As a black person living in the USA, what do you do if a white person wants to become violent towards you?
I think we should stop using woke and start using "conscious" again
As usual the libs and crackers can't stop stealing from us, something dope like "woke" that used to mean being aware that we are in a country that was not built for us is now a punchline that just makes me cringe...but it's kinda hard to fuck up "conscious"; I thought it was lit when we were using it so perhaps we should just go...

From City Hall, the demonstrators marched to Krasner’s office where speakers included members of a French delegation who delivered the petitions.

Jamaal Bowman, AIPAC, Phony Progressives, and Black Misleadership | Black Agenda Report ( www.blackagendareport.com )
This race brings up an age old political question for Black people. Should the light weight goofball be supported when in danger of losing his office because of big money pressure from a group of white people or should he be treated with the same indifference that he meted out to them? Bowman’s absence, like his presence,...

Malcolm X, Ho Chi Minh, ¡presente! ( www.workers.org )
Ho Chi Minh stated: “It is well-known that the Black race is the most oppressed and the most exploited of the human family.

Mumia Abu-Jamal on Zionism’s double standards ( www.workers.org )
The liberals call for a ceasefire. Why not go to the core of things by demanding an end to occupation? Don’t Palestinians deserve freedom? Don’t Palestinians deserve a right to exist? Don’t Palestinians deserve statehood? Or are these things only for [neocolonists]?...

Linking the struggle at home and abroad: Remembering the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. ( www.workers.org )
What is little known is that Dr. King took a progressive stance on the question of Palestine in response to the 1967 Six-Day War that [neocolonialism] launched, with the support of the U.S., against Egypt, Syria and Jordan, that resulted in [neocolonists] occupying Gaza, the West Bank and the Sinai Peninsula....

From Reconstruction to Malcolm X: Black history is about struggle ( www.workers.org )
The legacies of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X have been co-opted. While representing opposite sides of the political and ideological barricades, they both supported reparations for people of African descent.

Black labor: From chattel slavery to wage slavery ( www.workers.org )
A great deal has been written about Eli Whitney as the inventor of the cotton gin and as a great scientist, which he certainly was. However, according to some accounts, the first gin made in Mississippi was constructed on the basis of a crude drawing by a skilled slave. This was probably not very unusual in light of the fact...
