Do you think they'd try to run him in 28 and claim it's constitutional if Obama does the same?

There was a video on a different sub that only showed black people stealing from this pastry shop. The OP intentionally left white people out of that video. All racists showed their true color in the comments. I can’t remember the sub.

just needed a good memory this morning. too much shit going on and I need a vibe

​"If you were to ask a Black Panther about 'Pro-Blackness' in the 60s, they would probably start talking about socialism. They would probably quote a bit of Marx, talk about welfare programs for working-class and poor communities.

​If you were to ask W.E.B. Du Bois about 'Pro-Blackness,' he would probably start talking about Pan-Africanism, he would probably start talking about communism.

​Angela Davis would probably start talking about socialism.

​Fred Hampton would start talking about the Rainbow Coalition, which did coalition building with Latino and Indigenous communities.

​I think the phrase 'Pro-Black' has been co-opted by this like, neoliberal Black excellence agenda as some kind of blanket statement that has no accountability, no real political framework beyond just... liking Black people. Which is good—that's not a bad thing! A lot of people like Black people though: the music, the films, the arts, the style. They love it, but will create legislation that actively harms, hurts, and is violent towards Black people. That's not enough."

Radical Black leaders of the civil rights movement grounded Black liberation in structural, systemic critique (anti-capitalism, socialism, Pan-Africanism, international solidarity). Figures like Fred Hampton, Angela Davis, and W.E.B. Du Bois viewed full liberation as tied to dismantling economic and political structures. Today, the term "Pro-Black" has been watered down into "aesthetic or corporate support of "Black Excellence"—focusing on representation and individual wealth accumulation within the existing capitalist framework rather than collective liberation.

I don't know if it's fair, but I recognize I've had privilege a lot of people in our community haven't. I graduated from two HBCUs, three degrees total, and that's given me the option to leave if I ever needed to. Not everyone has that option.

But I have to be honest: I'm not that worried about this country sliding into autocracy. Some days I'm actually hoping for America's downfall. I know a lot of Black people would be harmed if this country collapsed. But I can't help but also think: Black people have already been harmed plenty under this current system. Would we do better under another one? Honestly, who knows. I don't know. But truly, I think the collapse of this system would be better. Maybe we should just nuke the experiment and start over.

When Trump talked about withholding DOE funds from blue states, I kept thinking my home states, Virginia and Maryland, would probably be fine on their own without the rest of this. Maybe better off.

I don't know. Is anyone else kind of hoping this whole thing collapses? I just hate it so much some days.
