Decided to see the #Highest2Lowest on this beautiful Labor weekend. It's a good movie. What was interesting to me was the aesthetic of all the BW casted as love interests or wives was the exact same (yep, that). I was disappointed in that aspect given this was a Spike Lee film. 😔 But good movie

Washington, D.C. is once again caught in the middle of America's debate over race, policing, and power. What started as a presidential order to "restore order" has quickly turned into a daily reminder of how Black communities are often the first to feel the brunt of government overreach.

Why do we still allow people with serious mental illness to buy guns? Because the first law Republicans passed under Trump in 2017, made it easier. There were over 4,000 mass shootings between 2017-2024, and this country elected him again. If that’s not proof America is sick, I don’t know what is.

Because Sexism can happen to ANY woman. Why are you conflating Racism; when Black women who endure both ... with Sexism?? Your personal feelings don't equate to what history has noted. Oscarville, Rosewood, Tulsa wasn't attacked & destroyed due to Sexism it was Racism. Period.

Tara Walker (@taraew.bsky.social) reply parent
Yes, the main factor of her research (if you look it up) was she as an attorney looked at how Blk folks were treated and how much worse it got when other/additional identities were in play. Again race riots when did this happen 2 just women of all races? It was all Blk folks. Redlining..Blk folk

It's called intersectionality. A term coined by Kimberle' Crenshaw. That means that Racism was exacerbated when adding Sexism not that Sexism is worse. The fact that BLACK women were targeted, and not other races of women means their race was a primary factor. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interse...
