….Black men can’t effectively work towards projects of freedom without ethically engaging and understanding how Black feminism(s) actually help free us.
Check out some of these pieces of Black men doing that work:

This joint finally hit me, Black feminism is the intellectual way of emasculating Black men

Two Black boys running a lemonade stand received an unexpected show of support after someone called 911 on them. Instead of shutting them down, Kansas City police officers and firefighters showed up to support them, helping them earn hundreds of dollars. This is what community should look like! Investing in our youth instead off discouraging their entrepreneurship. ✊🏿

So glad R.A.W. reminded me of the late Dr. Selamawit Terrefe's notes on so-called Black self-defense. This is exactly why Karmelo could never be understood as defending himself

i swear we did this entire dance when i was 14? all the ivy league black students who were lynched? all the black children going missing from the hood? Black death from behind the prison walls?
there is no cheat code on the plantation. there is only destroying the plantation.

For PRIDE Month, incarcerated contributor Ashlee Inscoe offers critiques of both the prison and medical industrial complex’s queer and transphobic violence, in her experience in the North Carolina prison system as an intersex woman.

there is no afro-pessimist that isn’t, in the first instance, a critical/conflicted black feminist. critical black feminism preconditions afropessimism, as many of its leading theorists say. anyone calling themselves an afro-pessimist in opposition to black feminism is not one.

It is so diabolically anti-empirical and anti-intellectual
To suggest that the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA)
Using any COIN actionable at its disposal - including the Ford Foundation and many other philanthropic fronts
Did not play a central role in shaping black studies programs (black intellectual thought) in US universities (HBCU & PWI) the last 60 years
Including the ideology, we know today as
Black feminism
This is where the conversation must begin

it should always been understood that “justice” is a grammar of legal capture, not a pendulum that swings in the favor of the righteousness or truth.

to frame it this way means we can approach the state’s “dropped balls” and “broken promises” honestly. it should be CLEAR 10-15 years post-Abolition becoming The Left’s popular organizing logic that concessions end rebellion as they provide new means of laundering

Atlanta is not missing the research, the institutions, the funds or the answers
It’s missing the implementation and it has no incentive to take large scale action
Ask the city where it’s “equity agenda” was *before* thousands took the streets 4 years ago

FL police use A.I. to identify a vehicle theft suspect from surveillance video. Based on an "85% match" they arrest and charge Jalil Richardson. He spends 3 months in jail. He loses his job, his home, and custody of his kids.
Richardson lives in N.C.
He's never been to Florida. And his timesheet shows him at work at the time of the crime. No one checked before charging him. yahoo.com/news/us/articles/a…

I also don’t think it’s a coincidence that this afropessimism “debate” always comes back around after some form of gratuitous violence committed by a poc makes headlines—rip Cyrus Carmack-Benton.
the negrophobic bonding of your rainbow coalitions needs somewhere to go.
