Never thought that this was gonna go viral but thanks to everyone who chimed in.
They say it takes a village, well I made a promise to mother on her death bed that I would make sure my nephew graduated from high school. Mission accomplished. Now he is on his way to an Electrical apprenticeship program so he continue his goal of becoming an electrician.

Tethers & Tokens — Who Gets Elevated and Why. Episode 1: What is a tether? Where did the concept come from? And why does naming it make certain people so uncomfortable? We're building the framework. 🧵

Three types of tethers we're tracking through this whole series: Cultural — your art form gets adopted and monetized while you get pushed to the margins. Political — your vote gets packaged as coalition proof while your specific demands get called divisive. Institutional — your HBCUs and community infrastructure get repurposed for universal access programs that don't center you. One pattern. Three lanes.

The word "tether" didn't get attacked because it was wrong. It got attacked because it was accurate. Specificity threatens ambiguity. And ambiguity is how the wrong people stay comfortable. S3E1 is live TONIGHT AT 8PM EDT. Watch it. Share it. youtube.com/live/kkpY1raUN9M…

My homeboy @ObatalasImage and his wife were the first black beauty supply store in Desoto, TX and black women decided to stop patronizing their store because an Asian owner open up across the street and marked all of her prices 50% off. Which forced my peeps out of business.

Serious question: How did Tennessee State vs. Jackson State end up scheduled on the exact same day, at the exact same time, in the exact same stadium as a Titans preseason game? Did nobody check the calendar? Because there’s no way two major football events were supposed to occupy the same venue at the same time. Make it make sense.

$50,000 to Foos Gone Wild — in the official campaign spending disclosures. CHP escort out of Leimert Park — multiple sources confirmed. State investigation — California Fair Political Practices Commission. He advanced to November. The man who pressed him to his face didn't. Tonight we talk about what that means. @billionis55 | @itsculturepodcast | 7:30PM EDT

One thing I’ve noticed is that Black Americans seem to live rent-free in everybody’s head. We can be 13% of the population and somehow become the center of conversations about sports, music, culture, crime, politics, education, language, fashion, family structure, and patriotism, all at the same time. A white commentator can watch an NBA game and instead of talking about basketball, immediately starts imagining what Black players are thinking during the National Anthem. Why? Because for some people, Black Americans aren’t just citizens, we’re an obsession. It’s almost like our cultural influence is a superpower. People study us, criticize us, imitate us, profit from us, fear us, blame us, and then claim we’re irrelevant in the same breath. The irony is that many of the same people who say Black Americans complain too much spend an extraordinary amount of time talking about Black Americans. From my perspective, that’s why lineage matters. Our history, culture, politics, and identity have had such a profound impact on America that people who have never walked in our shoes still feel the need to constantly explain us to ourselves. If we’re supposedly so insignificant, why can’t they stop talking about us?
Notice how only White players for the Spurs put their hand over their heart during the National Anthem. Wemby crosses his arms. Most of them are probably singing the Black “anthem” under their breath. Black America has a patriotism problem.
Community note
For context, it is helpful to know that Wemby is French, not American en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victor_We…

Two days ago he didn’t advance in the AD-55 primary. Tom Steyer, who paid $50K to Foos Gone Wild and needed CHP to leave Leimert Park, did.
