Hey, y'all. Othello is currently taking a break so I thought I'd jumpstart the new thread since nobody else was getting to it.

How are we all doing this week? Sound down below! That means: vent, chat, gush, etc. Whatever you want to say or talk about.

As always: no crackers allowed!

Bonus discussion question:

Who are your favorite BIPOC or ethnic minority activists, organizers, labor union reps., leaders, etc. out there?

Emphasis on activists and organizers.

Can be such figures as Cesar Chavez, Rosa Parks, MLK, Jr., etc.

I want y'all to think about this one (but, like, it's not a prerequisite for joining this thread or making comments within it).

Take care and have fun!

    It is never wrong to stan Malcolm X. Read his autobiography it's incredible and also provides some good insights into his own self criticisms he had reached by the time he was unfortunately murdered

      When I was in middle school I read his autobiography and the teacher ratted me out to my parents for being a radical, learned early the whole 'forbidden book' idea. He's always 100% right on chuds v libs I think people have a tendency to forget.
