RIP. Let’s remember that techno was invented in Detroit by black kids, not in Berlin.
Juan Atkins, the Detroit producer and DJ who co-founded techno music, has died

Black American boys teased everyone in high school! The gays, the black girls, the Africans, the dark skinned. Only people who didn’t get smoke were the habesha girls they wanted to fuck. I won’t deny that some of this is coming from inside the house. BA men are very mean.

Hating African-Americans is not anti-Americanism it is pro-Americanism. The United States was founded on anti-Blackness and perpetuates it globally. Those who participate in it while claiming to be anti-America or anti-Imperialists are lying hypocrites.

Juan Atkins wasnt signed to a major and didn't make commercial music. There's no big capitalist machine invested in profiting from his posthumous career, so the accolades are going to come entirely from the literal millions who's lives were changed by his art- that's true legacy

Hinds County is over 70% Black and Jackson is over 80% Black.
For context, this is the same courthouse where Freedom Riders were tried, police rioted and attacked Medgar Evers and supporters of the Tougaloo 9, and the person who killed Medgar Evers was found guilty.

🚨Innocent Healthcare Worker Held at Gunpoint in Houston Case of Mistaken Identity
A medical professional was brutally targeted, misidentified, slammed onto concrete, and held at gunpoint by Houston Police officers only to be released without a single word of apology.
They were looking for a suspect related to a car theft. They admitted they misidentified her.
She has since been treated at the hospital and is actively seeking legal representation and community assistance.
The physical and emotional trauma inflicted by this unwarranted brutality has deeply impacted both her and her family. No one should ever have to fear for their safety while commuting to serve others.
We need justice, accountability, and answers.

Black descendants of slaves are literally the only people in the Americas who are not immigrants (apart from indigenous people)… being abduct and immigrating is not the same thing my ancestors didn’t intend to go from Africa to the Caribbeans either they were trafficked

Stop playing.
White people love Africans so much that’s why they started the transatlantic slave trade, have military coups to kill all the African revolutionary leaders, and then they create multi national companies to steal all the natural resources. 😍😍😍😍😍
