Send us Fan Mail Intro: Quote of the Week: Bell Hooks “...“white supremacy” is a much more useful term for understanding the complicity of people of color in upholding and maintaining racial hierarchies that do not involve force (i.e slavery, apartheid) than the term “internalized racism”- a term most often used to suggest that black people have absorbed negative feelings and attitudes about blackness. The term “white supremacy” enables us to recognize not only that black people are socialized to embody the values and attitudes of white supremacy, but we can exercise “white supremacist control” over other black people.” Unmasking the News: Texas Tries to Jim Crow the Map (Again): When the Monster Eats Its Own: Beating Children “in Jesus’ Name”: Good News: Black Brilliance in the Engine Room of Tech: Bible Study with an Atheist: Five Core “Truth” Claims of Christianity — and Why They Collapse: Reflections and Call to Action: Closing/Outro: Sources: https://www.newsweek.com/samuel-alito-texas-election-map-supreme-court-challenge-11100706https://www.thedailybeast.com/mtgs-boyfriend-brian-glenn-sides-with-trump-in-furious-maga-divorce/?https://www.bet.com/article/3539sw/pastor-at-atlanta-megachurch-arrested-after-son-arrived-to-school-with-blood-on-his-pantshttps://bethesdamagazine.com/2025/11/21/inaugural-black-in-business-awards-program-celebrates-entrepreneurs/Power Concedes Nothing without a Demand...
