I’ve made it clear that I’m not a fan of Vlad, but he’s not wrong about Nore:

Since we’re imagining what civil rights activists would want, can we imagine what James Baldwin would want from Ta-Nehisi Coates in this moment ? Baldwin probably would want the writer who wrote The Case for Reparations to stay the course & continue to fight for rights & resources of American Descendants of Slavery. Baldwin would likely tell Coates that it’s fine to write critically of Israel, as Baldwin himself did, but not to lose sight of who he’s actually fighting for. In 2026, Baldwin might look around & see that Palestinians already have effective spokespeople and that their political Uncommitted strategy was far more effective than any strategy Black Americans have to improve our quality of life. All of the civil rights activists Coates mentioned might also tell him that the boot is still on our necks, and as such, that’s our priority. We can be empathetic, but we can’t pull the boot off anyone else’s neck right now. Coates wants us to give our political capital away before we’ve effectively used it on our own behalf. That’s a mistake. Coates does the Black freedom struggle a disservice. And given that we haven’t yet freed ourselves, we have no obligation beyond symbolic to free anyone else. And I don’t even know how Coates defines “we”, given how many of the people he named are not descended from American chattel slavery. It’s a mess. I don’t see brilliance here. I see a lack of focus.

Jay Morrison has to be a sociopath because how do you run off with the Tulsa Real Estate Fund $10+ million dollar💰 bag & then come back talking ‘bout “it’s takeoff time!”? Don’t ever give this scoundrel a second chance. Let’s purge our community of scammers in 2026. Make it a priority.

Both Hillary Clinton & Kamala Harris lost to Trump, so I don’t know how anyone thinks the middle necessarily has the votes. Black American voters are the base of the party, & what any successful Democratic nominee needs is near historic turnout from us. That requires real work & a real Black agenda. I also wonder if Fareed Zakaria still believes that Iran is a “paper tiger”, as he said in 2025 when he was singing the praises of Netanyahu.

The DNC autopsy found that Trump’s trans ad was very effective against Kamala Harris. That ad would not have been as effective without Charlemagne’s voice. I warned everyone against elevating him at the expense of actual journalists & political experts. Joy Reid’s “star & political maverick” really hurt the candidate she was supporting. These people are just bad at politics.

One reason I hate the glorification of drug dealing in movies, TV & music is because I understand that one of the main purposes behind flooding our community with drugs was to legally reproduce slavery. I don’t condemn people who sold drugs. I understand #ADOS have limited choices. But having sold drugs is something to be mourned, grieved, and regretted—not glorified & celebrated. Drug dealers are pawns in a deadly & racist scheme. There’s nothing heroic about it.

For the life of me, I can’t fathom their arrogance. Trump’s rise & the gutting of Civil Rights era gains is just as much a failure of the Black Political Class as it is a failure of Democrats more generally. Deleting comments won’t change that. And they haven’t been saying it for 20 years (as Monique Pressley says in her YouTube reply). They spent the last 10 years marginalizing the ADOS movement for aggressively challenging Democrats for how they neglect their ADOS base. The attached video is from 7 years ago when Kamala Harris first ran for president. It was obvious then that Pressley didn’t understand lineage. We never said Harris wasn’t “Black enough”. We said Harris—an Indian/Jamaican— couldn’t run on a lineage she didn’t have and we weren’t voting for Obama 2.0. We said Harris needed a serious BLACK AGENDA. Pressley said Harris was getting harsher treatment because she’s a woman. She was DEFENDING Harris. And regardless of the sexism female candidates face, Harris still needed a serious BLACK AGENDA. They should’ve been pressuring Harris instead of rallying around her. Fast forward to now and Pressley and her guest on her YouTube show are having the revelation that they *DO* need a Black agenda. That they *DO* need to be agenda driven rather than just aligned with the Democratic Party. That they are about a decade TOO LATE. They spent far too much time defending Democrats instead of pressuring them. They should get honest about that & take some responsibility for their political incompetence.

If this person is telling the truth about who Charlie Kirk was in high school, then we understand his origin story: 1/ Bully 2/ Mediocre 3/ Victim mentality 4/ Racist, Islamophobic, anti-Semitic The Right wing is a grievance industry for mediocre whites incapable of or unwilling to compete with other racial/ethic groups & their own women. And they have no metric for competence due to white supremacy. In their minds, whiteness equals superiority, which explains why Kirk blamed an “imaginary Black” for taking his spot at West Point. As if West Point ever owed him a spot. As if being white & male should’ve assured him a spot at America’s most elite military academy. This would also explain how Kirk ended up at community college instead of Yale, Brown or Harvard. He was average or below average—a reality that he refused to accept. Instead of managing his mediocrity by working harder to improve himself, he cloaked his grievances in politics & fanned the flames of hatred. And it seems that he debated college students not out of a spirit of free speech & open debate, but because he was still nursing hurt feelings from that West Point rejection. He was out to prove to college students that he actually was better, smarter than them. He wasn’t. White fragility is a threat to the nation.

I never know what’s real & what’s a skit, but if this is real, please let this lady know that I’m willing to pay for her one way ticket back to Haiti. Just a reminder: ❌ 80-90% of Port-au-Prince is under gang control ❌ Kindnappings🔫 & s*xual violence are rampant (that booty is a problem) ❌ Over a million Haitians are displaced, with many living in makeshift camps without sanitation or security (and you wanna come Black Americans dirty?) ❌ 5+ million people are facing acute food insecurity. Children are suffering from extreme malnutrition. ❌ Many hospitals and clinics have shut down due to violence. Cholera is back 🦠 When would she like to leave?
