I am SO against age-deterministic goal setting. Studies prove that goal orientated (versus growth orientated) mindset is defeatist. If u fail to meet a goal by some age, what's next? Beating yourself up? blaming yourself? Is there room to try again? I hope the defeatism is clear.

These utterances I find them demeaning to say the least. People jumped off slave ships and drowned themselves in protest to be slaves. At what point didn't our people resist

Very incorrect and ahistorical placard. Docile ancestors are only found in the colonizer's dreams. Our ancestors fought before capture, on the ships, across the Atlantic, on the plantations. Everywhere!

Yes, we are not our ancestors and that is precisely why we will never fuck anything up!

In this 1972 interview, Angela Davis was asked if she approved of violence in protest. Her response is must-watch material.

legitimately stunned that CNN didn’t cut Cornel West’s mic. Maybe someone in the control room was just as enraptured as I am

And in a few years when they're heads of industry and their videos resurface, we'll be told they were going and going through a phase. 🙂

the maxim “kill/eat the rich” shares the same rhetorical strategy with “fuck the police” and “men are trash”. they are all provocative and declarative, but they are not hyperbolic or bombastic. these sayings produce a kind of solidarity and integral common sense about the stakes.

to address them without acknowledging the offensive nature of the word. For example, wether or not you are offended by the word nigga, the person who said it is exposed as racist, but you can't address their racism without acknowledging that the word nigga is racially offensive.

Exactly. And my thing is; even if the word does not offend you, you now know the person to be a racist, does that not rile you up in any way? Focusing on the word is kind of limited because a lot of other things are communicated in that exchange but it is impossible... 1/2

@QamaniNjara People really think racists take some time to guess your nationality before choosing the derogatory term that will best offend you lol. They'll say whatever comes to mind.

That a person does not feel personally offended does not negate that the word was meant to offend...and that the person who used it sees you as less than...
