NIGGA SURVIVAL

This is what white supremacy looks like. A smiling Negro thanking a good white man 4 giving him 2 life sentences 4 low level drug possession b/c U know, the judge "did what he had 2 do" & deep down inside, Mr. Charlie really loved him.

 Nevermind the judge was appointed by Obama, the so-called 1st BLACK president, the harsh sentence was caused by DEMOCRAT Biden's crime bill & YET, somehow the harsh sentence was commuted by the so-called racist white president black people hv been instructed 2 hate, Donald Trump.
Read dat back. We so fucked up as a people, we don't even know who is friend & who is foe. This is the essence of just how perilous our situation is on American soil. How the hell do U unite with any black person when most Negroes dont even know who the fuck their enemy truly is?
Attempting solidarity with black people who don't know who their enemy is will guarantee all black people's annihilation. So I stay to myself, surrounded on all sides by forces that can devour me at any moment. Whether it be by a virulent in your face racist, a liberal racist or-
by a soft genteel respectability politics Clyburnian Negro who has no clue that their words & actions are operating up under the influence of or deference 2 white supremacy. Every black person on American soil is operating under the influence of what I call "Racial Gravity."-
Just as the laws of physics governs gravity, which forces everything 2 the ground, "racial gravity" forces everything in this country 2 the feet of white people. Therefore, I can always predict the outcome of any situation b/t the races by applying the laws of racial gravity.-
This means in any random situation, I know w/certainty the outcome will benefit white people. I can frequently & quickly predict the behavior of any black person at any moment because I am keen 2 detect the precise moment at which the laws of racial gravity starts acting on them.
I can predict the words of anyNegro in the public square. W/few exceptions, their words will always be bent 2 tickle the fancy of white ears. A sordid racial pandering to whiteness inevitably ensues in moments of great import for black people & those Negros permitted microphones-
in white spaces will always frame their words to ensure white comfort & keep the rest of "Us" darkies in line. The entire purpose of rewarding windowdressing Negroes is to encourage all niggas to seek white reward. "See, if you would just be like Oprah or Steve Harvey, then--
maybe you too can get ahead." To watch "racial gravity" play out in real time is a fascinating endeavor. We have all seen melanin mannequins contort their remarks & behavior to fit into the square holes white people make for them. This acrobatic genuflection is not without cost.
At some point, the windowdressing negro catches a glimpse of their reflection in passing of the mirror of truth. Encountering a true reflection for the first time can be a painful endeavor, especially when one no longer recognizes the person standing before the mirror.
Like all mannequins, windowdressing Negroes can be removed at random. Next nigga up. Next nigga up. Auction voice. Meanwhile the cycle continues. The only thing left for a nigga to do when racial gravity bends their limbs & lips to the deference white supremacy demands,-
is either pray 2 White Jesus as the noose tightens, let the police slaughter your family, demand justice, attempt revenge & when the possibility of true justice arrives, 4give white people, say an apology is enough & profess your undying love for the white architects of the hell-
we occupy. These are the crucial ingredients for racial solidarity found in the cinematic universe of the Spike Lee & Nate Parker. It is also the modus operandi by which respectability politics got its foothold in black imagination. I have no confidence that black people will-
ever collectively reject such a ruse. Perhaps Jay-Z said it best,

"Now you (fallin'), when you should've fell back
Now you (fallin'), right into they lap
Fallin', they applauding, they screaming at the screen
Damn, you fucked up like your favorite movie scene"
I ain't got no solution to any of this shit. I'm just a scribe. Pain to deep. Trauma to real. There are a lot of niggas out here peddling the idea that they are the solution to our problems. Bullshit. Any1 telling U they got a solution to 400+ years of oppression is lying to U.
White people have managed 2 do something on Earth that's never been done before: the complete and utter destruction of an entire people. So odds are I will either be done in by white folk or by niggas working for white folk. Just ask the ghosts of Fred Hampton, Malcolm X & a ton-
of other niggas that actually thought they could change the world only to have niggas at they side set the stage for their annihilation. Dis why I aint got no damn friends. Only family. Trust no one. As Biggie Smalls said,

