I am overjoyed to share that Stamped from the Beginning on Netflix has been nominated for an Emmy for Exceptional Merit in Documentary Filmmaking! 🎬🏆 I am overjoyed for our entire filmmaking team. Tossing all the gratitude to Roger Ross Williams, Mara Brock Akil, Alisa Payne,…
How much money have Trump Republicans “race hustled” out of you for their campaigns? How much money have they hustled out of you by manipulating you into believing that the COVID-19 was the “China virus,” or the 2020 election was stolen by Black voters, or Black prosecutors were…
The race-hustling game is going out of business. There is no more money left in it for you bro.
Trump primarily mobilizes White people and men. Wins handily. After the election, Democratic pundits say mobilizing “identity groups” don’t work and “failed miserably,” erasing Trump’s mobilization of White and male identity groups. Instead, they claim Trump prevailed with a…
Today, I started reading @ibramxk's book #StampedFromTheBeginning, which talks about the history of American racism. While it was published in 2016 (on the eve of the (first) Trump term), its subject matter is very much relevant in 2024.
To understand how Trump was elected is to understand the influence of racist ideas. Our Netflix film, Stamped from the Beginning, based on my book of the same name, chronicles the history of anti-Black racist ideas. It was bittersweet to learn the other day that Stamped from the…
We honor the legendary Quincy Jones, a true visionary whose musical genius indelibly etched American discography. He produced such top hits as Thriller and scored The Color Purple. His legacy will live on in every beat, every song, and every heart he's touched. 🎷💔
As a man, I’m just not scared like Trump. I’m not scared of telling the truth. I’m not scared of humility. I’m not scared of people who don’t look like me. I’m not scared of immigrants, of powerful women, of working people, of trans people, of Muslims. I’m not scared of love. I’m…
A long-standing sexual predator of White women has presented himself to White women in this presidential campaign as their protector. This talking point sits at intersection of sexist and racist ideas, or gender racist ideas. The sexist idea: Men are inherently women’s…
Even when Black people manage to be twice as good, we can end up being criticized twice as much. Why? Racist ideas render Black people sub-human or super-human, causing people to have lower or higher standards for Black people. Just as a Black woman presidential candidate is…
There are 2 million people currently incarcerated in the United States, more than any other country. Trump wants to incarcerate an *additional* 11-13 million people and detain them indefinitely until deportation. The magnitude of this is monstrous.
Anti-life.
Texas doctors said it was “inevitable” that Josseli Barnica would miscarry. Yet they waited 40 hours for the fetal heartbeat to stop, saying it would be a “crime to give her an abortion” She died of an infection three days later. propublica.org/article/jossel…
One of the most violent racist ideas is the notion that Latinos are hyper-sexual. Which feeds the racist notion that Latino immigrants are “rapists,” to use Trump’s term, justifying racist vigilante and police violence. The same idea feeds the racist notion that Latina immigrants…
Trump rally speaker: “And these Latinos, they love making babies too. Just know that. They do. They do. There’s no pulling out. They don’t do that. They come inside. Just like they did to our country.”
Racist ideas are often served with humor. The humor allows both the producer and consumer to deny the ideas are racist.
