Lo0ks like a change of heart with some of them, as an #FBA I've always embraced my African ancestors, most of us did. Look at early 80's rap videos, everyone rocked the African medallions, I still have some to this day!
It was the Africans that didn't like to see us embrace our African roots, why? I have no idea... #FBA has done everything in our power to show respect for the motherland and its people. Now that they are getting a rude awakening with this Ukraine war, they realize that they are not something different, they are always going to be seen as a nigga through the eys of a non-black person... Always!

If you had to pick a top three, which would they be for you? He has so many amazing songs that it is hard to pick just three but after listening to his music again lately, I have gotten my top three. This is based on a few different things for me. The music video, the beat, the lyrics, and the impact.

For me it has to be these ones:

There are shortages of food happening already and with this war, more are on the way. We will see farmers struggling next since we get most of our fertilizer from them (Ukraine) and they stopped exporting it. Be prepared people! I stocked up on beans, dried pasta, and other goods that will last a few years shelf life. I am going to get a few things growing as well soon as the weather warms up. I have a friend at work who owns a farm so I will have some access there. He is always giving us stuff - veg, fruit, eggs, etc. I wouldn't blame him if he started charging for it but at least I know a local spot.

Is anyone else preparing for this mess?

They cashed BOTH my Aunties checks but when I try and cash mine? I am called a thief and that I may have printed this check out myself. No this is exactly what I think it is. #BankingWhileBlack is in FULL effect here in Ann Arbor Michissippi. Now my coinbase account is all jacked up and this is not fair

This week two incidents of "teachers" using the N-word in class have been resolved with neither teacher being fired. Black children are supposed to be protected by the community, starting with their parents. So where are they? And why was this Pinkerton MF allowed to retire with full benefits??? That's what I want to know.

1984, Minority Report and many more media creations awoken us long ago to the capabilities of technology for the 21st century. It will be incumbent of the same to keep abreast of whats happening and keep it in check.

Its been a whole five years since Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild came out and its impact is still being felt by the industry

I don't know who she is but her answer to "what should Black people be doing about Ukraine" is what needs to come out of every #FBA's mouth when asked. Especially on a platform that thousands will see.
#StayOnCode people, the Shift is happening and I'm honored to witness it. ✊🏾

I never took part in it. I never used any of the apps or even considered it. I have a lot of friends who have and do use and frequent these online dating apps, sites, etc. I feel like they are all struggling to find happiness and fulfillment in a relationship. Some are either in it just to get a sexual fix or they are looking for something more with dudes who are coasting in and out DMs. I feel like online dating is ruining people. Share your thoughts.

I watched the SOTU last night. I was not able to watch it when it was on. Wasn't planning on it but I didn't want to be fooled by the media and wanted to make sure I got the facts straight when people tried peddling Biden's BS to me.

So he basically said nothing about Jan 6th, was talking about border security (after inviting all those illegals in), was in favor of pushing MORE support for the LGBT people, glossed over women's rights, and even called for MORE police funding. The cherry on top? He did not once mention black injustice, the targets of white supremacists but made a point to talk about Asian hate crimes saying they happen too often and need to stop.

Is this meant to be a joke!? Pre-election he was all for us but now that he has his power he is doing a 180. Honestly, I am not surprised.

Professor Black Truth demonstrated the scholarly task or taking apart talking point in order to build your case (Common Debate technique), this morning The Professor give us a sample clip of Joy Reid. In this clip Reid is instructing Africans in the Ukraine, "Stay put, because this is a warzone, and you don't know what could happen", (HEAVY ON THE PAUSE) why didn't Mrs. Reid's parents stay put in a Leopold controlled Congo or British controlled Guyana? Lamestream Media is finding it harder to lie to Black people (and find other credible darker-skinned people to do the job), but worse that we have our own answers as well as talking points. Question in the thread: Will Africans (at a Critical Mass) be forced to conform to the B1 model?

From Baghdad Batteries to 100 MPG Cars that run off water. Innovation thrives.

Parents Bart and Coley Glasgow from Canton, Georgia, interviewed Dr. Carol Anderson, a professor at Emory University, about critical race theory and how it's taught in schools. This is the full interview the Glasgows conducted with Dr. Anderson. It's part of 11Alive's "Drawing Conclusions" series as we follow two metro Atlanta parents concerned about critical race theory (CTR) and diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programs in public schools. The Glasgows agreed to go on a fact-finding journey and interview experts in African American studies, DEI, implicit bias and America’s civil rights movement.

This was a very interesting conversation, Dr. Carol Anderson is very knowledgeable, I didn't like the way the white parents played the "dumb" to racism role. Being white in ameriKKKa, you are very aware of white supremacy. Pay close attention to the white lady when the Dr. starts breaking CTR down.

Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson is not happy with Starz.

The prolific producer is threatening to walk away from his deal with the Lionsgate-backed premium cable network, for whom he exec produces the Power franchise and multiple other projects.


