1/28 Celebrate #Blackhistorymonth by reading this tour de force of a paper: "Can you move to opportunity? Evidence from the Great Migration" --> https://scholar.harvard.edu/elloraderenoncourt/publications/can-you-move-opportunity-evidence-great-migration-job-market-paper by Ellora Derenoncourt of @Harvard @HarvardEcon. https://twitter.com/pqblair/status/1091448234751475713/photo/1

Incredible work by Ellora Derenoncourt shows areas African Americans moved to during Great Migration became less upwardly mobie, e.g. b/c white families left public schools. The sobering truth as @SandyDarity writes is that race, not place, is at root of the disparities we see https://twitter.com/pqblair/status/1091448234751475713

Respect. This meeting in Harlem in 1960, the Year of Africa, was a culmination of greatness and a fitting seal to the independence of 17 African countries in that year alone. Salute!!! https://twitter.com/fanamokoena/status/1100587523330445313/photo/1

"The average ancient civilization lasted 336 years" But averages often tell us little. Headline writers often dumb down, mislead or miss the story.

Good to see a chart though :) http://www.bbc.com/future/story/20190218-the-lifespans-of-ancient-civilisations-compared

“Britain paid white soldiers –even those serving in British colonial units & living in African colonies –3 times more than their black counterparts.

In 1944 at just 14 years old, George Stinney Jr. became the youngest person to be put to death by electrocution for crimes he didn’t commit. He was falsely accused of killing two young white girls. George was exonerated in 2014—70 years after his execution. #BlackHistoryMonth https://twitter.com/aasian/status/1097733772508680192/photo/1

I am shocked and saddened to hear about the death of Bisi Silva. She was a mentor to me. Her contributions to contemporary African art will be felt for decades to come.

I just finished #TheTwoKillingsOfSamCooke. An excellent documentary on who Sam Cooke was + could have been. Happily discovered @reneeygraham @NewBlackMan @jasonkingsays who delivered excellent commentary+contextualization on the man and his music. #achangeisgonnacome #mustwatch

Thoroughly enjoyed #TheTwoKillingsOfSamCooke. Especially enjoyed the brilliant commentary from my advisor, mentor, and friend @NewBlackMan.

This is an amazing piece about toxic masculinity and how it can dominate even the institutions we least expect - and the culture of fear and shame that follows, and about the brave women who stand up to it.

@Ajairah1 All my tweets today boil down to this: most of the dedicated, true-blue, capital-B Black people come from mothers who were on fire with passion for their people. So to destroy our people all they have to do is trick our mothers. Their plan worked quite well.

@Ajairah1 We black people have the most oppressed women and we have no power material or magical to “bypass” our women to systematically protect our children from the same oppression. As a result we have a bunch of “traitors” as close relatives, of all genders.

@Ajairah1 I challenge any black-on-black critic to look at any Indo-European organization and fail to see the patriarchal, imperial origins and Roman-tic cultural inspirations behind it. This warlike, womanless way is immediately nothing to admire by Black people.

@Ajairah1 Most black-on-black critics never see the true patriarchal “privilege” of having the power to override the motherly, overprotective, patriarchy -induced fears of the women they oppress and send their children to ‘military’ school where they are taught to obey this “code”

@Ajairah1 When I was a Black child it was impossible for me to think about being black from a parental and non-patriarchal POV. It therefore was too easy for me to compare white-male, militant excellence against the failures of black defenseless children.

Half of y’all got issues and won’t acknowledge or deal with it. Deal with your crazy! Adults with unresolved childhood trauma spreads like mold. It ruins everything it touches. Deviance breeds in silence... so, talk about it, seek help, and resolve it! https://twitter.com/PRBizMom/status/1094679351495249921/photo/1

@PRBizMom @BlackInformant @ACEAwareNation @ACEsConnection @DrBurkeHarris @KPSCALnews Maybe it's my Californian thing but I am convinced that too many subconsciously define “love” as an adult's ability to willingly participate in the childhood-completion of another adult, even at the expense of actual children—refusing to participate means one is “selfish.”😢😅
