Our only hope is to form our own. To learn more join my cartel here https://www.russellbrand.com​/join​ and get weekly bulletins too incendiary for anything but your private inbox. *not a euphemism.

  2. "Calling Meghan Markle “Uppity” Is Just Another Dog Whistle | The Amber Ruffin Show." The Amber Ruffin Show, Youtube. [5:56] The Amber Ruffin Show. New videos every week https://pck.tv/3pOiao8​  Last Sunday, Oprah interviewed Meghan Markle and Prince Harry about their experience stepping back from the Royal Family. And a lot of the interview was about the pain Meghan has suffered at the hands of the British press. They are truly evil to her. That whole country talks about Meghan like she stole their man, which, uhh, we guess she did. Now, we look at Meghan Markle, and we see a nice lady in well-tailored clothes. But when the press writes about that same woman, all of a sudden, she’s “difficult,” “not appropriate,” “unsuitable as a wife,” and favorite, “uppity.” Wonder why they chose that word…  Show Synopsis: Amber showcases her signature smart-and-silly take on the news of the week, responding to it all with a charming, late-night mix of seriousness, nonsense, and evening gowns.

  5. "Tamara Lanier’s Fight to Reclaim Her History Could Be Any One of Ours." Vanessa K. De Luca, Medium.com. Imagine if you learned that photographs of your enslaved ancestors had been rediscovered in a museum at Harvard. Then imagine how you would feel if someone told you that you have no right to those photographs. Such is the plight of Tamara Lanier, who has taken on the Ivy League behemoth to secure the rights to the photos, which languished in a drawer out of sight and away from the public eye for years. The daguerreotypes depict women and men, breasts and genitalia exposed, their haunting stares a riveting testament to the degradation our ancestors endured during slavery’s shameful reign.

  6. "The 10 Most Infuriating Things People Have Said to Me as a Black Woman." Sondra Rose Marie, Medium.com. ‘Do you know how to read?’ In the time of coronavirus, I spend a lot of time sitting around with the friends in my quarantine circle trading stories about our lives before the pandemic. Recently, our conversation turned to the worst dates we’d ever been on, and as I relayed one of my dating failures, I shared a racially charged comment one suiter made on a first date.

  7. "Woman fights Harvard over rights to nude SC images of her enslaved ancestors." Jennifer Berry Hawes, Postandcourier.com. What on earth were these? Nothing in the drawer explained what they’d discovered. Only small, handwritten labels affixed to each offered clues: “Fassena (carpenter), Mandingo, plantation of Col. Wade Hampton, near Columbia, S.C.” “Jack (driver), Guinea, plantation of B.F. Taylor, Esq., Columbia, S.C.” “Jem, Gullah, belonging to F.W. Green, Esq.” One of the researchers rushed downstairs to summon their colleagues. The discovery sent Reichlin and others on a quest to solve the disturbing mystery. It continues today, 45 years later. But Harvard historians weren’t the only ones hunting for clues. In 2019, a woman named Tamara Lanier sued the university for possession of the daguerreotypes. Based on her own research, she claimed to be a descendant of two people captured in them.

  8. "GOP-Led States Still Mad About The 1619 Project, Considering Legislation to Dictate How Slavery Is Taught." Joe Jurado, Theroot.com. It’s Thursday, so you know what that means: Another round of Republicans being unwilling to face the fact that slavery was the horrific, violent foundation upon which this country was built. In several states with GOP leadership, legislation is being considered to ensure that the brutal reality of slavery isn’t taught in schools.
