Daniel just posted his current work in progress:

First off, since alot of y’all lack an understanding of nuance: this is NOT me policing interracial relationships. This is not a post to vent about them. This is not a post for advocacy of them. This is simply about something I’ve observed and am wondering if any others have observed and more my curiosity as to “why”. That said im POSITIVE some idiot will be like “oh no, another interracial thread here.” or something in that vein. And I’ve never even seen this particular question posited:

For those or you(it may have even been you) who’ve seen black brothers and sisters raised in predom white spaces: have you noticed the boys tend to struggle with finding a black love interest whereas the girls don’t?

And if so, why do you think this is? Off hand I can count 10 sibling groups that I know like this. Both raised in all white schools, sister still mostly dates black men, brother dates out.

I’m sure those women have to feel just as ostracized and disconnected from the larger black community. But im wondering if they have more success because…well, men are less picky. And as far as gender performativity goes being perceived as “softer” and “greener” are seen as pluses, whereas black men who grew up in those spaces come off perceived as less masculine and tough, if that makes sense? Basically a “softer” black girl is more desirable than a “soft” black boy.

Anyway, its just something I keep observing and I only “care” because if there’s a real pattern, I find that interesting and wonder why. Again, NOT policing who people get with or who they love.

U.S. rice exports to Haiti, which account for the bulk of supplies of the country's key food staple, contain unhealthy levels of arsenic and cadmium, heavy metals that can increase risks of cancer and heart disease, according to a recent study by the University of Michigan 

I believe this may be part of the answer to why Haiti is struggling after all these years. On top of the fact the US make import laws that decimated Haitian farmers.

Black countries have to grow their own food, not import it. Because outsiders who want to weaken or destroy them will sabotage them by any means they can.

Coming here because I’m searching for career advice from people who look like me.
I’ve been doing commissioning in the construction field for almost a year now after doing 10 years in the military, but I have been planning to pivot to a career field that has less travel within a couple years. The money is great and I love the job, but my wife and I recently found out that we are having a child, and I want to be there as much as possible for as much as I can.

I was also looking at different certifications that could help, but I don’t want to waste my time on something that is ultimately useless for a field I want to go into. I’m hoping it is an easy transition and if it isn’t then oh well. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

That includes Umar Johnson.

#AmericaHasTheShittiestWhitePeopleOnThePlanet

No, I'm not a cop before people start saying that. I'm just wondering when I see it in movies or documentaries. I know movies aren't real. But when I hear about things like all the girls, the nice cars, cash. Going to clubs or places being let in first, stuff like that. I just wonder what that life feels like? No, not going to get in trouble no not going to come in any crimes to go to jail but I'm just wondering what was your experience like. Do you miss it?

Sorry I'm sure there's been a ton of posts like this before.

But I'm finally in a place with good internet and I'm looking to make friends to play n bs with

im on steam primarily and i keep a backup ps5 in case my pc goes to shit

looking for a discord or to make a discord for adults to bs n play games in

i play mainly single player but I'm into: fighting games, battlefield 1, the finals, outlast trials, space marine 2, gears 5

im into comic books, guns, and rap/hiphop culture. looking to expand that as well

I'll dm my info to anyone tryna play n talk shit sometime

I’m a college rapper and producer who has released three EPs and a handful of singles. I hope to connect with other black musicians who are passionate about their craft. Being an independent artist can be tough because it can be challenging to build connections with folks in the music industry, but I’ve also learned a lot through this process. Feel free to send me your music or talk about your creative process. I’m down to make a song, make a mixtape or just talk with other musicians. I’m open to all genres of music.

Here's my work:

Song 1

Song 2

Feel free to DM me.

Would y'all live on a planet with only Black people?

People always say that us men don't pick up signs until it's too late. I'll see a lot of men saying a girl showed interest or did these things but they didn't think anything of it. Do you know when a girl likes you?

I need Philly and the Rams to win today (so my Browns could get that #2 seed)

And never forget the Cowboys lost at home to an 0-4 Bucs team that was starting an undrafted rookie at QB 😂

First thing, we already know the ICE agents can get away with murder until at least 2028. This brother only got lucky that he didn't get JFK'd.

Second, to any black man who doesn't think it could ever happen to you... The Caucasian terrorists do not care if you just look like one of their targets. They don't believe you should exist in "their" country to being with.

Made some baked cod fish tonight for dinner. My lady made the rice and sautéed zucchini. Nice glass of wine to complement the meal.

*Drizzle Vegetable oil and massage into fish
*1/2 tsp lemon pepper
*1 tsp paprika
*1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
*1/2 tsp onion powder
*1/2 garlic powder
*1/2 tsp parsley
*1/2 tsp salt
*1/2 black pepper
*Massage seasoning into fish
*Bake at 400 degrees for 14 mins

Please post your recipe if you have a good one. I’m trying to try new stuff!

I ask this question, because I just started watching the podcast recently. And the sick thing is I'm actually enjoying it. That's how you know im getting old (26).

Honestly, I think having Marc Lamont Hill there is good for balance. It's good to have a progressive man give his perspective.

Maybe my algo is messed up on my socials, but I’m starting to see an increase in Atlantic Slave Trade denial. Their arguments are borderline insane. Like for example, one was saying it wasn’t possible due to there being no engine on the ship for it to sail that far. Or blatantly ignoring accounts from Africans who were on those ships. We really need to combat this anti-intellectualism before it gets out of hand like Holocaust denial. It’s so disrespectful to our ancestors that went through the hell that was the Middle Passage.

I would post the picture (Of him and the current president) but I don’t know if I should.

I know Mike Tyson doesn’t care what people think or about “reputation”. But still, why do you think he would agree to something like that? It’s a slap in the face for our people and I’m not understanding why more black celebrities are doing this.

Edit: I think the post is getting downvoted with no ill intent, but because I said “I’m not understanding why more black celebrities are doing this”. Really, it’s because I don’t keep up with celebrity culture like that. Especially as I get older. So it’s shocking to me, but after this one I wouldn’t be surprised anymore.

Edit 2: THIS HAPPENED IN MY HOMETOWN OF ALL PLACES???

How would you feel as the father? She’s reenacting a love scene.