"yo own mama will set that ass up,
properly gassed up."
I have found myself pushing away old friends, family & frat b/c on some level each of them are doing somethin that can bring everything Ive worked hard 4 crashing down. Call me brand new all U want my nigga. Ive seen 2 many niggas out here doing suicidal shit & dont even know it.
Drunk driving, weed/gun possession, insurance fraud, hanging out in fucked up places & doing other stuff dey think is small shit, but will get dey ass fired, catch a felony, or worse-dead. White folks out here giving bullets & felonies 2 niggas 4 the smallest of shit & any nigga-
who don't get that is suicidal. Like slavery, the goal in America has always been 2 use black life as fuel for white life, like the machines used the humans in the matrix. I don't do shit illegal, don't do anything to alter my senses (drugs & alcohol) or any other thing that can-
bring me under the watchful gaze of law enforcement, well, besides post shit like this on social media. I'm allergic to the police, misdemeanors & felonies. White people love getting niggas caught up in the criminal justice system b/c so many of them eat off our failure.
Prosecutors, judges, clerks police, bailiffs, corrections officers, wardens & a shit other people get paid to indict, try, convict & warehouse niggas. Its all a racket. Create a hell for U to occupy, make your conditions impossible such that you resort 2 crime & then incarcerate-
yo black ass 4 life. The longer youre incarcerated, the more money they make. Whether its speeding tickets or incarceration, the criminal justice system is set up 2 capitalize off black failure. Slavery by another name. We're keeping white folk employed & thriving simply off the-
predetermined choices white supremacy meant for us to make. There are a lot of dead niggas walking around. We just aint buried them yet. Meanwhile, I'm just trying 2 stay alive. This is a helluva way to live, but then again, black people don't get to live. We only get to survive.

COMPETENCE NEEDED

Remember him? I don't want to hear shit about foregiveness, love & the blood of White Jesus. Dis mafucka should rot in hell. Any black pastor that does this to black people should be hung on an upside down cross & crucified. Real talk.

I absolutely detest this shit. As a preacher, I actually joked about starting the PBI or the Preacher Bureau of Investigation where I form a group that randomly investigates preachers. In many ways, I have felt some black churches have done great damage to black people.

We need our own investigatory agency that keeps preachers under surveillance. Not like J. Edgar Hoover but more like some "To Catch a Predator" w/Chris Jansen type shit. Its more of this shit going on than U think. What's sicker is how quick Negroes quickly 4give these mafuckas.

Black folk are in dire need of a new theology. This hyperfocus on forgiveness & love will be the end of us. We have perverted the ministry of Jesus Christ. Somehow Christians have gotten a monopoly on the understanding of Christ. There were a group of people who followed Christ -

for almost 100 years before Christianity was ever institutionalized as a religion. They didn't have no church, no choir, no pastor, no offering, or no nothing. They were just armed with a witness of a black man who led a protest against the Roman government & was executed for it.

I actually once outed a well known professor for being a fraud. All this started with his British professor colleague joking in class how he loved America b/c most Americans thought he was so brilliant just b/c he had a British accent. He told the class how back home-

he was nothing, but he was given some advice by another British friend that in America he could thrive because they would find him exotic & different. So he left Britain & came to America climbing all the way to the top of the Ivy League. While overseas, I actually ran n2 a Brit-

that knew him & said, "Oh yes, we regarded him as pretty mediocre for our tastes. Many failed British scholars go to America where they can be stars. We send all our mediocrity there." He said that shit very nonchalantly, but with dead seriousness. He said this wasn't just true--

-in academia but in many other fields as well. He called this "the lure of immigrant exotics." He said that human beings have a natural tendency to be attracted to the exotic. He felt many of Britain's failed scholars had cracked the code of parlaying their accent &

"it doesn't appear Democrats would have enough support in their caucus to change the rules because at least two centrists are resisting." CNN

Now imagine if the roles were reversed. What would Mitch McConnell

Why do I have little faith that anything will change under Biden? Look no further than Dems reticence to kill the filibuster. Real talk.

