A country built off free labor and sharecropping… this is definitely not the reason they want tik tok gone.
It’s Public knowledge that blacks have been owed reparations, have been abused in the field of labor. I don’t even use tik tok, this definitely isn’t the reason.
People can go on YouTube and get this same information

I could see an argument that 'big money' is a term of endearment for males.
Just as likely could also mean that individual is removed from some segments of black culture. Though I don't speak that way myself, I would not be offended or confused by this term but 1) I'm a male, and 2) I enjoy being across all social, economic, and cultural strata of black society so I'm used to it and can respond in kind. I suppose with all things subjective, your mileage may vary.

This was an excellent critique of pan-africanism which I have tried to make many times but never so succinctly. Well done.

Pan-Africanism is a modern ideology which has no root in traditional African thought. It was created as a response to colonialism and racism as state policy of the European and American countries. It was fashionable among the political and academic elites but never really made much in roads into the general population who primarily affiliate themselves based on tribe or in modern times, the nation-state.
I think pan-africanism has a worthy goal but is not the ideology for the job.

Don't be so hasty to respond. I already expounded on why it was limited. Moreover, the concept was successfully integrated into the general population, enabling the idea, originally conceptualized in the West, to spread to Africa and play a crucial role in the independence of several nations. It is noteworthy that Jamaica was the first country to impose economic sanctions against Apartheid Run South Africa, and this decision was not made arbitrarily. It was out of Soladirty to the Black people of South Africa. This unity and support is an example of Pan-Africanism.

Never knew dudes called women big money.
I swear those Twitter convos can be entertaining but I also acknowledge they are as fake as the WWE.
Some issues seem to only exist in those spaces and not jn reality.

short version:
Barely made it through on the first pass. Second time I watched it at the YouTube link to see what she said beforehand and then I made it about 10 seconds before I got tears in my eyes and got mad.

Saw a young couple having words in the early 4th of July morning and they were referring to each other as bro. Meth told Mary "I got mad love to give, you my ***** yo" While it's not common it ain't unheard of for male terms of affection to be applied to women.

Had a chance to see it live this weekend at Essence. Had the whole crowd cheering for her performance. Not just for her Star Spangled Banner Remix but for her live vocals and amazing set.

that Delroy Lindo clip is from a TV show called The Good Fight.
the people within our culture that see conspiracy in everything is embarrassing

Delroy is 70 and already a legend. He already solidified plus, the movie industry is different.
Like someone else said, it’s not always a conspiracy. Delroy probably is turning down roles at this point. He’s good
