Trevonte Helton, a 29 year old Black man, "was found hanging from a tree at High Shoal Falls in North Georgia." This man was murdered, and their quick eagerness to call this an "isolated" incident is just horrifying.

You can rationalize it as much as you need to wrap your head around it. But this is what it is! Plain and simple!

Fandom Racism
If you don’t want to read this, unfollow me and anyone else who is black. I’m not playing with y’all.
I’m tired of nonblack people writing Sam Wilson in predatory roles and minimizing his trauma and need for healing and therapy like everyone else - especially given that he is a black man first, veteran second, and these are canon-based fics. If you don’t understand that nuance, literally don’t write him until you can.
Yes, I just read some shit that said Sam’s pain was okay because it wasn’t worse than Bucky’s and that Zemo is some kind of generous white martyr (mind you, he used Bucky and Sam the whole show, felt no remorse for killing the black king of a black nation, and is based off of Nazi comic material). And this isn’t an uncommon occurrence.
Black and brown fans don’t have an escape because we have to experience racist bias in real life just to then read it and writers want to cry, “It’s just fiction!” instead of doing the anti-racism work on themselves. Art includes the manifestation of real thoughts and systemic biases. Art is not an excuse.
This fandom has a lot of work to do. It’s not enough to have ‘good intentions’ when you’re still putting biases back into the world that are harmful. You’re different from your grandparents, cousins, uncles? PROVE IT instead of whining when black readers are tired of dehumanization of blackness.
PS. anti-racism is a life-long journey, not reading an article and a book and calling it a day. This also extends to POC who engage in anti-blackness. Do better and check your cousins. I should not have to.
PS2. This is not only Sam Wilson, but almost every fandom that has black characters, popular or not. The issue is widespread, Sam just happens to be where my particular offense lies at the moment given that I engage with his character often.

Reminder that Hamas is an anti-black terror organization. They do not represent Palestinians or any kind of freedom. Their only goal is to subjugate Jews, black people, queer people, women, and anyone who represents progressive values or is a minority to them. Fact check whenever you come across something like this- even when you usually trust the info you get from a page

absolutely crazy learning tonight that the main slur I, an Arab, grew up being called in Australia (w*g) was originally a British slur for a Black person. It never ceases to astound me just how much racism against non-Black poc is nevertheless rooted in anti-Black racism.

Picture One: Black square with white letters saying “SPEAKING OUT IS WORTH IT. L’OREAL PARIS”
Picture Two: News article with a headline saying “L’Oreal Fires Trans Model Monroe Bergdorf For Speaking Out Against Racism.” The sub headline says “The model and activist had posted on Facebook calling out racism after Charlottesville.”
Chanté ✔️ posted these two pictures side by side on Twitter and said: “It’s not adding up @Loreal???”

