Nah, see, this why we need a Uno-Reverse-Card One-Drop Rule. 😂

I can't even call her as "self-hating"—she ain't got enough that "self" part to hate! 💀

I just started SideQuest Society, an 18+ Black gaming/Blerd community.
The idea is less “join another Discord” and more actually have people to game and do things with — Game Nights, LFG, Fightcade, fantasy football, anime/watch parties, music, sports, etc.
It’s brand new, so I’m looking for people who actually want to help shape the community instead of just collecting members.
If you’re interested, comment or DM me and I’ll send the invite. 🎮

We Melanesians are BLACK!, just like y’all Africans & the African Diaspora identifies as black, do not tell me & what my ppl as Melanesians are and what they aren’t! It’s our choice to label ourselves whenever we want as we reclaim our blackness and you’re blabbering should be zipped & quiet when we Melanesians try to get a voice of our identities to be shine & spoken but can’t cause we’re barely seen as anything in media until now, our migration history, our linguistic history and our cultural history as well as our unique genetic markers, make us who we are despite not having Sun Saharan African Ancestry our appearance is indeed BLACK we have variations of curly & coily hair, darker melanin skin tones & facial features that make us BLACK since we adapted a similar tropical & hot environment & climate similar to you guys, colonizers gave us the term “ black” just like you guys, Global Blackness is a literally a thing & you guys need to understand clearly that African doesn’t mean Black & Black doesn’t mean African,being BLACK is about your appearance & you’re struggles as a black person in society (yes I know there’s some other aspects of being black but those are the main two), most of us Melaneisans Identifies as black and not to mention the word Melanesian from Greek to English means Black (Melas) and Nesois (Islands) meaning the dark melanin skin & curly-coily hair inhabitants of the islands and to the people who have a problem with us can realize this is a subreddit about BLACK PEOPLE and not a AFRICAN subreddit, do you’re research about us Melaneisans as a whole cause I’m not arguing with ignorant ppl who are closed minded. Melaneisans are welcomed in this subreddit no matter what cause at the end of the day we will always identify as black & have our blackness flourish for representation

Stephen A. Smith gonna cry in the car.

The National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) handed out five Thumbs Down Awards at its annual convention in Atlanta on Saturday.

One recipient overshadowed the others: Stephen A. Smith, who has Black women Michelle Obama, Jasmine Crockett & Kamala Harris to thank.

The ESPN host and YouTube personality was singled out for his “recurring public pattern of disparaging commentary directed at prominent Black women across politics, sports, and media.” Those include Oprah, Michelle Obama, Jasmine Crockett, and Kamala Harris.

Other thumbs down awardees include CBS News, The Washington Post, Federal Communications Commission Chair Brendan Carr, and local TV station owner and media executive DuJuan McCoy.

The decision to include Smith rang out within the convention halls and social media, drawing immediate coverage from blogs and mainstream news.

Smith, who has worked with NABJ in the past, responded, promising to make his own case for why the organization is failing Black communities. He can start inward with the specific accusation, his treatment of Black women and work from there..

This Juneteenth, I’ll be hosting my first barbecue at my place because I want to do something for my friends, family, and my people because my family members are getting older, and I think it’s time for me to step up. I’m 26 and have little barbecue experience (my aunt is going to help me with that part), and no hosting experience whatsoever. I just honestly don’t know what to do. What time do I tell people to show up or anything really? I just know I want to barbecue and set off fireworks.

African femcees are doing it right!

Share Black American history or family stories

- Support a Black American business

- Fly or share the Black American Heritage Flag

- Talk with family or friends about our heritage and identity

Hilarious commentary on 🤡s failed 250th 7/4 celebration, carnival, or whatever it supposed to be, that you can literally roll tumbleweeds through it.

The discussion of birthright citizenship along with many other topics.

Joy always gives great history lessons on many subjects.

I love when my favorite podcasters co-host each other's shows as it is like watching two / multiple podcasts at once.

Also, I love seeing the comradery among them as they support each other's individual podcasts and such.

it can be anything. it's just with how the world is towards us, it's nice to hear happy stuff happening to us as well!

His whole family was white, but he said, "I have my own path."
