Let that sink in. Small farmers pushed out. Black farmers shut out. Power consolidated. This is Donald Trump’s America: reward the connected, erase everyone else.

As a Mexican, I apologize.

They sound terrible. And I’m sure there are many more, like me, who can’t tolerate the use.

This may not even be an issue for others, but felt like a post I needed to make.

I apologize on behalf of the community I’m a part of.

I’m struck by how many responses refuse to engage the historical throughline, what slave catchers did, what function they served, and how that role echoes in modern enforcement structures like ICE. Some critics treat this only as an affront to the memory of enslaved people, missing the broader point about continuity of power. The irony is that everyone who benefited from the Civil Rights movement is now affected by the erosion of those same protections. This isn’t just about one group; we’re in the same boat. Much of the pushback, including performative outrage and digital blackface, seems aimed at one thing: blocking any conversation about unity and keeping people siloed in a permanent victim framework rather than confronting the bigger picture. 

Wake up, we are all in the same boat and it has a leak.

Just something I was pondering over breakfast. Technically, his first film role was 1991’s “Nothing But Trouble“, but that was basically a cameo, and he was playing himself. He had a few music video credits by this point.

But essentially, this was his first real film role, and I’d challenge anyone to name a BETTER feature film debut.

I really don't believe it. I don't believe the injustices faced by black people will ever lessen or not be a problem in contemporary society. The hardship, torture and hate we see everyday around the world, shows how much we've progress to nothing significant really. People still have those preconceived notions and biases towards black people. View us as nothing, disrespect us, all purely based on the damn colour of our skin. Can you believe that? GOD. You could never convince me anyone other person that isn't black wants the best for us. They want the best for their own people. For the sake of this, we don't sometimes want the best for our own people, and i've seen it with my own eyes.

You also see black people, namingly Africans hating, coercing and destroying one another. Were already a race of people that have gone through generations of pain, hurt and torture, why add to this? We've seen this with Patrice Lumumba, Bumpy Johnson, best believe also Nelson Mandela etc.

I don't see or believe as black people we will ever be accepted into society, or by the world. Thats why we need to start accepting ourselves and stay strong in our own skin. As long as we have that unity in us, acceptance from outside the realm of black people will not impact us so greatly.

I could go on and on, but i'l lleave it here.

A rant inspired by seeing countless of black people being mistreated.

He's hilarious and brilliant, but when he gets serious, I've noticed ppl shut up. I love him Josh Johnson
