I want the statement "Black Americans are conservative" to absolutely die in a fire. It's a lie from the pits of hell. Black America's record demonstrates that, as a whole, we are the MOST progressive racial/ethnic demographic in the United States and it's not even close.
VERY. Plagues stoke fears that are easily exploited by oppressive religions & con artists. The fact that COVID-19 damages the frontal lobe means ppl who survived multiple infections are quite literally unable to think clearly, which makes them easier to manipulate by bad-faith actors.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Abdul El-Sayed wins Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate in Michigan.
It’s funny because we do this thing where Black voters are pathologized, literally, every election cycle.

Aside from the knock to the ever-dwindling music journalism ecosystem, I just think about what this all means for smaller and mid-tier bands. If you're not already huge, who is going to cover your album? Who is going to post about your tour? Who is going to…

Younger Black folk are more radical than any voting block fr. The issue I keep seeing is people not looking at conservative Black folk as a core part of the older Black voting base and assuming they represent the Black political spectrum. Especially when WHITE conservatives vote for republicans
Are Black people perfect or uniform No. I’m related to them . I can’t get my own FAMILY to agree on shit AMD WE HAD CONTRACTS but as a voting block and HISTORICAL DEMOGRAPHIC do Black people act CIVICALLY towards a base common good Since LONGER THAN THE US HAS EXISTED YES WHY IS THAT ?!?
New York City’s business elites are long accustomed to direct access to City Hall, where even Democratic mayors felt the need to court the city’s wealthiest and most influential corporate leaders. That access is getting shredded by Mayor Zohran Mamdani.

The mayor fired corporate leaders from a city fund’s advisory board in the latest sign that he is changing the way such power brokers access City Hall.

That, and yes Dirty Mind -> Controversy -> 1999 is another one.
blakmagik1.bsky.social@blakmagik1.bsky.social · 24h agoI say "Prince", "Dirty Mind" and "Controversy" (Even though I like "1999" better).
There are people who are BIG MAD AT ME on that other app because I said the bridesmaids entrance at Coco Jones WEDDING reception to the song Girl by Destiny’s Child was a bad choice and literacy is necessary. Mind you, the song is abt an abusive relationship and cheating ass man. Literacy is KEY!

I thought about those excellent first 3 albums by The Time; but except for 1 song, those albums are all pretty much the duo of Prince and Morris Day.
Picking Prince’s greatest 3-album run is tricky because you’d have to choose between triplets that have either Purple Rain or SOTT.
