Racism is the state-sanctioned and/or extralegal production and exploitation of group-differentiated vulnerabilities to premature death, in distinct yet densely interconnected political geographies.

In the picture of her white shirt and navy shorts, her neck is angled so weirdly. It reminds me of Diana giving shy looks and it's creepy to me that MM would imitate that albeit a terrible imitation.

LOL 🤣🤣🤣

Meghan Markle insanely thinks she is the second coming of Princess Diana.

Two totally opposite looks and totally opposite motives.

Princess Diana worked her ass off to be admired and loved. We all know the story between Charles and Diana. She craved love and attention.

Is Meghan Markle trying to be Princess Diana? If she is, she is going about it the wrong way.

We all loved Harry before MM came on the scene. He was vulnerable, imperfect, and funny. He isn't anymore; he is a shell of himself.

Meghan Markle will continue to suck the life out of him until she finally decides to move on to another lover, dump Harry, and make accusations against him to further her contempt to justify herself.

I think George Soros bet on the wrong pony.

I have to mention Lady C again. There isn't room for MM in black politics.

MM is a hypocrite; they all know she used a man to get to her current status. Loyalty is something to be honored.

Meghan Markle has no honor.

Thank you, Anon

Love, JD 😜💖💋🤟🏻

It's not that difficult to understand why Kayne West and Will Smith inspire so much reluctant ambivalence.

Being Black doesn't make you progressive.

Mansa Musa conquered dozens of his neighbors to make his golden tour possible. But for some people, if a Black man has to step on the necks of hundreds of thousands of his fellow men to have one shining moment of superiority over all Europe, that's a worthwhile price to live vicariously through his memory. Not even his legacy, because he doesn't have one. His kingdom was too parasitic and self-defeating, collapsing into civil war after his death and the rule of his ill-prepared successors.

The kingdom depicted in The Woman King were passionate slavers who advocated for it until the bitter end, but neo-liberal politics puts "Go Get Em, Girl!" feminism above historical honesty or clear moral conscience... Kind of in the same way that their feminism places a greater priority on women becoming the executives of corrupt corporations, NGOs, agencies, and governments rather than on promoting alternatives, which are often led by women, but, you know, don't pay as well ...

Being Black doesn't make you progressive.

It doesn't make you actually care about the needs of the many above the needs of the few. It doesn't even make you care about your own needs above the needs of the people considered Elite. Being Black doesn't save you from hero worship or falling susceptible to the argument of the divine right of kings... Especially since your culture never reconciled why it tolerates any of these beliefs if they've never done anything to help.

Being Black doesn't make you care more about unions. Being Black doesn't make you more interested in seeing Black-owned companies on the Forbes Best Companies to Work For list than on the Forbes Fortune list.

Being Black doesn't make you progressive.

“According to Adam Smith, the discovery of America and the Cape route to India are ‘the two greatest and most important events recorded in the history of mankind.’ The importance of the discovery of lay not in the precious metals it provided but in the new and inexhaustible market it afforded for European commodities. One of its principle affects was to ‘raise the mercantile system to a degree of splendor and glory wish you could never otherwise have attained to.’”

Eric Williams - Capitalism and Slavery, 47 (1944, 1994)
