New Series: Repost from Threads

 I started this blog for a very simple reason.


So I have decided to repost some of my threads to give them room to breathe. This post is some of my thoughts after the 2024 presidential election...


The US thrives from committing genocide. It's built into the business model. The empire that we spawned from was genocidal. The empire that we created has a genocidal origin story and history as well as current day. Let's start there. 🧵🪡A thread


If you don't know this history as a voter, shame on you. If you graduated from a public high school, there is no excuse to be ignorant to this. Now you may not realize that America is the villain, and we can blame that on propaganda and sanitized media.

The problem with being led by propaganda is that you will defend a lie to no end to protect the image of the nation. You will see no problem with war and famine in the name of American freedom. You will see the oppressed and marginalized as the villain because they dare defend themselves against The Great American Empire.

The vision and perspective of most Americans is distorted. The spectrum goes from blurry to blind. No matter where you land on this spectrum you are problematic. You have to seek the information and additional perspectives in order to correct your vision and see things clearly.


When we seek to understand more about ourselves, others and the world we live in we can evolve and grow. We can become more than was intended for us. We can beat the odds against us.

Likewise, when we fail to educate ourselves OR allow others to educate us we get the opposite. We fail to evolve and grow and we meet the expectations intended for us. We fall prey to the system completely. This is how we ended up with a facist dictator.

Now you may want to correct me when I call DJT a facist dictator. However, I'm just calling him what he told us he would be. Anyone who pretends not to understand who Trump is, they are full of crap. The gaslighting is extreme.


His supporters know he's a horrible person, but they think it's cute because they are also horrible people. PERIOD. Morally bankrupt and intellectually dishonest. I don't care what tax bracket they are in either. The billionaires and white trash have more in common than they think apparently.

Let's not stop there though! The anti Kamala crowd is definitely not off the hook here. How dare you use the endangered lives of helpless people for your own selfish interests. How dare you assume a moral high ground by working against the candidate that could help the people you pretend to care about.

If you cared about Palestine you would want Kamala Harris in the White House vs Trump. FULL STOP. This is what Palestinian people have said! But that savior complex makes you believe that you know better. What a fucking shame, you are wasting so much potential by not knowing how to sacrifice. By not understanding that you are not more important than others you failed us all.



By taking your freedom for granted you gave it away America. No matter HOW he won this election, there is no way it should have gotten this far. So many stop gaps were bypassed because a rich, popular, corrupt white man was the culprit. Welcome to the American nightmare 🖕🏽‼️

Black Matriarchs

The Beauty The Sacrifice The Pain The Longing The Hopefulness The Fear The Weight of being a black mother is something that is not being discussed enough. I am so grateful to Tina Knowles for sharing her story in her book Matriarch. She has helped me recenter my focus on my life's purpose.  In this moment I think about Tina on tour with Beyonce and how she supports her daughter and granddaughters night after night. I am thinking about Marian Robinson who uprooted her life in Chicago to spend 8 years in DC to support her daughter and granddaughters. I'm thinking of my mother who moved from Michigan to Ohio to support her 3 daughters and grandchildren. I'm thinking of my great grandmother who birthed 14 children and died too young. There are so many phenomenal women that keep their families at the center of their priorities WHILE living amazing and meaningful lives themselves.  I come from strong, independent and determined people. People who refused to accept the oppression ...

The Humble Genius

  The marginalized genius will always be more intelligent than the status quo genius. She is able to access perspectives unknown to her white male counterparts. Although they may share the same strengths and abilities, her oppression exposes her to problems and challenges not faced by the majority. This makes her the authority on certain social issues. She should instruct those with the authority to affect change on inclusion and dismantling oppressive systems. She is merely the instructor however, as she cannot facilitate the solutions herself. This seems like an inflammatory statement in THIS society due to white supremacy and patriarchy. If you subscribe to these oppressive systems, this statement will make you uncomfortable, angry even. Hold on to that feeling and reflect. I will continue talking to the rest of us and check in on you before we're done. Now, the topic is The Humble Genius, humility is honest not deluded. So declaring the opening statement is indeed humble. It is...

The Matriarchal Mind

Image
  I'm planting a seed. A seed of hope for a better future for black families. I'm not talking nuclear families. I'm talking about OUR families, which often do not mirror what others deem to be a "proper family". You don't need children to be a matriarch. How many black women do you know who look out for children (and others) that they did not themselves birth? How many child free aunties do you know that always comes through for their nieces and nephews? Black women are the true leaders of the black community. Our leadership looks very different than our men and others outside of our community. We are constantly ridiculed for our brand of leadership, but check the stats. WE UP! I started this blog because social media is not the correct format for me to truly and fully express myself. We cannot discuss many things in mixed company. I'm working on an offline format for us to communicate and fellowship with each other. Until then, use the comments section he...
