Medical racism kills.... also, he already knew he had Sickle Cell, you get told at an early age, so he didn't self-diagnose. The hospital staff ignored him. Because of MEDICAL RACISM 👇🏾

If it can be proved that it's not genocide that would be a huge relief. It would mean that it's only a huge massacre, mass killing and widespread slaughter In which case it would be OK.
So excited for this! I’m getting this for my inner emo teen🖤

Although I believe there is no excuse for the inhumane treatment Wayne suffered in his last moments. This is why I educate about sickle cell and its complications with the Kòkú series, ignorance about the condition literally kills my people on a daily basis.

Beyoncé and Black Radical Tradition doesn’t belong in the same sentence unless you’re exposing how she’s used optics of radicalism to sell albums while staying silent on genocide. Black radical traditions doesn’t center capitalism. They’re famously socialist and communist.
Yale University to offer new course on Beyoncé’s cultural impact in spring 2025! “Next semester, Daphne Brooks, professor of African American Studies and music, will teach a new class titled “Beyoncé Makes History: Black Radical Tradition History, Culture, Theory & Politics…
5-9 year olds are the most killed age group in Israel’s genocide in Gaza. Israel’s plan to stop people from returning to the north is ethnic cleansing. Meanwhile, media & politicians defend fascist football thugs chanting “death to Arabs”. Where’s the outrage against genocide?
“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” - Malcolm X ‼️This has always been relevant, the media are just showing their racist asses more blatantly now
What a bizarre 24 hours. A sobering reminder that we are represented by a gutter political class and have a gutter media.
Don’t normally upload my TikTok on here but feel like this is an important one
There is a reason why social media remains a powerful tool. While traditional media engages in selective and distorting truth, the evidence is laid out on outlets such as X & instagram unfiltered for the world to see. When will these news outlets wake up from their complicity?
Not a war, a genocide.
