This hashtag on #Tiktok #WhiteInBlackFields is disgusting and it makes me sick to my stomach how people can post whatever #Racist things they want on #SocialMedia the fact that #Ghanaians are sharing and applauding a white woman using this hashtag just because she's showing their food (WHICH IS WRONG AND MANY PEOPLE POINTED THAT OUT IN THE COMMENTS) When it comes to #Cultural sensitivity I guess Black Africans can applaud racism when it it towards #AfricanAmericans

Resist: How a Century of Young Black Activists Shaped America by Rita Omokha, 2024

What do the struggles of the past teach us about the urgent challenges in our own time? Resist chronicles the inspiring story of young Black activists who have fought tirelessly at the helm for justice over the last century, from the 1920s to the Trayvon generation—how they reshaped America, left an indelible mark on history...

... and paved the way for the crucial work that must be done today. Growing up as a Nigerian immigrant in the South Bronx, award-winning journalist Rita Omokha contended with her Blackness. In 2020, when George Floyd died at the hands of a white police officer, her exploration further developed as she traveled to thirty states attempting to mine contemporary race relations in the United States. During her trip, she encountered audacious young people like 17-year-old Darnella Frazier, who filmed Floyd’s murder, entering a seismic tragedy into the public and historical records, and set off a wave of unprecedented protests across the country. Darnella’s quick thinking and courage in that moment is part of a more significant legacy: that of the young Black people—often only teenagers—who have been at the forefront of fortifying and safeguarding American democracy in the last hundred years. In Resist, Rita charts the last century of civil rights activism, from the early years of renowned activist Ella Baker and others she inspired, to the first glimpse of allyship in the Bates Seven and a renewed examination of the Black Panther Party, all the way to the current generation of young Black revolutionaries who walked American cities in the wake of the murders of countless Black people. Rita also draws on her own experiences as a Black immigrant living in America, offering a unique and insightful perspective on this ongoing struggle for justice.

By the time of his death on Nov 3 at 91 at his home in Los Angeles, #QuincyJones had become a renaissance impresario of #music, #film & #TV, catapulting the careers of Oprah Winfrey & Will Smith & smashing barriers for other #AfricanAmericans.

Jones’s 6-decade career was nothing short of Zelig-like. He brimmed w/anecdotes about his encounters w/figures from Nazi propagandist Leni Riefenstahl to Sinatra to the rap star Tupac Shakur, who was engaged to one of Jones’s daughters before his murder.
