So basically Black people are a couple of court cases and a republican president away from being permanent second class citizens

All this court case suing shyt really had me in the shower like :dahell:

These judges have basically decided that anything designed to help Black people after being disenfranchised for years is "racist." Okay.

So now dudes are talking about working on zipcodes and shyt. But the same cracker ass cracker judges can just say that disproportionately helps Black people and is therefore "racist" as well, can't they? :dahell:


"That's unconstitutional" you might say. So then we sue. And then it goes to... the white supremacist Supreme Court that Trump picked, and gets shot down in another 6-3 decision :dahell:


So basically all these judges that trump picked are set up to rewrite the rules so that we can't be helped and that everything is "standard." But "standard" in a majority white country favors... white people. What we gonna do? They can literally say its constitutional in a 6-3 decision :dahell:


The only recourse is that they might be moving slow and playing cute right now because we have a democratic president. But if they get a republican, really, what the fukk are you gonna do? Violent unrest? The republican president calls down the national guard.:dahell: Play the legal game? 6-3 nikka :dahell:



If we really be real we already lost in 2016 and now we're holding on by a hair. We need Dems in the oval office until one of the older supreme justices (ideally two) die so shyt can be saved and we can back on track. otherwise that's a wrap for decades, maybe centuries

black people have been on thin ice since brown vs. board of education. the integration that decision supposedly won us was always tenuous, built on a foundation of unearned faith in a system that was historically hostile to our status as citizens.

we’ve spent decades trying to force equality in a society that is inherently unequal, whose constitution literally codified us as subhuman, wording that still exists to this day.

we’re a community of historically ignorant magical thinkers.

Above the fray.
Been advocating here for years for people to come together and pool resources and build up our own institutions and organizations.


Writing was on wall for years about the federal dismantling of Affirmative Action. The same forces are now challenging individual initiatives and programs one by one to discourage the forming of new ones.

Any Black person who has plans/goals for education, occupation, homeownership knows exactly who the forces are that are trying to hinder and limit your opportunities, protections, and legal recourse.

Openly doing it.

The both sides and maga stuff is said here by attention-seekers, who likely don't even vote. But for the ones who do buy into it, they are disillusioned, angry, and easy to manipulate. They have no plans or goals, so rolling back the calendar on equity measures doesn't mean anything to them.

Yup and black America isn't paying attention. The only major black voice I see sounding the alarm is Roland Martin.

Its going to happen right under our noses. Another Trump presidency will seal our fate. He'll be able to appoint more far right judges that will oversee a lot of these cases.

A lot of these both side/accelerationists will be happy though. Because at that point our only option will be through bloodshed. And I mean that literally.

I think its that a lot of people dont care. If you look at black tiktok or black twitter, they're jsut posting black wife effect or caitlyn clark discourse.

Dr Claude Anderson warned Black ppl about this decades ago :comeon:
He did... but it's academia's role to warn its constintuents. If you look at black academia, they've been focused on "other" things instead of focusing on developing frameworks to stop people like Leonard leo and Chris Rufo.
