Showing up, asking questions, making demands, and engaging is what we should be doing, not dropping out of the political process.

🤔

I was looking at the site Cameo with the search "black" , just to see what came back (it was worth a shot) ...

... Out of the contemporary celebrities listed, I just saw Jidenna and Akon (Pan-Africanist bent) ..

Are there any other openly pro-black celebrities (Issae Rae easily comes to mind) either past or present that you can think of?

Newsom: DeSantis isn’t anti-woke, he’s ‘anti-Black’​

The California governor castigated his Republican rival on “Late Night with Seth Meyers.”

Gov. Gavin Newsom took another swing at his Republican nemesis in a conversation with “Late Night” host Seth Meyers Wednesday, stopping just short of calling Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis racist.

“It’s not anti-woke,” he said of the Republican governor’s conservative policies. “What he really means is anti-Black.”

A spokesperson for DeSantis did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The Seth Meyers appearance follows last month’s face-off with DeSantis, moderated by Fox News’ Sean Hannity, where Newsom struggled to land direct jabs at the Florida governor in a messy, 90-minute debate. The California Democrat, a major surrogate for President Joe Biden’s reelection campaign and probable 2028 White House contender, had hoped to show off his blue state bonafides on the national stage. But what was billed as a fair fight between the governors quickly devolved into a two-on-one situation, with Newsom fending off blows from both Hannity and DeSantis.

Speaking in more friendly territory to Meyers in New York City Wednesday, the Democratic governor had free rein to castigate DeSantis — including his floundering presidential campaign.

“I’m not running for president,” Newsom said. “Ron DeSantis, apparently, still is.”

Newsom accused him of censoring facts, rewriting history and going after marginalized groups.

“I’ve developed a lot of animus toward him because of his animus toward all of you,” he said to the studio audience that frequently applauded Newsom. “This guy is scapegoating vulnerable communities. He’s attacking minorities, attacking women, and I don’t like it.”

Newsom has repeatedly rebuffed speculations that he’s mounting a bid for president in 2024, and has shown deference to Biden. He told Meyers “it was an honor to be” on Hannity “to tell the truth about the Biden record”. He’s also criticized Democrats for failing to counter Republican narratives on culture war issues.
The governor hit that point again on Wednesday, saying that he agreed to the debate because he felt it was important to “hold these guys accountable.”
“I wanted to push back against it,” he said of DeSantis’ policies around transgender students and drag shows. “I felt like the party was a little timid on all this.”

He said Democrats need to be the ones hitting Republicans first over things like gun control.

“On all of these issues we’re on the right side but we just need to get on the other side of our anxieties and doubts and go on the offensive,” he said.
Meyers also gave Newsom a chance to rebuff Republican criticism of his own state, asking him about the pervasive homelessness in California, a costly high-speed rail project and the problems plaguing his hometown of San Francisco.

“They’ve been on a doom loop about San Francisco ever since Nancy Pelosi became speaker,” Newsom said.

This is something people need to keep an eye on. We know a lot of the so called news that is put out there are lies so this AI is going to be trained to lie. One of the main dudes at OpenAI stepped down not that long ago too. They sugarcoat this as being a good thing but it isn't. Don't be fooled.

I've seen this constantly. We see it on social media. Divestors/Swirlers, Kendra G show, not enough brothers on my level. Maybe for some of you ladies on here, you say its true. My home girls have said as much.

However, I have not seen it among my homies and myself. In my early to mid 20s I've dated or tried to date a few women who made more than me, but its not been my experience when I got near 30 and beyond.

100k and more seems to be the bench mark that is discussed. I did some googling and it didn't take too long to find the percentage of Black men making 100k or more. But for some strange reason I'm having problems finding the same information for sisters. If anyone has any verifiable percentages, please post them.

TBA has said that after a certain age brothers take off. That seems to be the case among me and my friends. The sisters we knew 10 years ago in our job status aren't making as much on average and the one that are, they're carrying way more debt. They have far more student loans. They spend far more each month. They live a far higher lifestyle. A friend of mine said his sista coworker has a much more expensive apartment, and when she goes on vacation stays at far more expensive hotels. Sisters (and women in general) do far more IG clout chasing.

Well if it could happen, I suppose this is close to it
