It's a contributing factor to the "invisible regular black people" phenomenon where people only see black people as one of two extremes "black excellence" or "wretched, pitied, and impoverished". Regular black people don't exist in public consciousness. twitter.com/DonGhotti/stat…

Part of growing up is the shock of realizing your parents aren't infallible you may have to filter through some of things they taught you growing up.

Earlier this year, anti-LGBTQ parents pressured our high school into cancelling our spring play.
Now we’re fighting back to put it on ourselves, but need your help.

not to sound bitter because my paper is rejected but this exactly is how African research is censored and excluded for not centering white folk

‘At the prison where I am incarcerated, many jobs pay only 42 cents an hour. A local 20-minute phone call costs $1.43, meaning a prisoner must work 3.5 hours to cover the cost of that call. A 3-ounce bag of freeze-dried coffee is $3.34, or 8 hours of work’

Judging people to be mediocre/exceptional based on their occupation is simple-minded and intellectually lazy.
A professionally mediocre person can still lead an exceptional life.

the “high value man” you’re trying to signal to isn’t paying any attention to you calling working class men mediocre. but your brothers, cousins, uncles who are working a 9-5 & keeping themselves afloat now have to wonder how you really feel about them

"Jordan Neely was arrested 40 times"
Being homeless is illegal in the US. Loitering, pan handling, trespassing, open containers in public, public urination, + dozens of other crimes are used as an excuse to arrest ppl who don't have a place to live and public facilities to use.

Like 97% of my fam, including my parents, are regular ppl w/out “prestigious” jobs or crazy money. I assume that MOST black fams & extended fams looks like mine. Black ppl having disdain for “mediocrity” rubs most of us the wrong way bc at a minimum, its a jab @ what we come from

our choice to mainly cite African scholars was intentional (not because we aren't aware of Western folks writing on decolonialism) but that unfortunately got us rejected

Is there a term for when the reported numbers don’t match what you’re seeing in the real world? Feels like it’s been that way in both directions over the last few years.

No. And I own that. I am a very grown ass woman with multiple children. If I were to ever find myself dating again what tf am *I* gonna do with a man making $10-15K? He should very kindly find a better/2nd job and look for a nice woman closer to his tax bracket. That is not me. twitter.com/lawsforwords/s

Calling a person who works as bus driver or something like that mediocre is wild af. Everybody can’t be lawyers, doctors, entrepreneurs, or engineers. People saying she speaking the truth….no she isn’t. Your day couldn’t move without a lot of the people y’all look down on. twitter.com/sheafromthebay…

Caught a student potentially using AI to write their paper. TurnitIn has an algorithm that detects AI voice.
Funny thing that it detected it just in the first paragraph…that paragraph was a brief history of the cloud model of the atom.
Everything else was perspective.
