I am not about to applaud anyone for gaining billionaire status when I don't believe billionaires should exist. You can't achieve billionaire status without inequitably compensating many people along the way that did work for you. How else could one amass such wealth? When you had the money to do so, did you at a minimum pay direct employees a living wage, provide quality health insurance, and paid sick leave or did you hoard your wealth?

cw: rape

(1/) So frustrated w/some Black folks coming down on Oprah & Gayle 4 asking interview Qs abt Black male rapists bc folks erroneously believe that these trained journalist don't ask Qs abt Weinstein and other white rapists.

From @SylviaObell:

buzzfeednews.com/amphtml/sylvia… (2/) @Oprah talked about her experience with Weinstein being a bully.

What I really ❤ about @BlackWomxnFor's endorsement of @ewarren is that if the candidate has made prior public stmts that diverge from the group's values, the group's integrity compels it to speak up w/o equivocation, hair splitting, or trying to justify the unjustifiable. /1

None of these Dem primary candidates or politicians are perfect & none of them will save us. We will save ourselves w/ assistance from whomever we send to the White House, whomever we send to the school board & whomever we send to work for us in every elected office between. /2

1/🚨SPOILER ALERT: Has anyone done a thinkity think piece comparing the relationship between Killmonger and T'Challa from @theblackpanther and Adelaide and Red from @JordanPeele 's @UsMovie? If so, 2/Bc here is what I am thinking & this might be a reach but stretching is good for the body: Killmonger is descended from ppl stolen from their homeland and enslaved in the U.S. The Constitution barred the fed gov't from ending the importation of slaves in the states for 20 yrs.