Carolyn Bryant- Donham: Ding Dong the Witch is Dead!
Tumblr media
Mainstream Media was quick to announce the death of Carolyn Bryant @ 88Yrs Old, but many kept their storylines short & sweet. Another Day in The Life, under the Biden Administration. Bryant reportedly died in hospice care in Westlake, Louisiana. Details were not given by the Coroner of cause of Death, but Bryant's battle w/ Cancer was not exactly a secret. New Black Media has reported in recent Yrs on how she was initially in Raleigh- Durham, North Carolina, before being moved to Kentucky, & later Louisiana.
Back in June 2022, members of Emmett Till's family discovered an Arrest Warrant issued for 'Mrs Roy Bryant', among Records @ the Lefore County Courthouse in Mississippi. The warrant was issued back in 1955, citing the charge of Kidnapping; but it was never served. The Till Family attempted to reissue that warrant, citing Carolyn Bryant's [recent] admission of perjury in the Trial of Emmett Till's brutal murder. In her 2017 interview w/ Dr. Timothy Tyson, Bryant allegedly admitted to lying on The Stand.
Unfortunately, Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch didn't think the case presented any new evidence, & in Aug. 2022, The Grand Jury declined to indict Bryant. As recently as Feb. 7th 2023, Emmett Till's cousin, Priscilla Sterling tried to compel Lefore County Sheriff Ricky Banks to reissue the warrant on Carolyn Bryant; but as of April 13th, she was informed that there was 'no point' in reissuing the warrant, since the Grand Jury declined last August.
Some lament missing the opportunity to send Carolyn Bryant- Donham to Prison. She lived a full life, while Emmett's life was brutally ended before it truly began. Bryant lived in anonymity for decades, until The New Black Panther Party & other Activists began showing up @ her addresses in North Carolina & Kentucky- to issue an 'Unofficial Warrant for her Arrest'. Some complained that Blackfolk were terrorizing an 'Old Lady', but no one says anything, when Nazi Hunters take individuals in their Nineties to justice.
The whole Emmett Till 'Tragedy' revolves around the Culture of protecting a White Woman's 'Honor'- whether she's worthy or not. Emmett Till & Carolyn Bryant are the only ones who know what really happened on Aug. 24th, 1955. According to Emmett's cousins, he was in the Store for a minute before they entered; they didn't know if he knew how to 'act' around a White Woman. From what they saw, Emmett didn't say or do anything threatening; they admit to hearing him whistle @ her. Carolyn Bryant initially concurred, but in Court, she recounted a different story.
In her Court Testimony, Bryant recounted how (14Yr Old) Emmett "put his left hand on my waist, and he put his other hand on the other side." When she rebuffed him, he replied: "What's the matter baby? Can't you take it?" She went on to say that Emmett uttered obscenities that she refused to repeat in Court, but related to his sexual prowess w/ White Women. According to Press Reports, Bryant gave the [unmistakable] impression of being afraid that Emmett might rape her. The Jury took about an hour to deliberate; the Foreman said that it would've been shorter, but they decided on having a [Soda] Pop.
In his 2017 interview, Dr. Tyson says that Carolyn Bryant- Donham told him that her testimony about Emmett grabbing her & uttering obscenities was 'not true'. Unfortunately, his recording of that interview was not enough to change the Grand Jury's opinion about reissuing the 1955 Arrest Warrant. For the most part, The State of Mississippi & The Federal Government were more concerned about the welfare of Carolyn Bryant, than the Family of Emmett Till. The Press described her as a former Beauty Queen that was raised in Poverty, w/ little Education or 'Knowledge of The World'... She was a product of her environment.
Following her death, Dr. Tyson wrote that 'Carolyn Bryant's precise role in the murder of Emmett Till remains murky, but it's clear that she was involved.' It appears that Bryant was in the car when her husband abducted Emmett; she pointed him out. By the time they reached the Store to drop her off, Dr. Tyson says that Bryant may have learned Emmett's fate, & was now saying that he wasn't the boy. In her interview, Bryant says that Emmett didn't do anything that warranted what was done to him. It appears that Emmett's Big Crime, was putting money in Carolyn Bryant's hand, & not on the counter.
Dr. Tyson speaks on how American Society views the Emmett Till Lynching as a story of 'Monsters', including Bryant. Professor Black Truth often speaks about how [White] Society operates on Moral Relativity & Situational Ethics. Applying them here, we can easily see how Dr. Tyson concludes that Society finds it easier to condemn Carolyn Bryant- Donham's actions, than confronting what America is. It's a big reason why both Democrats & Republicans have problems w/ Critical Race Theory (CRT).
For all of the aid & comfort that The State of Mississippi provided Carolyn Bryant- Donham, I can't stop thinking about Emmett... What was that 14Yr Old boy thinking when those grown White Men took him out of his family's house? Took him to that barn where they beat him mercilessly, shot him in the head, tied him to a 70lb Cotton Gin Wheel, & dumped his body into the river... As bad as that Jet Magazine Cover of Emmett's face looked, I can't get past the sheer TERROR he must have felt being alone, in the presence of Pure Evil.
I personally hope that Carolyn Bryant- Donham gets the Full Tour of 'Dante's Hell'... I'll even cover the tribute to Cerberus.

After being on tiktok and this whole thing that just happened with @camachine or @camachine-soul on tumblr, I've noticed that non-black people also try their hand at white women tears. Y'all will say the most anti-black/racist shit ever and when people come for you (as they should) you want play victims and act like you haven't done anything wrong.
It is actually extremely creepy and weird to repeatedly say that me and my other black mutual (@icejuggler) called her the "hard r" when in reality I was the one saying nigga. Just take a look at this.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
If you go on that post and look at the notes you'll that I only said nigga and never once called her nigger. Not one time at all and yet her she playing victim to something that did not happen to her.
Like, why are you doing this? What do you gain by lying on name like this? It literally felt like I was dealing with a white women because this is type of crap WW do. Say something racist, people correct you and then you play victim while twisting peoples words. I just find this to be scary honestly, 🤷🏾‍♂️ how yall so comfortable with just being blatant liars when it comes to black people.
Also not to mention how the N word literally doesn't affect her in any way shape or form. So why are you acting like you are the victim IT'S WEIRD!! Mexicans historically have never been called the N word, it has never been associated with them so why on God's green earth are you trying to make it seem like you are the one affected by a word that was never said?