The rapper, actor and producer posted multiple images of bags being packed on his verified Instagram account, where he voiced frustration with the renewal for Starz’s Hightown but lack of decision on Power spinoff, Force.

“This is me packing my stuff, Starz. Sucks, my deal is up over here I’m out. They renewed Hightown and Force is the highest rated show they have sitting in limbo. If I told you how much dumb shit I deal with over here,” he wrote. Subsequent posts include images of bags being packed as Jackson posted he wants to “take that fvcking sign off the door no more G-unit film and television over here.”


Why does Starz keep trying to play this man? He puts up numbers for them and they try to screw him left and right.

This nigga hit us with a Polk High story and starts tearing up because he feels he’s not getting the love he deserves. He also says he hopes someone takes his life.

Black men that’s why we have to learn how to pivot. If the rap shit ain’t working out PIVOT. He making excuses and saying he can’t get a job because he would be embarrassed if people recognized him.

What Da Band was 20 years ago and he still aint figured something else out? He says he has to sell drugs because of Diddy.

He sounds like a loser.

I was trying to Google to term "Y'all Qaeda" to make sure I wasn't misspelling it and I unfortunately had the misfortunes of coming across this drivel written by Joel Nihlean.

It is just me, or is this writer a decent example of white Supremacy taking both sides of the conversation?

Stop Calling Them Y’all Qaeda, Vanilla ISIS, and Yeehawdists, Right Now​

Comparing right-wing terrorists to Islamic extremists is not the argument you think it is.​

Recently, a North Carolina man claiming to have a bomb live-streamed a litany of anti-government grievances from his truck near the U.S. Capitol. Police responded in force. He surrendered only after an hours-long standoff and the evacuations of numerous government buildings in the area.

The man, Floyd Ray Roseberry, had previously posted videos to Facebook of himself marching in a pro-Trump march shouting “stop the steal.”

As in the aftermath of the Jan. 6 Capitol Riot, epithets like Y’all Qaeda, American Taliban, Vanilla ISIS, and Yeehawdist were all trending on Twitter, popping up in Facebook posts, and on the lips of many.

The most charitable interpretation of these monikers is that people are saying that the MAGA crowd is more than just a bunch of clowns larping as revolutionaries. The names point to both the American South and international terrorism. The names gesture toward the idea that these people may seem like simpletons, but they can be dangerous — here’s another dangerous movement, Islamic extremists like al Qaeda and ISIS.

But even if the comparison is a good faith one, it leads us to view these groups as a less-than-serious threat. And there are so many other reasons why it’s both bad and wrong.

Yes, it stereotypes both groups — it’s classist and has a bigoted if not outright racist nature to it. But more than that, it lumps together anybody who has grievances with the American global empire and dismisses them as loony, sort of painting with a broad brush.

But all of that’s a sort of side issue.

What’s the point of comparing American terror with international terror?​

The biggest reason names like Y’all Qaeda, American Taliban, Vanilla ISIS, and Yeehawdist are a problem is that we don’t need to make analogies to international terror movements. Since 9/11, white supremacist groups have been responsible for three times as many terrorist attacks as Islamist extremists.

It’s not necessary to try to untangle the complexities of international terror’s evil actions and potentially legitimate grievances with imperialism. There’s a long history of homegrown, American fascist terror movements.

Domestic terrorism in the United States — slave patrols, the KKK, Pinkertons, union-busters, and more — is a much older and longer tradition. The modern iteration of the mujahideen in Afghanistan, CIA-funded no less, has only been around since about the 1970s.

What’s happening on the modern American far-Right — groups like the Proud Boys, Oath Keepers, Patriot Prayer, the Bundy family, the Boogaloo Bois, and III% militias — has more in common with the historical American terror movements than international terrorism in far-off places under very different social and political circumstances.

Ridiculous and insidious by design​

People seem to have trouble wrapping their heads around the fact that these groups storming U.S. Capitol were simultaneously both incredibly buffoonish — wandering the halls in awe, dressed up in crazy outfits, and taking videos and snapping selfies of each other committing federal crimes — and incredibly dangerous.

At the same time as the QAnon shaman wandered through the Senate, militia members were coordinating using walkie-talkie apps and people in full camo with zip ties were searching the Capitol. They were clearly intending to do a lot of damage — maybe kidnap people, take hostages, or even kill someone.

Combining those two things, ridiculousness and insidiousness, is not a new phenomenon. It has a long history in U.S. terror movements. The Ku Klux Klan was also both ridiculous and insidious. They walked around hoods and robes, calling each other wizards, dragons, centaurs, cyclopes, and goblins. They were ridiculous. But they also burned crosses, fomented waves of fear, and murdered people in cold blood.

The reasoning behind all the pomp and circumstance is to create a secret social club feel to membership. It makes the movement look less dangerous because it has this silly side.

This disarming clownishness has also been employed by politicians like Donald Trump to great effect. The clownish exterior has a way of disarming when the criticism comes.

