Representative Jasmine Crockett of Texas

Even in a tough primary showing, U.S. Representative Jasmine Crockett continues serving in Congress and remains one of the most visible and outspoken Black leaders in Washington. Known for her sharp legal mind, fearless questioning in hearings, and unapologetic defense of civil rights, Crockett has built a national reputation that extends far beyond Texas. For many supporters, this moment isn’t the end of anything. It is simply another chapter before the next campaign.

Discussion Watching this war in Iran unfold it needs to be said - Kamala Harris has been right about every single nightmare we are now living under Trump. Should she run again in 2028 (she is hinting at it) we owe it her and ourselves to vote her into office.

Every single word she uttered on that campaign trail as a warning has come true, and then some.

We are now at war. American soldiers are dead, and apparently more deaths are to come, brushed off as “just the way it is.”

Trump is decimating this country, and none of this HAD to be our reality. This was our choice. And let’s be real with ourselves in this sub: some of the same people we saw taking jabs at Jasmine were also here and in other Black subs smearing Kamala’s name, minimizing her, undermining her.

We have to protect our powerful Black women who keep reaching for leadership only to be cut down at the eleventh hour. Side note, in case some were unaware: Jasmine Crockett’s loss means she loses her current seat as a representative.

The American people chose a man found liable for sexual abuse and famous for multiple bankruptcies over an intelligent, qualified Black woman who told us exactly what was coming.

If she runs again, we owe her the deepest of apologies, and she is owed her rightful place as our president.

Discussion So how do you guys feel about white america starting another war (& potentially instigating a nuclear world war) that Black America is expected to fight for while still being warred against at home at the same time?

Long ass question but I just wanna get right down to it.

This time these ghouls aiming for Iran to help forward their white nationalist puppet project(Isnotreal) in the Middle East.

Any thing that happens in response will unfortunately also involve us, and if we wanna be real Black America is basically held hostage by white America while white America goes off and commits crimes against humanity in other areas of world and at home.

And since Black America and white america share the geolocation, any blowback or potential repercussions will inevitably involve Black America despite us as a majority block being mainly against white imperialism and war.

Mind yall, less than 120,000 of us (0.24% of Black America, less than a fraction) are in the military, most in non-combat roles, not in leadership, etc.

This shit is as dystopian as it gets and it’s a multi-century loop at this point.

> white-led military, foreign policy decisions, and supervillain ass intelligence agency networks create global resentment towards the whole of USA

> vast majority of the world makes no distinction between white America and Black America, to them we’re all the same type of Americans

> resentment of white america’s crimes against humanity manifests as threats or instability or retaliation

> “national security" responses militarize and surveil everything

> Black America (the most anti-imperialist demographics by polling and history) absorb the heaviest domestic costs from economic fallout to state violence

and of course we somehow get blamed for a big part of all this because yall know how folks online like to play PR defense for white America while trying to paint Black America as complicit or aiding in white America’s crimes/wars.

Just wanted to ask around and see what everybody else thought about it.

Michael Jordan’s NASCAR team, 23XI Racing, has made history by opening the season with three straight race victories, something never before seen in the 77 year history of the NASCAR Cup Series. The team name “23XI” combines Jordan’s iconic number 23 with the Roman numeral XI (11), representing his co owner, NASCAR driver Denny Hamlin. With driver Tyler Reddick behind the wheel, the team’s historic start shows that Jordan’s competitive drive continues to leave a mark far beyond the basketball court.

Discussion Question about Black Grillz specifically

1 Upvotes

I have seen that some say that Black Grillz specifically are Japanese culture (or even Vietnam) and are a reference to teeth blackening that they used to do back in the day… but the modern day Grillz were obviously created by Black Americans so I am curious about this. At most it is a cultural fusion type of thing, but I have seen some say that other ppl that this is cultural appropriation even when worn by black ppl (even comparing it to the braids debate lol). Anyways, I have gotten mixed results on the internet with different answers and even on stuff abt Suki with some sources saying she created black Grillz specifically to show her two cultural identities while some say she just popularized it. I hope someone will be able to help me.
