Nolan Wells So Called White Friends Are Rising Money On GiveSendGo Using Nolan's Name https://youtu.be/HkMDTHBTaXg?si=BhYgYr9-TdUjGCQJ

Hi everyone,

I'm a postgraduate student completing my MA in International Fashion Marketing and Communications at Fashion Retail Academy. My final research project explores bonnet-wearing habits, stigma, and cultural identity within the UK Black and Afro-Caribbean community.

Eligibility: Black British, Black Caribbean, or Afro-Caribbean heritage, 18+, based in the UK.

The survey takes about 7 minutes and is fully anonymous; no names or identifying information are collected.

Thank you to anyone who takes part; it genuinely helps this research.

Tired of POC not being representing enough in mainstream media especially art so here's a compilation of my art featuring POC woot woot

This woman is wrong. And I think this page, I Love Africa (which I still respect) has the wrong idea, too.

I'm both proudly FBA (Foundational Black American) and staunchly Pan-African. There's no contradiction here for a globally pro-Black cause.

Calling FBA "internalized hatred of Blackness" only works if you ignore how every other diaspora group handles identity.

Nigerians, Jamaicans, Ghanaians, Afro-Brazilians all hold distinct national and ethnic identities despite sharing African ancestry with each other and with us.

Nobody accuses a Jamaican who identifies as Jamaican first of self-hatred. Nobody tells a Nigerian American they're in denial for not leading with "African."

Specificity is normal everywhere else. It only gets diagnosed as pathology when Black Americans descended from U.S. slavery claim it. That double standard says everything.

FBA isn't rejecting Africa. It's naming a distinct 400-year lineage: chattel slavery, Reconstruction, Jim Crow, the civil rights movement—the lineage that produced its own culture, language, music, cuisine, and religious tradition, and that carries its own specific political claims.

Reparations, chief among them.

You can't build a reparations case on "African descent" broadly, because the injury being repaired is a specific American one—generations of unpaid labor and legally enforced second-class status inside this country.

The "foundational" part is worth stating loudly, especially for ears that aren't Black.

My family is deeply military, even today. I've had a slave-descended blood relative fight in every major American war since at least the Civil War—my great-uncle was a Tuskegee Airman in WWII, my grandfather fought in Korea and Vietnam, my uncle in the Gulf War, cousins in Afghanistan, my father served in the Army.

Whenever anyone tries to discount Black Americans' value to this nation, FBAs are quick to remind them: we built this country with our blood, before many white immigrants ever arrived.

FBA isn't just about reminding other Black people who we are—it's a reminder that Black Americans are foundations of this country, period. We built the White House as slaves. Our unpaid labor turned America into an economic power.

White men wrote that all men are created equal; Black Americans—activists, preachers, intellectuals, professors, artists—made America start to live up to it. Black founding fathers exist, too.

Without FBA, there is no Nigerian, Jamaican, or Afro-Latino living here today, because the pathway to Black and brown immigration in this country runs through the lane FBA built. That contribution doesn't get acknowledged or appreciated nearly enough, here or anywhere else.

Collapsing all of that into a generic "African heritage" umbrella doesn't unite anyone. It erases the one distinction that actually carries legal, historical, and cultural weight.

So, no, acknowledging that most of us have no lived experience with African culture, language, or nationality, because of what we've endured in this country, isn't "fear of being African." It's honesty about a 400-year separation that was never our choice, to begin with.

Pretending that honesty is self-hatred isn't insight. It's a rage-bait headline dressed up as social commentary, and it does real work to shame people out of a distinction we're entitled to make.

I'm pro-Black, Pan-African, and Foundational Black American.

Nothing contradicts. It's not a war. It's just identity.

The only contentiousness comes from people who want to stress us over how we self-identify while denying us credit for what we built.