YOU GOT 2 YEARS. 2 FUCKING YEARS.

Prediction: If Dems dont kill the filibuster, they will lose the midterms thus losing Congress & Trumpism-

returns in 2024. All b/c Dems cant bring themselves 2 being as ruthless 4 their principles & values as Repubs are 4 theirs. Where is Democrats' Mitch McConnell? Who on the Democrat side is as ruthless as McConnell. No one. McConnell don't give a fuck & Dems have no such villain.

Leadership aint got a goddamn thing 2 do w/whether U or I agree on what said leader is doing. Leadership is about whether the mafucka in charge DOES WHAT HIS/HER PEOPLE SENT THEM THERE TO DO. Herein lies the problem w/electing a moderate in times that calls for a progressive.

Hear me. ALL OF JOE BIDEN'S TENURE WILL COME DOWN TO WHETHER SENATE DEMOCRATS KILL THE FILIBUSTER. McConnell is still behaving like he is in charge, telling the Democrats there will be no impeachment trial just like he told Obama there will be no Supreme Court nomination.

Check out Mrs. Young's words:

"I voted for Mayor Lightfoot after she came to my church because I believed in her as a Black woman."

Lori Lightfoot is a horrible human being. Not only did she attempt to do the same thing as her white predecessor &

withhold video of white police terrorizing a black person, but she lied about seeing the video and "falsely denied her administration withheld footage of the raid from Ms. Young." So miss me with this bullshit that somehow black life is safer under black politicians...

If statutorily possible, black Chicagoans should immediately launch a recall election to remove Lightfoot from office. She should never again be allowed to occupy public office. Put simply, black life isn't even safe under black leadership....

Just ask the family of Rashard Brooks why black Atlanta mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms is blocking their settlement negotiations regarding the white cop who murdered Brooks in a Wendy's drive through parking lot. I need you to comprehend precisely what Lorraine Hansberry was saying..

when she said "all my skin folk aint my kinfolk." Black people have little 2 show for their black leadership. White supremacy is so sinister that it often puts black faces on white horror. Hence, U often get the same, if not worst outcomes even when black folks are figureheads...

How do you explain the Trinity in Chinese? If you're a Christian in Tang China, there's a few ways!

I'm @ChenHuailun, back for my last #Twittistorian thread, this time on translating the names of God in Chinese Christian documents. ~ahc #jingjiao 1/


There are two main writers/translators credited in the extant documents of the Christian (called 'Jingjiao' 景教 in Chinese) corpus of Tang China: Aluoben and Jingjing. ~ahc #jingjiao /2

Aluoben (阿蘿本) was said to have been the Persian missionary responsible for bringing Christianity to China, arriving in Chang'an in 635 and building a church there with 21 monks. ~ahc #jingjiao /3


'Observing the azure clouds, he [Aluoben] bore the true sacred books; beholding the direction of the winds, he braved difficulties and dangers.' - Xi'an stele ~ahc #jingjiao /4


Let's pause on this name, Aluoben (阿蘿本). Some translate it as 'Olopen.' Is it a Syriac name, perhaps a rendering of Yahballaha or Abraham? Or perhaps a Middle Persian name Anōš-ruwān (meaning immortal soul)? ~ahc #jingjiao /5

1/10 With respect, multiple straw men here:
A) If you mean by "legally questionable" either that Senate is barred by constitution from trying an official impeached while in office, or that there are even very strong arguments against it, I have to differ...


2/10 Constitutional structure, precedent & any fair reading of original intent dictate that argument for jurisdiction is far stronger than argument against. On original intent, see

3/10 If you mean argument against jurisdiction is plausible, sure, it's plausible. It's just weak. In practical fact, Senate can try Trump now, find him guilty & disqualify him from future office if there are sufficient votes. And no court would presume to overturn that result

4/10 b) The argument from resources is awfully hard to take seriously. Fewer than a dozen House members act as Managers for a few weeks. They are staffed, as are Senators hearing case, by folks whose job it is to do stuff like this...

