A reminder that the Black community had more money to invest in their own people before desegregation.

Bringing back segregation only means consumers will see a contrast between offerings.

MLB didn't desegregate because they had a change of heart.

MLB found a way to destroy the Negro Leagues without having to publicly declare they had an inferior product.

This is why desegregation to a bare minimum was an incremental okie-doke from April 15, 1947 to July 21, 1959.

Our history doesn't blink.

Churches have trafficked children for a very long time. The churches in the United States have an industry built around trafficking children.

Keep an eye on them all the time, or pretend to be surprised when you discover a relative has been trafficked by a faith-based organization.

One thing people don't like to talk about is how the fascist movement in the United States is primarily propelled by problematic immigrants who had no family among American WWII veterans on the right side of history.

Which is why they feel entitled to erase the contributions of minorities while tearing down our democracy. These are the sons and daughters of collaborators, bystanders and sycophants.

Sort them out. Most won't hesistate to question a minority with family who served with honor.

@paleofuture.bsky.social Or you could decide that AOC, who doesn't smell like embalming fluid, is more representative of New York.

Heads up St. Johns. They are serving a warrant to a fellow in one of the apartments along Lombard toward Pier Park. He isn't coming out. We know how this story usually ends.

Just a guess that a guy named "Brett" or "Brent" over a megaphone is white. No seeing a lot of battle rattle or drawn weapons. Only a dog. That's the other big clue.

Really hoping this doesn't get violent. We are friends with one of the other lawful tenants blessed with melanin and she has a darling baby boy.

If you like lo-fi, I wrote and recorded 5 full lengths on cassette multitrack back in the day. We always appreciate a little help with the household budget, so thanks in advance for your consideration.

When the Green is white, she can yell all night.

When the Green is Black, they won't have his back.

@jmcrookston Not one member of this parasitic family has ever served this nation.

Broke-ass home studio advice:

You know those bendy strips at the top to close a coffee bag?

They're like the burly cousins of twist ties on bread.

Tear them off empty bags and use them for cable management.

They come free with every pound of coffee. You already need coffee.

An unpleasant reminder that the last segregated home team to play in Brooklyn was the Dodgers on Thursday, October 3, 1946 at Ebbets Field.

Until the strictly white Team Israel was the segregated home team in Brooklyn for the WBC qualifying round on September 22, 2016 at MCU Park.

Desegrated baseball in Brooklyn lasted for 69 years, 11 months, and 19 days.

At least Rachel Robinson wasn't invited to witness the end of a legacy.

Don't want to be called out for ugly history?

Don't make ugly history.

Remember when a major network had a chance to seed small businesses in the greater New York area and make a reality show about it?

Instead they hired a local charlatan who didn't have much of a resume, but he took out a full page ad in the paper condemning five innocent Black men.

All he had to do was remember a two word script and wear a suit. Who could have guessed a major network was grooming a fascist leader?

When somebody doesn't earn anything, it's easier to convince them that they did.

@steter As if anyone would have given a fuck about the Super Bowl without two Black quarterbacks and a Blackity Black halftime show.

These plantation bosses need to go.

"Council Vice President Tiffany Koyama Lane noted the significance of Wednesday’s February 19 date– the 83rd anniversary of executive order 9066...

“My family was surveilled, stripped of their home, livelihood, and dignity,” Koyama Lane told the police chief and sergeant. “So my question is, how can we work together to make sure that history like this isn’t repeated?”

@steter That's the kind of ass kicking that we've been waiting to see from the Blazers.

Public displays of dipshittery at the library tells you a whole lot about a community and the culture it represents.

Went to school with a young woman originally from HB. She left home because older men in her family felt entitled to her body.

Woof. That culture. Thoughts with everyone having to sort out their experiences after growing up in HB.

At least they admit there's a problem.

@TheJen

Football is an American tradition.

Today a pair of Black quarterbacks are playing a Super Bowl in the oldest chocolate city in the country.

Diversity. Equity. Inclusion. On display.

New Orleans is a city where Black folks gave birth to American cultural traditions and nurture them to this day.

A handful of impotent men in a suite shouldn't distract anyone from history.

Remember pasty faced men left people in the Super Dome to die before Gen. Honoré rolled into town.

History doesn't blink.
