I been somewhat following the "Argentinians being Extremely Racist during the World Cup" saga, and like... BONKERS lmao. How do you manage to purge an African population of 30% without some true hate 😭

It does explain that mindset that I have always found odd about Latin American racism, which is that (valid!) resentment of the US for being part of the Global North and Imperial Core, while simultaneously sharing so many of its racist, white supremacist beliefs. It's like... So you don't hate the racism portion? That's not the problem to you? 😅

And obviously, again, not all Argentinians. But systemically... That is a Problem.

[creatingblackcharacters]

Like that's 93.3% of your Black population eradicated over 300 years. Why?????? It's not like they asked to be there 😭😭😭

‘why do u know what this means’ as if every black person on any social media i use who gets any kind of attention doesnt have to pre filter their comment section to avoid having a flood gate of all kinds of racist slogans thrown at them like ya we have to be a little more vigilante about these things bc we r the targets of it actually and it sucks

[anglaised]

like i follow 99% black ppl on tiktok and most of them have made videos saying they have to filter comments that say “have a Totally Nice Day” and variations of that shit bc if they don’t they just get bombarded with thousands of comments like it, u literally cannot be black online and avoid this stuff

Hey Ice!

In case you have any followers in Cincinnati, OH, I wanted to share that the Cincinnati Opera is premiering a new opera this weekend called Lalovavi that was written by a Black composer (Kevin Day) and librettist (Tifara Brown) and features a predominantly (maybe entirely?) Black cast.

Cool things about this opera:

It's the first in a series of three operas being commissioned and premiered through the Black Opera Project

It's an Afrofuturist opera set in Atlanta 400 years in the future

Parts of the opera are sung in Tut, which is a language that was created by enslaved Black Americans as a mechanism for learning how to read and write when it was illegal for them to do so.

In preparation for the performance, the opera company made sure to hire Black lightwalkers (people who test lighting on stage) to get the lighting right for the actual actors

Anyway I'm stoked about this and want people to know it exists!! Opera tends to be like 50+ years behind every other art form in terms of confronting racism so I'm really excited that this is happening.

Thanks for everything you do - your blog is amazing. <3

OOOOOHHH!!!! Oh I love everything I just heard about this! Thank you for sharing!

What would you do if you were a queer Black teen girl in the 2010s midwest that suddenly became a witch after reading from an ancient tome?

Now you've got to fight monsters , face off against an evil that's after you ... and also two vampires have feelings for you ( and they dig each other a bit too) . Check out this Black Queer YA Coming of age Magical Girl Witch in the midwest story! The Three Tomes. Live on Kickstarter Card Captor Sakura and Sailor Moon x Twilight and The Vampire Diaries ( minus the racism).

Too often in media, Black women and femmes are seen as disposable. They're stepping stones on the path to the " true relationship". They're the side best friend, they're killed off for the narrative.. Too often in media Black people period are questioned for why they're in fantasy, or supernatural stories. " Why is a mermaid Black?" " Why is that dwarf Black?" " Why is that knight Black?" There's rampant biphobia and questioning of people's queer idenity as nonbinary or fear of being open about your Black queerness period... Too often in media our stories as Black people are only accepted if it centers our pain. Very rarely are we given opportunity in mainstream media to have our whimsical and fun coming of age stories without black trauma at it's core. Our history is part of us, but we can have our " Juno's " , our " Twilights" , our " Hunger Games" ...etc.. too. We are able to be and should be present in all genres and tell all kinds of stories. The Three Tomes aims to dismantle all of this. It's a Queer YA coming of age story about Tammy Harris, age 17. She lives in the Chicago Suburbs and is having her own adventure and dealing with grief and change through the magical lens of witches and vampires. The story centers on her, and a host of queer black and brown characters taking the lead. A Lesbian Witch, A gay Vampire priest, a gay Vampire villian, two bi, and pan vampire boys ( tammy's love interests) and Tammy's best friend who is nonbinary and black/indian mixed. Character Bios here Black people can be whimsical, magical and we deserve to be in fantasy stories.

Support The Three Tomes on Kickstarter as we push towards our stretch goals for full animation of scenes and episode 3. To check out episode one and learn more about the world of The Three Tomes. Check out THE MASTER POST here.

"Thirty men, 7.5 percent of the infected study participants, managed to obtain an effective degree of treatment, prompting [Raymond] Vonderlehr to worry that the treatment might interfere with the study data. "I hope that the availability of [penicillin] antibiotics has not interfered too much with this project," he wrote to scientist Stanley H. Schuman early in 1952...

As men began to die, the PHS performed autopsies and regularly published the results in medical journals. They even shared study results at a 1936 American Medical Association meeting, which means many white physicians were informed of the study's details- but not African American physicians, were were largely barred from AMA membership.

The 1936 AMA report revealed that 84 percent of the infected subjects showed signs of illness. A decade later, the death rate of the infected men was twice that of the control subjects, prompting [O.C.] Wenger to boast smugly in 1950, "We now know, where we could only surmise before, that we have contributed to their ailments and shortened their lives."

By 1955, nearly one-third of the autopsied men had died directly of syphilis, and many of the survivors were suffering its deadliest complications. Forty wives were infected and at least nineteen children were born with syphilitic birth defects.

In 1958, the PHS awarded a certificate of appreciation, signed by the surgeon general and replete with a gold seal, to each infected man, along with twenty-five dollars- a dollar for each year of the study."