5/10 Yes, Senate floor time will be taken up. But it's past time for us to stop thinking of members of either house as feeble, fluttering, occupants of a nationally-funded convalescent home. There are nearly 500 of these people with 1000s of staff and a bunch of big buildings...

Dear Friends,

On a rather deeper look at things, Police brutality is the topmost of the agitation but the anger and fury is deeper, bottled up for many years. An oppression our fathers have endured and the children now say No More, Enough is Enough!

In the context of the current scenario “SARS” has become a metaphor.

“SARS” in our society today represents all the inefficiencies, corruption, structural imbalances, faults and All the shenanigans of the Political class

If this present fury does not inspire an overhaul of the Nigerian system, then we may be headed for another restless round of 60 year of disastrous merry go round. This Nation needs a RESET NOW!!

It’s a good time to negotiate the fixing of this great Nation.

How long do we keep singing; Nigeria has great potentials? Let those potentials start working for good

If we must tell our selves the bitter truth as a people we urgently need to fix these;

* A drastic cut in cost of governance
* Federal Ministers shouldn’t be more than 10

* Remove the lofty attraction in public office
* Reduce the powers of the centre and decentralize reasonably
* Fix our defective constitution
* Reset the civil service
* Create regional economic/developmental competition
* Allow states to explore their resources/endowment

2️⃣ This one is a little different, it hits close to home in many different ways, the Yemeni Civil War is a unique phenomenon in moder warfare, the majority of people don't even know what's really going on and who's fighting who.

3️⃣ The combatants :
Iranian backed Supreme Political Council (Houthis)
  International recognized Government (Hadi-led government)
  South Yemen Nationalists Southern Transitional Council

4️⃣ The (allegedly Turkish and Qatari backed) Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant – Yemen Province (ISIL-YP)
 The (allegedly Iranian and Qatari backed) Ansar al-Sharia and Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP)


5️⃣The so called Supreme political council of Yemen is a Mish mash of bad guys and misfits, Iran supplies the Houthis with arms, drones and ballistic missiles, Hezbollah delivers these arms through shell corporations and Hezbollah operators man the missiles

We were pulled over by Nigerian police the last time I was in Naija and this man saw a weapon certification in my wallet and was shocked. The weapon certification had a list of weapons I was qualified to shoot. He yelled "you fit shoot this thing?" I said "yes nau".. he-

Yelled "so if I give you this my gun, you fit shoot am well". I said "boya you should give me and let us see? 🤷🏾‍♂️" He said "who qualify you?". I said "This thing clearly says "Missouri State. Na yankee nah! I mean USA". He yelled "Sergeant Ojo! Sergeant blah blah come o!"

He looked at the uber driver "you come down! And come here! Sergeant! Search the car and search it well. Na huge case dey here! This man fit get guns inside the car! Search it well!" 🤣🤣🤣 I was just laughing! I was like "Mr Police, why you dey harrasss me?"

They all started to cock their guns anyhow "praaaa move! Kini kan! Stay there! Don't move! If you moveeee?!" I was just laughing" They started telling the bystanders to not move! People were putting hands on their heads like we had done something wrong.

The uber driver started crying "I said guy calm down, no dey give this people chance." They searched o! And found nothing as expected. The boss asked where I lived, and I explained I just came back from the US. I presented my passport and boarding passes to him to back it up.

The Story of how Mary Slessor Stopped the killing of Twins but sadly died of Fever.

All you need to know

Retweet to educate someone


Killing new-born twins was common practice in the 19th century among the Ibibio people of Nigeria, but one Scotswoman went to great lengths to put an end to this.

Aberdeen-born Mary Slessor was one of the few missionaries in Africa who learnt the local language, adapted to the native customs and environment and gained the trust of the locals in order to make a truly positive impact.

Her father, a shoe-maker from Buchan, became incapacitated by alcoholism and Mary more or less became the breadwinner for the family.

From the age of 11, she worked as a ‘half-timer’ mill girl in the Baxter Brothers and Co Ltd, spending half the day at a school provided by the mill owners and the other half working for the company

RANI GAIDINLIU:THE LESSER KNOWN FREEDOM FIGHTER

Rani Gaidinliu joined the freedom struggle at 13 &was sentenced to life imprisonment at 16."We r free people—the White should not rule over us.”Thus calling out to her Zeliangrong tribesmen was the voice of 13yr-old Rani Gaidinliu.