We expect leaders with authoritarian tendencies to have more of the classic hair-slicked-back stern demeanor. When we don’t get what we expect, it’s easy to be knocked back on our heels.

Right-wing terror is not new or disconnected from the past​

Bottom line: We need to focus on comparing right-wing terror happening in America now to past American terrorist movements They enforced racial segregation then, and then these movements, their tactics, and the ends they aimed at were codified and integrated into society in ways that can continue the enforcement today.

The event most similar to the Capitol riot, as much as the riot was buffoonish and bound to fail, was the Wilmington insurrection in North Carolina. It was the only successful coup d’état on American soil. In the late 19th century, a bunch of white supremacists just killed the integrated black and white government officials of the city and took over.

We don’t need to protect and maintain this luster of fantasy about America — to paper over all the internal contradictions…

A better understanding of America’s history of enforcing racial segregation through terror, and a better understanding of the ideology underpinning these movements would help us reconcile the seeming contradictions of danger and buffoonery that exist on the surface.

I am sick and tired of this. I'd like to post happy things sometimes, but these police shootings are starting to ramp back up. They kill another promising young man with a master's degree and no criminal history, off of the word of a known criminal using a 2nd warrant that did not have the same information as the first. 27-year-old Charion Lockett was also a legal gun owner (but does that really matter for us), but the police lied in their reports about him discharging a weapon. Hell, I don't even believe he had a gun, I believe it was planted.

And now, Joe Blow Biden wants to give these savages more money to kill more black people. He duped black people and Trump was his dancing partner. We have 3 more years of this. Unbelievable.

Racism Denial was the topic of Tariq Nasheed's latest broadcast, in part to the global exposure to racism in the Ukraine through mainstream through, as well as the mysterious cases of black women going missing or dying with a white male literally lying next to them. It light of these events, the families of the dead black women refused to make a racial case for their dispatched members, and Law Enforcement has acted accordingly. This is in the same vein as the African migrant students living in Europe, given that they believed (like the civil right generation) that their proximity to the dominate society would mean they had arrived socially and economically. One thing that had me chuckle for bit was the continental Nigerian caller asking about the museum and where the money went, at this point it's just comical to hear the question.

Don’t upgrade your EA games fellas.





EA Sports will remove the Russian National Team and all Russian club soccer teams from its FIFA video game franchise, and remove all Russian and Belarusian hockey teams from the latest NHL video game franchise, the gaming developer announced on Wednesday.

Why it matters: The sports world's rebuke of the invasion signals a swift rebuke of the Russian government. The Ukrainian government has also called on video game companies and esports operators to bar Russian gamers and esports teams.

Of note: The International Ice Hockey Federation has banned Russia and Belarus from competitions.

What they're saying: "EA Sports stands in solidarity with the Ukrainian people and like so many voices across the world of football, calls for peace and an end to the invasion of Ukraine," the developer wrote in a statement.

EA sports wrote the move is "in line with our partners at FIFA and UEFA[.]" The two soccer governing bodies on Monday suspended Russia's national and club teams from all international competition.

I would like to address the speculation in media over the past few days in relation to my ownership of Chelsea FC. As I have stated before, I have always taken decisions with the Club’s best interest at heart. In the current situation, I have therefore taken the decision to sell the Club, as I believe this is in the best interest of the Club, the fans, the employees, as well as the Club’s sponsors and partners.

He's a Russian oligarch, for context.

Washington state is getting ready to roll out the ID.me facial recognition system dropped by the IRS last month over privacy and equity concerns.

Human rights activists and some federal lawmakers are asking state government officials, including in Washington, to ban the system. Amid the outcry, Washington’s Employment Security Department says it doesn’t use ID.me to verify the identities of people claiming jobless benefits — but plans to start doing so in June.

“Recently, we launched a competitive procurement process to secure a tool claimants would use to verify their identity before applying for benefits,” said Nick Demerice, director of public affairs. ID.me, Demerice said, was the winning vendor.

I don't know if any of ya'll knew about this but when I heard about it, it freaked me out. This is Chinese-level infiltration and I am glad enough people were pissed about it. We need to make sure that tech is never used against us. It already is in many areas but if they get to a point where they are publically tracking us without shame, it is going to be a problem. I love the concept of crypto but this is one of the reasons why I always say we need to keep the physical dollar alive.

The problem with being hyper-aware of white supremacy is sometimes it creeps into your dreams. I won't explain or try to tell my dream, for some reason when people try to tell me their dreams it's f*ck'n annoying, so I'll save you from being annoyed. For the past few weeks, I haven't been able to sleep through the night because I have dreams/nightmares of situations having to deal with racist white people. I'm sure it has a lot to do with seeing and hearing about white supremacy every day, I wish I didn't have to.
When I'm trying to interpret what my dream was about, I start thinking about the coons, immigrants, and, other non-white races that are racist AF towards #FBA , It makes my world feel small and, makes my hate grow for white supremacy and #OffCode immigrants.
Does anyone here dream or have nightmares about racism? Does it scare you or fuel you?
