the @MacroVoices #176 interview with Jim Rickards finally explained to me why interest rates in the 70s/80s were so high: as a counter to inflation

Former Ebony publishing company is auctioning off its historic photo archive, containing more than 4 million photos, to pay its creditors | CNN http://www.kolumnmagazine.com/2019/07/18/former-ebony-publishing-company-is-auctioning-off-its-historic-photo-archive-containing-more-than-4-million-photos-to-pay-its-creditors-cnn/ https://twitter.com/KOLUMN_Magazine/status/1151806777190731776/photo/1

I had a manager who used to text me on days she was off and ask me how the day went. Then when I told her, "I'm off the clock" had the nerve to hit me with, "that was unprofessional." So is you TEXTING me on my personal line at 9PM. Move ✋🏾

@wildfonts This is classic Mark-Twain-and-Nigger-Jim-shit. My 20+ year career is full of boundary-disrespecting Euro-American managers trying to be my friend instead of getting shit done. Young marginalized black folk tend to think because they want you close they are not being racist😇

ADOS founder Yvette Carnell claims much of African & Caribbean culture is just "clothes, seasoned rice, and stew meat".

I have no words for the astounding level of ignorance in this rhetoric. #MuteADOS https://twitter.com/ImaniKushan/status/1153775816909758466/photo/1

Yvette walks us through the history of state formation, reminding us that America is a “young country” compared to... African and Caribbean countries? 😂🤷🏾‍♂️ https://twitter.com/ddhewty/status/1154373265676275712/photo/1

@ddhewty Yeah, as usual, my time was wasted spending literally years trying to get Yvette to engage with the ideas needed seconds after “we” get a government check for being enslaved for several centuries and the robbed and murdered afterwards.

@ddhewty What @BreakingBrown will not consider is that modern monetary theory (MMC via @AOC) will be repackaged as “black reparations” while it is really more central bank “easing” swallowing (again) Black special interest giving “everybody justice” for crimes committed most against us😇

@KinteSpace appreciate the engagement, but please don’t tag them folks!

@ddhewty preferences noted👍

Did y’all just hear 93.3? High school senior asked the radio should he stay home & help his mom raise his siblings or go off to TSU. His mom told him he is selfish if he goes off to school and leave her alone with the kids. YOUR SON IS NOT YOUR FUCKING HUSBAND. Tired of that.

People need to learn that marriage isn’t about love. Commitment is about love. Marriage is a business contract. Your spouse’s debts become yours, even after you’re divorced you can be held liable. No matter how much money you have, check each other’s credit & get a prenup.

okay @RowenaMonde here is a cute couple that talk over each other but they don't interrupt each other---it puts a smile on my face 😃

@KinteSpace Thanks for this!

@RowenaMonde btw: i can listen to this sister 💪🏾 all day:

@RowenaMonde btw (again): my fascination with this Jamaican architect betrays just how empty my life has been and probably will be for a minute or two 💪🏾😒 but this brother from Inglewood shows that it does not always have to be that way: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=srXYLdW15sM

@KinteSpace Thanks for those videos, I'll have a look later :)

@RozNYC My cousin paid off all her husbands debts because she had better credit than he did.

6 months after the paperwork was signed he left her for his secretary and is now living debt free and has a new baby. Meanwhile my cousin (a stay at home mom) is dodging debt collectors

It is truly tiresome to see many of this these so called organizations always trying to keep us in reactionary mode, Old and new majority are for temporary euphoria not critical thinking generational solutions, so called leaders usually for Self Aggrandizement. Black messiah-ship

@trueblackpower generational-scale Black solutions in full effect means profound self-sacrifice for the first generation which means we are working with truly, truly exceptional people by the thousands engaging in homeschooling and farming—and chitlin circuit media making—on a significant scale

Which is worse — an absent father or a present toxic mother!

@DrStaceyPatton The child is the physical manifestation of the parents always being together no matter how much we parents want to be apart—so to make this comparison is to (abstractly) tear the child apart. That being said, the absence/replacement of the father is often arranged by mom😇

@KinteSpace @DrStaceyPatton I’d rather have the presence even if the toxicity is there, not including abuse.

@SludgeMAG @DrStaceyPatton so, the last time my father visited me as child was when my mom called the police on him, accusing him of being on the scene and violent: my father was lucky —the police got to the house before he did —so, yeah: my father made a “choice”

@KinteSpace @DrStaceyPatton We need to talk about this...

@KinteSpace @DrStaceyPatton Incredible answer.

@KinteSpace @DrStaceyPatton ...and most times, the absence of a parent is on the absentee. It’s a choice that is made. Not a ruling on the mother.

Why do people who are not members of a community have a right to say what is or is not harmful to that community? Personally, I take my cues from the community. For example, I’m not Jewish so I don’t get to say what is or isn’t antisemitism. How is this hard?

@Irette @The7thMatrix The colonial psychology of the dominator culture is traditionally packed full of enmeshment and irrational justification for being present in the land their ancestors invaded. Threatening this tradition is to undermine the core identity of the “white” person😇 of all skin colors.

I used to really take it personal when people would lie to me, like damn I’m not worth being honest to? But no.. they’re just lying to themselves, I just happen to be another mirror they’re avoiding.

An intellectual mentor told me that the surest sign of anti-blackness was the assumption that black people are uninformed, unintelligent, and poorly read. As you watch social media take careful note of how scholars, celebrities, and writers respond to criticism from black people.

I need to stop replying to tweets that got nothing to do with me.

@ajh_books Exactly. Ohh... wait...😇