She joined the freedom struggle in the present-day Northeast India. Today, her struggle is lost in history as most of her countrymen wouldn’t even have heard her name. B'coz our history textbooks tell us that only Mahatma Gandhi &Pandit Nehru got India its Independence.


At 16 yrs of age, this valiant girl was sentenced to life imprisonment for leading a movement to drive out the colonial rulers from Manipur and Nagaland. Nevertheless, she was released in 1947 after India’s independence and was given the title ,"Rani of Nagas".


EARLY LIFE AND HERAKA MOVEMENT

Gaidinliu belonged to the Rongmei clan of the Zeliangrong tribe in the Tamenglong district of western Manipur. Born on January 26, 1915, she was fifth among eight children.


Her native village was Nungkao, which is present day Tamenglong distt. Brought up in a specially backward region,she couldn't receive any formal education. However,this didn't stop her from joining the freedom struggle. At the age of 10 she came under the influence of her cousin.

RISHI ASHTAVAKRA(DEVAL)

Those who are well versed in our ancient scriptures must definitely have come across the name of Ashtavakra Muni. Who was he and what is the story behind his body getting crooked from all sides.

Muni Asit was the son of Pracheta Rishi.


He was childless and this caused a lot of worry to him. But an Akashvani assured him that he should go to Shivji to get all his
worries nullified.

So he along with his wife go to Shivji and after paying him obeisance start singing Shivji's praises.

He describes Shiv as the one who is beyond any other thing, whose glory has no words to describe. After this the couple stands with folded hands in front of Rudradev. The strotras sung in praise of Shiv possess magical qualities even today.

Shiv gets satisfied by them soon and is ready to grant a boon.

Shiva told him that, he very well knew what the Muni desired. He then gives him the "Sansaar Vijay' mantra and asks him to keep reciting it. The Isht devi would come at an appropriate time and fulfill his wish.

Asit Muni kept reciting this mantra for hundred years. The Devi appeared and granted him the boon of a son as a Shivansh. A son was born and was named as Deval. He grew upto be a great scholar well versed and a handsome young man. Asit Muni got him married to Ratnamalavati.

The presiding diety is Cheluva Narayana Swamy/ Selva Pillai/ Rama Priyan.


Once, Sri Rama gave his aradhana murthi of Sri Ranganatha, to Raja Vibhishana on his request. So he was left without a murthi for his daily pujas. Brahma is said to have provided the murti of Selva Pillai to Rama who later passed this on to his sons, Lava and Kusa.


When Kusa’s daughter married a Yadava prince, this murthi moved to the lunar dynasty from solar.

It is said that the utsav murthi got the name Selva Pillai due to Sri Ramanuja.
Once, a Sultan took away this murthi and Sri Ramanuja went in its search to the Sultan’s palace.

Recently, the @CNIL issued a decision regarding the GDPR compliance of an unknown French adtech company named "Vectaury". It may seem like small fry, but the decision has potential wide-ranging impacts for Google, the IAB framework, and today's adtech. It's thread time! 👇

It's all in French, but if you're up for it you can read:
• Their blog post (lacks the most interesting details): https://t.co/PHkDcOT1hy
• Their high-level legal decision: https://t.co/hwpiEvjodt
• The full notification: https://t.co/QQB7rfynha

I've read it so you needn't!

Vectaury was collecting geolocation data in order to create profiles (eg. people who often go to this or that type of shop) so as to power ad targeting. They operate through embedded SDKs and ad bidding, making them invisible to users.

The @CNIL notes that profiling based off of geolocation presents particular risks since it reveals people's movements and habits. As risky, the processing requires consent — this will be the heart of their assessment.

Interesting point: they justify the decision in part because of how many people COULD be targeted in this way (rather than how many have — though they note that too). Because it's on a phone, and many have phones, it is considered large-scale processing no matter what.
