From Alabama to Wisconsin, Black community leaders are bracing themselves for more waves of hate, harassment, and threats.

“We know how to see a Confederate flag coming and take cover, but for an open-minded, educated, well-intentioned white person … who think they are woke and know how to speak for us, that’s actually more threatening to me than some Trump idiots because the Trump idiots may ride down the street, but they’re not really controlling policy. There are folks who don’t know Black people, and they’re making policies concerning us, which could be just as dangerous as what Trump does.”

--Rev. Alex Gee of Life Convenant Church in Madison WI and host of the Black Like Me podcast

[Canada] Black candidates: Racism, mistrust still barriers to political aspirations in Nova Scotia
https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/nova-scotia/black-candidates-municipal-elections-racism-1.7352628

* government representation for N.S.' historically Black communities abysmal
* man said "stop using the victim card" when talking about slavery & reparations

COMMENT: as white ally to marginalized persons, I encounter this pushback and respond: the damage is structural, systemic, GENERATIONAL 🙏

BOOK RECOMMENDATION:
This book was released on Monday. I listen deeply to Glaude when he talks with a passion that is so activating. I can't wait to get my hands on it. Please try and purchase, if you do, from a Black bookseller.

He and I share a mutual enduring love and respect for James Baldwin . I have the full collection of all of his books.

Eddie S. Glaude Jr., makes the case that the hard work of becoming a better person should be a critical feature of Black politics.

🤔 . This is a fact going back to slavery.

Touré.
Many Black people struggle with internalized racism. Almost all white people have internalized racism, they're just not struggling with it. They don't even know it's in them.

🤔 . Love the Grio. Toure is right on point.

OPINION: Despite concerns about his age and lack of charisma, President #Biden gives #Democrats the best chance at retaining the White House.
