For any new followers (finally) fleeing from Twitter: hello, I'm Anthony, and I run a blog (split into two sections) about media and tech. I write about comics, animation, Linux/blogging/other tech, streaming services, and diversity in the above. My Mastodon posts are mostly along similar lines as the above, plus occasional mention of sports. Thanks for following me! #TwitterMigration #Twitter #Mastodon #BlackMastodon #LGBTQ #Introduction

Whenever people ask "why can't Black people in America create vibrant commuities?" the answer is: they did. Multiple times. Those communities were just systematically wiped out by white supremacists. In the late 19th - early 20th century by racist mobs with the support of the Democrats. In the post-WWII era by racist urban planners with the support of the Republicans. #BlackFedi #BlackMastodon #BlackTwitter #Blackademia https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2OWSre7dNbY

"Black Americans born in the early 1960s typically have more than 300 African and 50 European ancestors dating back to when captive Africans arrived in North America in 1619, according to a new study using computational analysis of genetic data." #BlackMastodon #BlackFriday https://www.axios.com/2023/07/27/study-sheds-light-black-americans-ancestry

On July 5, 1852, Frederick Douglass delivered his greatest speech, "What to the Slave is the 4th of July?" Resonating with principles of freedom & equality, this speech was a powerful indictment of American hypocrisy & moral decay, as a nation simultaneously celebrated freedom while it enslaved millions. He compelled white Americans to confront the inherent moral contradictions in their society or face dire consequences. 1/31 #BlackMastodon #Histodons #History

A well known poignant poem from Countee: “Incident” Once riding in old Baltimore, Heart-filled, head-filled with glee, I saw a Baltimorean Keep looking straight at me. Now I was eight and very small, And he was no whit bigger, And so I smiled, but he poked out His tongue, and called me, “Nigger.” I saw the whole of Baltimore From May until December; Of all the things that happened there That’s all that I remember. 2/3 #BlackMastodon #Histodons #History #Poetry

Countee Cullen would be 120 years old in a few days. Not as well known as poets like Langston Hughes, Cullen was an intimate and prominent poet of the Harlem Renaissance. His verses explored themes of identity, race, and cultural heritage, and challenged the prevailing societal norms of the time. He had an elegant and craftsmanship that went a long way toward elevating the status of African American poetry in the mainstream literary genre. #BlackMastodon #Histodons #History #Poetry #Books

I can only think, and I'd bet money, after all the headlines "footage to be released soon", they released that video specifically on a Friday night for a reason Friday night, you angry and disgusted Saturday you upset and a little sad but you do some self care Sunday you go to church, get with the fam, watch some football Back at work on Monday I hope your gears are turning 1/X #BlackMastodon #BlackMastodonAllies @[email protected] @[email protected]

Even better than patronizing Black businesses or donating to orgs and social programs and mutual aid (do all that too), and... Give Black People money. Just give it to em. And all marginalised people. Give em money. They can't do the work of change because they're just trying to live, fear unemployment, choices don't exist. Because of "The Economy" You don't need a mechanism to make it feel justified Just give em money #BlackMastodon @[email protected] @[email protected]
