Between the World and Me

This is a great film that I watched tonight. It’s on HBO and is amazing work by Ta-Nehisi Coates.

AOC & ta-nehisi coates

ta-nehisi coates in conversation with AOC on MLK day sponsored by blackout for human rights.

“MLK Day is not a day to center the convenient King. It is a day to engage with and reflect on the dangerous King - the one who directly challenged white supremacy, spoke out against militarism, and denounced the gross concentrations of wealth alongside unconscionable levels of poverty. Let it be known that Martin Luther King Jr. advocated for universal healthcare, housing rights, the end of war. MLK championed unionization of the most vulnerable workers, cautioned against the excesses of runaway capitalism, and advanced an argument for basic income while denouncing the racial wealth gap. In MLK’s time, he was unpopular and disliked. He was denounced as radical, divisive, and unrealistic. Ever wonder why that’s not the King we learned about in school? . Far too many politicians take the opportunity to celebrate MLK Day while resisting his agenda and undoing his legacy. Not us, not now. . Grateful to have engaged this day meaningfully with Queens and Bronx faith leaders, @unitedblackout, @tanehisipcoates, & many many others. . Here’s to the Dangerous King.” 📸: @kidnoble

they discussed:

-trump tweeting about destroying iranian cultural sites & forever wars

-the challenges of having so many “moderate” dems in the party and considerations of swing districts

-the lack of left party in the U.S. and how the democrats are center-right: “there are a lot of true believers that believe we can capitalism our way out of poverty. that’s an area where i agree with dr. king; that that assessment is flawed.”

-the inherent flaws of a two-party system

- the effects of hurricane maria on puerto ricans: “the fact that society does not care for you have a profound effect on the psyche”

-the u.s. colonial empire over puerto rico

-critiques of capitalism and gov’t appropriating public funds to corporations

-”no one makes a million dollars. you take a billion dollars.”

-how to be an ethical billionaire: “i don’t want your money, i want your power. not me - we.”

-the toll that the stress of her work takes on her and the sisterhood she’s formed with the “squad” that means more than any political differences.

-her future desires to be of service or maybe just go live in the woods...

It occurred how I've been on something of a nonfiction binge of late. While these writers bear some resemblance, to myself as well, each offers a unique take on the narrative I'm evidently in need of receiving.  STAMPED - RACISM, ANTIRACISM, AND YOU #jasonreynolds #ibramxkendi HOW WE FIGHT FOR OUR Lives #saeedjones HEAVY #kieselaymon BETWEEN THE WORLD AND ME #tanehisicoates INVISIBLE MAN, GOT THE WHOLE WORLD Watching #mychaldenzelsmith GO AHEAD IN THE RAIN: NOTES TO A TRIBE CALLED QUEST #hanifabdurraqib ___________________________________________ #booktube #booktastic #booklove #bookstagram #avidreader #bibliophile #goodreads #booknerdigans #readsoullit #blackwriters #igwriters #writersofig #writersofinstagram 📚 https://www.instagram.com/p/B9wyrYNAmfs/?igshid=x9nzlltwklqi
