My colleague @nytdavidbrooks notes that Canada has cut poverty by one-fifth over three years: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/04/04/opinion/canada-poverty-record.html I believe we could, too, if we had the will. We know that expanded EITC, child allowances, early education, drug treatment, etc would help.

This idea pushed by Black feminists on twitter arguing that Black men never supported suffrage or BW rights is a lie. This is actually white feminist propaganda started by white suffragists to discourage legislators from voting for BM enfranchisement during the late 1800s.

Excited to share research with you that I have been working on since grad school 😳

Question: what happened to the sons of slaveholders who lost wealth (sometimes tremendous fortunes) after the Civil War? Did sons rebound & join elite, or did wealth loss transmit to next gen?

No surprise here: sociologists Desmond and Wilmers find that "the poor, and especially the minority poor, experience the highest rates of housing exploitation," while their landlords turn the most profit.

"Modern narratives of capitalist development often assume that vast wealth accumulated by a few accompanies improved circumstances for many. The history of slavery’s capitalism warns against all these expectations." http://bostonreview.net/race/caitlin-c-rosenthal-how-slavery-inspired-modern-business-management

In the late 1860s, white women argued that BM were sexist, rapists, and against women's rights in an effort to convince the American public that the BM vote would cause BM to rape white women and destroy white womanhood. This lie is very common in the work of hooks & Guy-Sheftall

@superchrismarsh @DrTJC This shit is why so many brothers cannot deal with matriarchal heritage of classical Africa and end up taking two-decade round trips back to patriarchal whiteness😤 Back in the day, every man was alive because a woman put him there.

Having an African passport means arriving from one place and rushing to the embassy of the next place praying your visa will be processed in time for your next trip.

Spontaneous travel is a western privilege. I always remind my American friends that their passport has power.

@Ajairah1 Ah, a very, very useful reply to a young person of African descent openly complaining about what many of his generation keep secret: profound resentment for a few, lonely elders attacking the only thing in his life he can see, touch, hear, smell and admire: European modernism.😇
