You thought you were something special by beating a horrific city team , just to get outplayed in every facet in a semi final v Newcastle 2 days later. Literally the definition of humbled.

Ooooooer. Handbags at 40 paces.

Arsenal fans still saying “stay humble eh” when Arteta has been here for almost 5 years now failing to win the PL and Arne Slot is winning it in his FIRST season. Dumbass fan base



Damn. Anita Baker's voice must've given birth to so many children

happy birthday to the great Ohioan Anita Baker. The entire One Night Of Rapture recording is on youtube. I once had a VHS of this, but no VHS player. It's about an hour, but it's gems all the way thru. Watch the whole thing, or pick a spot & let it play. youtube.com/watch?v=MaPMCy…

the legendary Michael Holding name-checked Lewis Latimer in his recent speech about BLM

Union vet Lewis Latimer patented carbon filament in 1881 that helped bring electric light to US. He joined Thomas Edison’s firm 1884, published book 1890. His parents were self-liberated slaves whose activism created “Latimer Law” to protect others in 1843. #AmericanFoundersBook

Every so often I'm reminded about the genocidal massacre of Afro-Argentines in the 1800s. At one point a third of the population of Buenos Aires was made up of Black Argentines, now they make up only 1% of the population. Their stories are important.

One of the most depressing things about 21st-century politics is that young people have almost no meaningful voice in determining their future.

A truly stunning age divide: 57% of 18-24-year-olds voted Labour, only 18% of over-65s did.

"To call someone a racist has become more abhorrent than actually being racist.” Journalist and author Nesrine Malik reflects on the racism in the UK following the BBC's handling of complaints against presenter Naga Munchetty.

The focus of concern is the white person who committed violence and their redemption. The Black person who forgives them is viewed through the white gaze lens as a model minority solely for their willingness to forgive. The Black person exists as a vehicle for white redemption.

We would be living in a very different world if many of the people who exult in black displays of forgiveness reciprocated that grace and mercy but that’s not reflected at all in our criminal justice policy, and it makes you question what they really find compelling about it.
