I just spent an hour searching for a mashup or good mix of Fat-Bottomed Girls and Baby Got Back and came up empty

In a system devised by the rich it is always those who are not rich who are the most compromised upon and discarded. The IRS won’t go after the wealthy (when have they?) The contents of this debt ceiling extension bill, the consequences of defaulting notwithstanding, show this.

Brexit has been a complete and unmitigated disaster. And it is too late to put that genie of immensely fucked up dimensions back into that bottle. I do wonder whether those who voted in 2016 for Brexit (meaning: for the UK to leave the European Union) and forsake a business market of some 460 million people ever reflect on their fateful vote now? #Brexshit #Brexit #BlackMastodon #Mastodon #BlackFriday

This is Amanda Gorman's poem, "The Hill We Climb", read at Joe Biden's inauguration. Can you see why a White Supremacist would want to have it banned under Ron DeSantis's book banning legislation?

The twist though, is this book is now #1 on Amazon, propelled by the Supremacist hate. At 22 years of age, Amanda Gorman was the youngest person to ever recite a poem at a U.S. Presidential inauguration. #BLM #BlackFriday

(Yes, I love that this article is from "The Hill".)

Tina found her voice in music, and she used it to speak to the pain and joy of the Black experience in America. She broke down barriers for black artists in rock music, and she became a successful performer and an inspiration.

Tina Turner was born into a world that was already against her. She was Black, a woman, and poor. She grew up in the segregated South. But she refused to let these challenges define her. I am sorry she has left this Earth.

I can’t write it all here, so below, if you like, read my small tribute to her.

I am the confused.

I'mma need a quotation to properly judge how inappropriate it is to be asking questions in a public square. This reads like a citizen in need of assistance and instead having the cops drag him to jail.

Weird it reads that way considering the article is sourced exclusively from the police statements.

This is the same public square with the sign commemorating the spot where KY decided to secede from the union. #Inappropriate

Ahhh, shit yeah!

My name is Kemi, straight from Jamdown/
I'm close to the earth, like I was low to the ground/
That's right y'all, I'm the original environmentalist/
And I keep nazis and capitalism on my shit list

Sun-kissed, heaven scented/
My trumpet got dented/
But you'll never find me getting sad or forlorn/
I keep it fresh from night to morn

Yeh man, we out here. Got a nice little community myself (my Fediverse feed is very nicely colourful tbh) I second what @mastodonmigration said - follow hashtags (#BlackFedi, #BlackMastodon, #BlackFriday, #BlackTwitter, #Indigenous, #Latina, #Latino), follow similar users, etc.

In an age of the greatest orators, Anna Dickinson was one of the greatest. What made her stand out first and foremost was that, by using metaphors, sharing firsthand accounts, vivid descriptions, and personal anecdotes, that illustrated the horrors of bondage on individuals and families, she HUMANIZED the enslaved.

One of my biggest concerns about switching over to Mastodon when I did, was losing the online Black community I developed on birb site, many of whom were very helpful to my continuing to thrive as I negotiated white supremacist spaces in my professional and personal life. I am very happy to find another such community here, and want to give a shout outs to SOME (wish I could tag everybody - the search function is pretty terrible here for some reason) of the people that keep me coming back to the Fediverse. Love you guys!

In 1951, during the height of segregation, LIFE magazine staff photographer W. Eugene Smith documented the heroic efforts of a nurse midwife, Maude Daniel Callen, who served an impoverished community of 10,000 people in rural South Carolina. The story appeared in the December 3, 1951, issue of LIFE. The caption read: “SIMPLE KINDNESS overwhelms an old man,” who had been paralyzed for 20 years.
