cows come home.

As you know I've been spending time in these rooms on CH. There is a lot of harassment and disinformation. One of the tools they implemented is Blocking. I have words on it. I'm quoted in the article below. Let's chat.
The Blue Check Mark’s Evil Cousin bit.ly/3wlpJGV
The feature is problematic in the natural progression of how humans interact and how the platform works. Also, while the article describes how anti-semitism, misogyny and coronavirus misinformation have come into play, racism was missing from the conversation.
Including the use of a black exclamation mark was the chosen icon utilized to signal that a user is blocked, which is rooted in the "black is bad" effect that perpetuates antiblackness.

hey, you two sorry to be late to the IG. I had a meeting during that time. I want to comment on something @DrJasonJohnson said about #AgentOrange45 being removed from platforms in the discussion today on #CrossTalk After party.
meant to tag @TiffanyDCross & @DrJasonJohnson.
Here's the key to what is missing from these conversations. These were his personal accts. Not the government ones. tried to make this point clear because there are distinctions that are missed. said this at the @FBoversight presser
When people use the whole well this means they can do this to those of lesser stature or the most marginalized the problem is they have always done that. That's their practice. @DrJasonJohnson they allow those with status to go unchecked breakings ToS until it's too late.

Some of will never understand the anger I harbor. Anger that lived in my soul when I was 19 and I left my home behind in part because of this man that took out ads to get 5 innocent boys in Harlem killed for something they did not do. The army of blue came to Harlem & never left.
To leave all I knew behind including dear friends to end up here. Fighting battles I was not prepared for but did it anyway. Eventually debates on the hill and with a WH that at least listened. And yet my country voted in a white supremacist, the very one I thought I left.
To my warnings along with other amazing BW that identified a problem that the platforms, nor media wanted to hear from us. Women who like me had enough of a history to know what could happen. Some of it passed down. Whispers our elders shared.

hey, y'all MPD has no control over the security of federal buildings.

The key is federal. This means those in charge of the federal gov't does. The person that incited the violence is in charge of the security as you can see Pence just got the national guard deployed.
It really should be enough for impeachment but seriously they had no problem deploying them when it was BLM in front of the white house when he wanted to use them to get to the church. I saw guns in the capital. did you?
Remember there were men in camouflage that weren't identified and the Mayor didn't know who they were. Who do you think deployed them?