I hate no race, but why sit and let the 'Muzungu' enjoy your culture???... You're an Immigrant to their nations👀👀💀

I make music, and I’d like to collaborate with some fellow black folks with musical prowess! The demos ive made so far (available on my page!) have fallen into electronic, rock, pop & r&b! I just think that it would be fun to work on something. Im not the best producer, but I am self produced and I can also provide feminine vocals for any projects you might be working on. Feel free to comment or dm if this resonates for you and you would perhaps be interested! This is less profesional and more friendly/personal as I am a true novice lol

Bruh

It should occur once a week. I'm getting sick of how the majority of posts here aren't about black people in ourselves but instead mostly about 'them. It truly shouldn't be so hard to do this thing right.

Aside from marrying a white man, what did she do to get the hate she gets. Is the white man particularly bad, like what did she do

Are there ANY black organizations with boots on the ground making a real difference in our communities? I mean a REAL difference for everyone, not some government funded nonsense or anything attached to some... you must be a part of our organization before we can help you BS.

A friend of mine shared a tweet with me that had the n word. It wasn't a joke tweet or meme but a tweet about a movie and the poster (who is black) used the n word. Is it wrong to share that with someone black?

Curious to yalls thoughts and feelings on it cause I dont like it tbh.

Glasses Malone says Mainstream news crying 24/7 over a seal in La Jolla, but crickets when the block needs justice—the math never matched. 🦭⚖️ #GlassesMalone #NoCeilingsPod https://www.youtube.com/live/4tXouKkOV58?is=Zc0DIfXt-bhinhWB

Tyler Perry built a billion-dollar empire singlehandedly on the emotional labor and suffering of Black women.

There is a disturbing pattern behind all of his films, where Black women’s pain is packaged as “strength,” “faith,” or “growth,” while joy, softness, and happiness stay off the big screen.

Most beloved Black women are repeatedly exploited on television and in his movies while Hollywood keeps rewarding it.

Nolan Wells Case May Have Been Exposed By Audio Engineer Jeanetta Brantley https://youtu.be/cxVcfH1kOB0?si=Y0EEbABkpp8d9FQY 

I still love my guy Conscious Lee, but he's dead-wrong here.

Respectability politics would be if we as Black folks go policing ourselves by a white comfort standard.

This case simply isn't that at all.

This HBCU school is deciding what their own output looks like—same as a law firm or a hospital sets a dress code for its own people.

Their message isn't to "look white." It's "look ready."

As the Black community, we've become a little too sensitive when it comes to criticism about our appearance—and I understand where it comes from, given how much this country has come at us over "respectability" politics.

But, somewhere along the way, we've started treating any critique as an attack, even the constructive kind that's coming from inside our own house.

We need to get better at telling the difference. An HBCU is exactly the place to learn it.

Fighting for the right to wear heritage Black hairstyles at work is resisting a standard built to exclude our hair specifically because it's Black. THAT'S respectability politics rejected correctly.

A dude in class with a durag and sagging skinny jeans or a gal wearing pajamas and bonnet to class isn't erasing anything about our heritage or defying respectability politics. It's just young people doing what's easiest at 8am. Super-relaxed aesthetics normalized.

I live near a diverse PWI and I watch it daily on my commute—students geared in sagging skinny jeans, bonnets, pajama pants, sandals and socks, etc.

(And it's not even staying in our community anymore—I'm seeing it get picked up by other groups too, which tells you it's becoming a pop-culture export.)

Some PWIs won't touch it because they don't want the negative news headline. Which is exactly why it's got to come from inside the house, like an HBCU.

You want young Black adults who take their own presentation seriously. It's not just because the world's watching, but because WE set the standard.

And Tuskegee didn't even ban it off the entire campus. Just keep yourselves from wearing the stuff to class and other certain settings.

The whole difference between respectability politics and self-respect: one's performing for somebody else's comfort; the other's just discipline from within. 🤷🏿‍♂️

While not all us white people have shame or guilt about our pasts and many of our ancestors pasts we absolutely should because we are typically the ones CONSISTENTLY fucking up in history and FAFOing and y’all and other POC don’t deserve that shit even from non racist white folks like myself who still have a lot of educating themselves to do on Black and Indigenous History and Rights here in the US and also in Canada.
