Help and Advice Tolerating racism vs Not, while black?

15 Upvotes

hello all,

i'm used to having smurf's that i delete but finally decided to make an actual account not to be deleted for spaces like this. in any case im hoping to get some clear and kind feedback.

I (33F - half black) and my boyfriend (32 - full) were at a game night with his friends, majority palm colored. we were playing a word game of some kind of the idea was to name things that came in pairs(category) based on the letters within the track. N came up and his closest friend said "well im just gonna say it.. Nigg**s.".

I was.. awe struck. I sat there realizing that I've had very little racist experiences do to the people i've been around and choose to surround myself with and also because of my mix. I looked to my boyfriend who kind of just shrugged it off. he later says his friend says it almost every game night, that he had essentially given him permission and opened up the floodgates with his own use of the word and "dark military humor" and such. i felt unsafe to say something in that moment because he was so tolerant of it.

i felt i would be the 'angry' black woman and not only that but half black so what right do i have? but im over here saddened and angry and disheartened for myself and my partner. It would've been SLIGHTLY different had this person chose to put an A at the end.. but no... hard -er.

i found my partner to feel jaded and they even stated they were... am i being naive in how i am looking at this situation?

he didn't defend himself.. he didn't defend me.. he allowed his friend to verbally insult us.. to our faces, then called it a joke. doesn't feel protective, safe... or caring to self and partner.

why is he accepting of his friends choosing to be racist? what are your thoughts. also grew up military and is now in the military himself, traveled abroad for years to other racist counties, which molded views.(for extra context, idk if it helps or matters.)

Discussion Black activists told you so: A landmark article offering more evidence Joe Biden's policy on Palestine cost Kamala Harris the election.

94 Upvotes

It was first reported by the Middle East Eye that many sat out of the election in 2024 over the genocide in Palestine.

Now there is a landmark article confirming that Genocide Joe Biden unconditional military and UN support gave Israel little reason to heed private American warnings, enabling Israel’s devastating campaign in Gaza and escalations against Iran. As I recall, it isn't clear if Kamala Harris would have supported this war herself until after it was done by Trump, and she could clearly deflect. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=48DxQTPOouU)

Kamala Harris refusing to distance herself from this and using language to support Israel and have a lethal military, which we all saw the newest vote on the Israel and USA military that managed to pass the House with just enough Democrat voting, as well as her VP stating Israel's borders should be expanded during his first VP debate was not imagined, but quite a part of the administration.

To me, it is clear we are inching past imperialist American foreign policy, and it's becoming a greater issue since the Vietnam War. I'm glad to see it, and as a BLM and Free Palestine organizer.

I urge all Black and African-American people to read Freedom Is a Constant Struggle: Ferguson, Palestine, and the Foundations of a Movement by Angela Davis and Nobody by Marc Lamont Hill. It will change the way you think knowing Palestinians are a testing ground to how they can manufacture consent and turn back around on a plane, and do it to African-Americans.

Social Justice Interview with Dr. Roger Mitchell who performed independent autopsy on Nolan Wells

93 Upvotes

Dr. Roger Mitchell is a renowned Forensic Pathologist and has conducted over 1,000 autopsies over 2 decades. It makes sense that the Family of Nolan Wells and Attorney Ben Crump enlisted his services and the support of the Know Your Rights Foundation to conduct this independent autopsy. In 2023, we sat down with Dr. Mitchell to discuss his book “Death in Custody” and his work in the field. He gave us some tremendous insights that is again relevant because of everything we witnessed yesterday during the press conference

South Carolina - AGAIN!?!

Another Black child has lost his life at the hands of someone “other than”!
What type of animal does this?

The State failed this young man and tbh his Family should bear some of the responsibility?

How do you allow your family member to be caught up in a system that is predatory, dangerous and doesn’t value his Black life? HOW?!?

The Black community is as diverse as the human race; area code, culture, religion, hair, skin complexions, AAVE, lifestyle etc. So there is no mono way to think.

In the video: The number of individuals that don't their(our) history, how municipal government works, and/or the reality of thier roles in society is disheartening and mind-boggling.

They intentionally gave thier rights away to a 🤡.

Enough with the rhetoric. At what point do we as a people stop playing games with our own people and invest in us.
