“Black Power simply means: Look at me, I’m here. I have dignity. I have pride. I have roots. I insist, I demand that I participate in those decisions that affect my life and the lives of my children. It means that I am somebody.” —Whitney M. Young

People SUFFER + DIE from POVERTY: lack of access to healthcare, scarcity of affordable housing, substandard wages + hunger every day. Black + Brown people go missing daily. Racist encounters can often be fatal. Funny, I don't hear massive calls "for compassion" for their suffering. The 1% definitely don't give a damn. If they did society would look very different. But when billionaires, who due to their own hubris and foolishness, voluntarily take dangerous risks with their own lives, then pay the ultimate price - suddenly there are calls for "compassion and grace." To be the "better person." Folks, people are TIRED of struggling to survive amidst gross social, racial, and economic inequality. The 1% made their fortunes from the literal blood, sweat, and tears of human beings they believe are beneath them. Whether we agree or not with how it's expressed, people have the right to react to karma visiting the rich in any way they choose.

Predictably, #Juneteenth has already been hijacked by corporatism into another holiday where many who aren’t directly connected to it are enjoying the day off in the United States.

So, I encourage you to support Black creators here on the #Fediverse - and Black creators feel free to promote your work by commenting on this post. I’ll start:

So tired of fantasy shows ie., Game Of Thrones, Lord Of The Rings, based on analogs of medieval Europe. That’s why I LOVE #TheBraveOnes on Netflix. An African fantasy series based on African Mythology and centering Africans in the modern era. It’s terrific with production value that is off the charts! FINALLY.

"For instance, after self-proclaimed white supremacist Dylann Roof killed nine Black churchgoers in a Charleston church, police officers were caught allowing him to purchase Burger King. It's as if they were congratulating him for a job well done."

Frankly, I’m tired of new social media platforms that launch with “invites only.” It’s giving a “all the cool kids are here!” vibe. Now people are begging for invites and even trying to sell them. History repeats and folk learn nothing. I’m content here on Mastodon.

Question for fellow Black Mastodon users: What’re your feelings about #Bluesky? #BlackTwitter #BlackMastodon #Blackfediverse