Honestly, Wednesday was different from typical Netflix fare. It obviously had a production budget behind it. But there were...issues. Which is like, fine, every show will have issues. 
But to be quite frank, I’m losing my patience with this “DEI” approach to casting, because I have yet to see a take that just doesn’t fall back on such absurd and ridiculous acts of antiblackness playing out on screen that I’m like...you can’t be fucking serious lol. 
The Black kid, THE BLACK KID, the only Black boy we’ve seen in this series, shows up for the first time, in fucking PILGRIM OUTFIT? Make it. Make SENSE. His Black Dad, the mayor, who is bigoted against “outsiders” (walk me through the whole “outsiders thing, because the show goes all the way back to the Mayflower and I’m fucking sorry but Black people were ENSLAVED on that land, so what are the mayor and his son, if not quintessential outsiders?? Anyway...), OWNS Pilgrim World? For what? Racism? 
Bianca, BEAUTIFUL girl, uglified with those hideous contacts. Ofc she’s the bitchy mean girl. I’ve had enough of the return of the Black Antagonist. The inexplicably shitty Black person who is just angry and bitchy for no other reason than to...just be so. You want me to believe a BLACK BOY is going to fuck around with a bunch of white racists like that boy was? Getting his ass consistently beat by Wednesday? Please. Having Morticia Addams talk down to a BLACK MAN in a basically confederate town about not knowing what it would be like to not be believed? 
If these kinds of shows don’t get the fuck off my tv. I’m tired of watching blatant antiblackness play out in my face on my leisure time. I could just go outside for that.

Defend and Protect Black Women!!
Misogynoir medical bias is KILLING Black women disproportionately. If you know even a little history of how Black women have been systematically dehumanized and objectified in the medical industrial complex -you'd know this is FAR too common and it's despicable. These medical professionals should be losing their licenses to practice medicine.
"Black women are three to four times more likely to experience complications during pregnancy and childbirth and die from these complications compared with white women. Additionally, infants born to Black women are two times more likely to be born premature (<37 weeks of gestation) compared with infants born to white women."
"In the 19th century, J. Marion Sims performed experimental surgery on enslaved Black women without their consent to develop a cure for vesicovaginal fistula. These experiments facilitated the generations of two key health care scripts about Black women in the context of reproductive health care: (1) it is acceptable to perform procedures on Black women without their consent; and (2) Black women have a high tolerance for pain."
"Although there is a plethora of research documenting Black women's experiences of racism and discrimination while navigating perinatal care, much less has been reported regarding the relationship between racism and clinical care through the lens of clinicians' caring for Black women during pregnancy and childbirth."

They desperately want to erase this! DeSantis claims he doesn’t want to teach kids that their country is “evil”. Or making kids feel “guilty”. If u haven’t done anything why feel guilty? I don’t have Black guilt every time a White person is killed! I didn’t kill them! THIS IS REAL HISTORY!

okay last thing for real. call me crazy but i think comparing dream’s actions with nada to the transatlantic slave trade is kind of completely 100% nonsensical. and weird, frankly. an eternal entity fundamentally incapable of bigotry inappropriately leveraging his power over a young woman and condemning her to hell for rejecting him is a fantastical story and also, fundamentally, an interpersonal conflict. it isn’t. the transatlantic slave trade

I opened up the YouTube app and this was the first thing that played. Didn’t know they would just start auto playing stuff now 😬.
Peterson is listed on his Wikipedia page as conservative. Ekpunobi literally works at PragerU. The company that desperately wants to discredit Black history and shut down critical race theory education in American schools.
Really makes you think about what YouTube is pushing. I mostly use YouTube for music, funny tiktok compilations because I can’t be bothered, animal videos, animatics/short films and the occasional tv show clip. As far as I know, there’s nothing in my history that ‘should’ve’ pointed me to such a video.
Be careful guys. YouTube has done a lot of stupid and unethical stuff over the years, and now there’s this shit.
To those who are unsure: You’re not a victim for taking pride in your own autonomy. You’re not teaching your children to be victims when you’re teaching them to say no. You’re not a victim for actively promoting strategies to protect your body and soul from historical shows of power. There’s a difference in celebrating the variances of the human species and othering, and assholes want you to forget that and feel guilty about your own discomfort.
I hope Ekpunobi sees the light some day soon and stops working for PragerU.

I wish I could find that post that reminded me of why I do not trust the white lgbtq community here on tumblr after one of my mutuals, a bisexual black woman, basically chimed in to say that bisexuals aren’t inherently transphobic and that narrative is fucked up and these two pieces of shit went on to call her an animal that needed to be “killed” or “mauled.”
