It's almost impossible to underestimate the damage done to the struggle by insecure Black folks who don't want to admit that #ADOS folks are stably broken and degraded in the US. What is it going to take to admit that we aren't winning?

“Despite hosting a presidential debate within 3 miles of Black-owned and Black-led media outlets in Atlanta, CNN did not extend an invite to the event to locally-based publications catering to a Black audience.” 🤦🏾‍♂️ atlantablackstar.com/2024/06…
“Reporters from abroad, whose reader demographics are less likely to vote in the upcoming election, were informed and granted media credentials to this week’s presidential debate hosted by CNN, but Black media were not.” atlantablackstar.com/2024/06…

The whole “Black Jobs” discourse should be illuminating to working class Black Americans! We have to advocate for ourselves educated or not. YOU cannot leave your advocacy to the “community”, large swaths of BLACK AMERICANS are eager to throw us under a bus to score cheap points!

In her dissent, Justice Sonia Sotomayor, joined by Justices Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson, wrote that the decision would leave society’s most vulnerable with fewer protections. She added that the laws, which impose fines and potential jail time for people “sleeping anywhere in public at any time, including in their cars, if they use as little as a blanket to keep warm or a rolled-up shirt as a pillow,” punished people for being homeless. “That is unconscionable and unconstitutional,” Justice Sotomayor wrote. She read her dissent from the bench, a rare move that signals profound disagreement.

SCOTUS basically saying government doesn’t have to do its job of taking care of its citizens, ie affordable housing, but can harass & exclude the homeless. A hellscape. nytimes.com/2024/06/28/us/po…

We *ARE* a wealthless group, with zero social capital to boost us, so yes, “Black jobs” exist. We are low income workers. The people mocking the “Black jobs” comment are largely Black Boule or Boule attached. That’s why they gotta go. They shouldn’t be representing us.
Yes. There are such things as Black jobs. Severe occupational segregation is barely a generation away. There is a reason that your HVAC guy isn't Black.

Was the “Black media” at the White House sounding the alarm here? #ADOS, both our politicians & the media we would use to hold them accountable are captured. There is a conspiracy of silence that has folks acting as cheerleaders for celebrities & abandoning their families
It’s officially December 26 in Jackson, Mississippi and the faucets are dry. I keep hearing national news reports saying we are under boil water alert and that’s true. But we don’t even have water to boil!

❌ Black housekeepers “The Hampton Inn is accused of firing Black housekeepers because of their race and retaliating against those who had complained. According to the EEOC, the general manager of the Hampton Inn hotel advised her employees that she wanted to get ‘Mexicans’ in”

🤬🤬🤬 You know that racist lie that “liberals” parrot about illegal immigrants doing jobs that “Blacks” don’t want to do? 🤬 Well, read this EEOC lawsuit describing the kind of discrimination encountered by African Americans vegetable and fruit pickers:

“Revealed: 93% of districts in major US cities unaffordable to Black residents” If we disaggregate the data I am willing to bet it’s near 100 percent for #ados. theguardian.com/world/2022/m… And you wonder why #ados said reparations is the last chance for #ados.

This is about most on point analysis of what happened to Whoopi Goldberg. This pundits connection of how what has been done/continues to be done to descendants of slavery in the United States far outweighs what happened to other communities is spot on - is categorically different

Thank you @PathwaysDC for standing up for people who are homeless and against the creation of no tent zones.
"We cannot continue to punish individuals for the failures of systems and must instead apply this urgency and attention to connecting residents with housing using a person-centered approach that honors human dignity. Housing ends homelessness." See our full statement - attached.
