Black Guy Does Sociology

This app is often someone going "America has NEVER treated people this badly just because of their identity", meanwhile they're describing a type of treatment Black Americans have been receiving for centuries

*sigh*

I have never been so excited for the clocks to go back, redefining washed out here

This is where it helps to remember that she is in fact a cop

When I say she has some of the worst political instincts I've ever seen...

Do you emotionally manipulate yourself by adding things to your to-do list and then checking them off to feel gratified? Or are you more well-adjusted than me?

It’s no “playing pickup basketball with your friends” but I think it’s moderately newsworthy that the Department of Education is posting Nazi pedophile fan art as official communication

Eagles want him to tear a hammy on national tv

Basically every lunch conversation every teacher has ever had with other teachers.

You can put aside socialist-leftist prescriptions about how dangerous that alliance is, if you would like. But everything I read, across the political spectrum, agrees that these countries are connected. It is just civic maturity to pay attention to Brazil's election.

I'm going to try to do this cleanly. Today's right wing governments are networked to each other. Those networks are well-documented. You can read about them in books. Following the elections in one node of that network is good practice for understanding the U.S. node.

People's brains are fully cooked

I am cognizant of my fears, rather than letting them spill out as angst and then doubling down on that angst. Because of that, I am able to make thoughtful choices about how to treat people and where to put my energy. It doesn't always play out perfectly, but it's better than running on impulse.

I get it. I am worried, and I have very real fears right now. We are entering a tremendously dangerous time. The GOP will do desperate things to influence the outcomes of the midterms, and after losing races. We have every reason to be on alert. But during dangerous times, we must be thoughtful.

A lot of people need to slow down and acknowledge to themselves that they're afraid, and this is affecting how they are interacting with other people. You have to acknowledge the reality of your feelings, or you won't control how they shape your behavior.

Busy today but as long as people don't want to name Whiteness as a central issue, most of these are worthless conversations. "Why does this random collection of men keep advocating for genocide and mass incarceration? Why do some women keep supporting pedophiles?" IT'S BECAUSE THEY'RE WHITE

Yes. There is a relationship between this and the Cornell case for those with eyes to see it

We tried "everyone is entitled to an opinion" for three straight decades and all we have to show for it is four thousand cases of measles and a death cult running the government. It's time for people who don't know what they're talking about to shut the fuck up.

Mothafuckas who have never heard of Bayard Rustin suggesting that sacrificing trans people is somehow wise gets me hot man

To my trans homies, I see the bullshit and I've got yall. This shit is ridiculous

Let's see if he responds to me this time

What I'm not going to let anyone do is leverage Black identity to act like transphobia is somehow "logical" or "mature". Just because you haven't been taught the follies of respectability politics doesn't mean you get to play fucked up spokesperson for the rest of us.

There's something very off about non-Black people using profile pics of Black people

Well only people from certain demographic groups get plattformed despite a lack of credentials...
