He darn sure wasn’t white

These glacier 🫏 ‘s swear they be doing something heroic when they call Black people the N-word

This right here is a perfect illustration of how white privilege operates in American media, even in sports. A’ja Wilson wins her FIFTH WNBA MVP award, further cementing herself as one of the greatest players in the history of women’s basketball. That’s a historic achievement worthy of celebration. But look at how Fox News frames the story. Rather than center the Black woman who actually WON, they center the white woman who received ONE first place MVP vote out of 74. Let that sink in. A Black woman makes history, and somehow a white woman’s disappointment becomes the headline. And the hypocrisy of Fox News is particularly glaring. This is the same network that routinely rails against DEI, attacks affirmative action, and lectures America about meritocracy. We’re constantly told that achievement should be based on merit, not race. Well, here stands A’ja Wilson, whose excellence, accomplishments, and dominance have earned her a place among the greatest athletes of all time. Yet somehow, we’re supposed to be more concerned about why Caitlin Clark wasn’t recognized. Apparently, merit matters until a Black woman outshines the white woman they’ve decided should be the face of the league. This exposes a media culture that can barely acknowledge Black excellence without finding a way to center whiteness. Black women have been dealing with this nonsense for generations. They have to be twice as good, accomplish twice as much, and prove themselves repeatedly, while white women are celebrated for their promise, potential, popularity, and proximity to greatness. A’ja Wilson didn’t win an award for potential. She won because of PERFORMANCE. She didn’t need a media campaign to manufacture her greatness. She earned it on the basketball court. One woman won her fifth MVP. The other received ONE first place vote and was left off 19 ballots. And Fox News decided the second story deserved the headline. That’s not sports journalism. That’s a reflection of whose excellence America celebrates and whose accomplishments it struggles to center.** Black excellence shouldn’t have to compete with white mediocrity for recognition.** Give A’ja Wilson her flowers without making Caitlin Clark the centerpiece of the bouquet. 👏🏾🏆

The Spoken Word with Bishop Talbert Swan xitter.cf/i/broadcasts/1YGNrbyLj…

Wypipo can see UFO’s, Elvis, Big Foot, and the Loch Ness monster, but not RACISM. 🤦🏽‍♂️

Don’t preach about men in women’s sports while making excuses for men in children’s bedrooms. Don’t preach about homosexuality and abortion while defending an adjudicated rapist and unrepentant racist. You lose all credibility when you turn a blind eye to sexual abuse, dishonesty, cruelty, and corruption because the person committing it carries your preferred political banner. You cannot turn morality into a weapon against the people you condemn and then turn grace into a shield for the politician you support. If your convictions disappear when they become politically inconvenient, they were never convictions in the first place, they were just talking points.

Tell me again, how white privilege doesn’t exist.

When Donald Trump took office, regular gas averaged about $3.11 a gallon. Today it’s over $4.20. Since then, grocery prices, electricity, natural gas, hospital services, rent, and other everyday costs have all risen. Electricity is up roughly 10.6%, natural gas 9.3%, hospital services 8.9%, groceries 3.4%, and overall consumer prices about 5.1% from January 2025 through the latest available CPI data. Trump also promised Americans a $2,000 tariff dividend. That payment never materialized. Now, ahead of the midterms, he is promising every American adult $5,000 if Republicans keep control of the House and Senate—a proposal Reuters reports would cost more than $1 trillion. The record is there for everyone to see: higher household costs, an unfulfilled $2,000 promise, and now a new $5,000 promise tied to the outcome of an election. Voters can decide for themselves what that record says about credibility.

Dear Mike Davis: First off, to hell with you and the clique you claim… Black people aren’t “minorities” and whiteness isn’t the human default. On a global scale, white people are vastly outnumbered by the non-white world. “Minority” is a political label, not a statement about who makes up humanity. And since you’re handing out one-way tickets to Black Americans because you don’t like what we have to say, allow me to make a counteroffer. We’re staying. Black people have been on this soil for centuries. Our ancestors cleared it, cultivated it, built its cities, constructed its institutions, fought in its wars, enriched its culture and helped turn America into America while being denied the very freedom and citizenship you now arrogantly suggest we surrender. So here’s the Mike Davis European Repatriation Package: One complimentary one-way ticket across the Atlantic Six months to locate whichever branch of Europe your ancestors departed from A complimentary genealogy kit so you can determine whether Poland, Ireland, Germany, Italy, England or somewhere else should prepare for your arrival Assistance completing the paperwork to renounce the American citizenship you think is so disposable Directions to the nearest ancestral European cave And since you’re so preoccupied with a Black woman’s hair, we’ll throw in a complimentary lice repellent comb so you can untangle your hair and your twisted argument. Consider everything in this counteroffer already prepaid by the centuries of uncompensated forced labor extracted from our Black ancestors, the very debt at the heart of the reparations claim America still has not settled. Telling Black Americans to surrender their citizenship, leave the country and “never come back,” followed by a crack about a Black woman’s “nappy” hair is the exact kind of racist and sexist vitriol that comes from a pathetic and disgusting maga piece of human refuse. Raven Schwam-Curtis offered a cogent argument on reparations. You answered with misogynoir, exile fantasies, and puerile insults about Black hair. Your offer is declined, Mike. We’re staying. You’ll simply have to learn how to live in a country where Black people neither require your permission to be American nor your approval to speak.

The Spoken Word with Bishop Talbert Swan xitter.cf/i/broadcasts/1RJZzBRDD…

Where have you been living? Black people recognize this country just fine. Police brutality, racial profiling, state violence and abuse of power didn’t start with ICE. This isn’t a new America, it’s the same old America showing up at somebody else’s door.

He’s down the street from you living in the White House.

Who are you calling a “ghetto Black b*tch,” @LauraLoomer? medium.com/@TalbertSwan/who-…

On behalf of the Black delegation, let me say for the record that @LauraLoomer is a racist, misogynistic, anti-Black, hateful, foul-mouthed, attention-starved, gutter-dwelling, venom-spewing, bigoted, vulgar, shameless, grievance-addicted, malicious, unhinged, contemptible, sewer-mouthed, skank, who confuses cruelty with courage, vulgarity with strength, and racist provocation with political relevance.

You cannot ask Black people to stand against antisemitism while becoming strangely mute when anti-Black racism is standing directly in front of you screaming through a bullhorn. Solidarity that only travels in one direction is not solidarity. It’s extraction. I know what would happen if the races were reversed. Everybody knows. Imagine a prominent Black activist with access to a Democratic president calling five accomplished Jewish women, including members of Congress and a United States Supreme Court justice, “ghetto Jewish bitches.” Just sit with that sentence. Cable news would explode. Organizations would issue statements before lunch. Politicians would race to social media to condemn antisemitism. Religious leaders would demand accountability. There would be discussions about the historic trauma embedded in the word “ghetto.” Click link (medium.com/@TalbertSwan/who-…) to read
