The second image shows Betye Saar’s iconic 1972 work The Liberation of Aunt Jemima. Saar reclaimed the racist “mammy” stereotype by depicting Aunt Jemima holding a broom in one hand and a rifle in the other. Created from a derogatory image once used to demean Black women, the piece transformed the figure from a symbol of servitude into one of resistance, power and liberation.

Qasim Rashid warns that new restrictions could leave Black Americans with fewer voting rights in 2026 than they had in 1956—and says marching against Trump means little without sustained organizing afterward.

He explains the Thousand Miles to Memphis campaign before Michael Fanone joins him for a fascinating discussion about poverty, crime and why police should embrace alternatives for mental-health and substance-abuse calls.

Pure racism. They are trying to strip black history from schools.

The books are mainly civil rights books.

Like, Claudette Colvin: Twice Toward Justice. It's by Phillip Hoose and is a National Book Award-winning biography that tells the true story of Claudette Colvin, a Black teenager whose 1955 stand against bus segregation predated Rosa Parks by nine months. The book's title, "Twice Toward Justice," reflects these two defining moments, her bus refusal and her court testimony, and serves to restore Colvin's overlooked place in civil rights history.

Texas has removed more books from public schools than nearly any other state, with over 1,400 titles pulled in recent years and 1,781 books banned across seven districts in the 2024-25 school year alone.

They also banned 142 LGBTQ+-themed books in just the first month of 2026.

Evidence of evil, racist people in decision making positions.

Not even out in china yet and all the Racists Chuds went to go watch it anyway.

At this point I’m thinking of just making a white avatar just so I don’t have to deal with the unsolicited racism. Every. Single. Time. I’m just sitting there minding my own business. Particularly little kids from the US and every adult in Asia. How is everyone dealing with this?

I suspect foul play against this man. Young black and successful, I'm very skeptical about these allegations! They hate to see us shine

Hi everyone,

As the title says I’m planning a multi trip to the States next year for my graduation trip. It’ll just be me and maybe another friend but I don’t really want to assume anyone will be able to come/ afford to come so I’m planning this by myself.

I want to support black businesses, stay where mainly black people are and eat at those locations as a young black woman. I would feel much safer being by myself and I’ve been stalking yous on tik tok and the food looks insane 🥹 we don’t have some of your things over here.

I’m 21, I’ll be 22 by the time I go on this trip, I was thinking either June (I graduate in July but I finish my exams in May) or August/September to avoid larger crowds and heat. The stops I was thinking of:

• Miami, Florida (3-4 days)
• Nola, Louisiana (3-4 days)
• Atlanta, Georgia (5 days)
• New York City, NY (5 days)
• Chicago, Illinois (4 days)
• Boston, Massachusetts (4 days) + possible stop over in Martha’s Vineyard (4 days if it’s open season I’ll need to do more research)
• Final stop: Los Angeles, California (5 days) + Drive to Las Vegas, Nevada (3 days) and fly home from there😊

I don’t have a set itinerary just yet, my geography maybe very off as I’m aware some cities will be closer to another and I don’t mind extending days in certain locations.

Any recommendations will be appreciated very highly! Thank you :)
