#Meta #FaceBook #CarelessPeople #BlackMastodon #BlackTwitter

Just finished the book Meta doesn't want you to read: CARELESS PEOPLE by Sarah Wynn-WIlliams. I don't normally read tell all books but this one is worth a read. You can get through it quickly as it isn't a difficult read. But if you have friends and/or family that use Facebook and they are still capable of any kind of critical thought you should buy them a copy of the book. It's chilling.

All my lifelong middle class Black friends: Here's the 10th article on what Trump is doing and why.
Me: Were you uncertain about what he was doing and why?
Them: Well now let's see if Congress will have a "come to Jesus" moment.
Me: 😆 😆 😆
Me: (When I stop laughingly insanely) What are you all planning on doing?
Them:........

yeah...that's where we are.
The Black ministers protest at Target took place today. They didn't bring any signs...😞

The new African Film Festival ends Thursday night. You can leave the theater with a heavy heart after seeing the suffering the merchants of death are causing. Millions of Africans being killed and maimed while the west turns a blind eye. To the people of Sudan (No & So), Somalia, DRC, Ethiopia we see your fight to survive. To my family and friends in Niger, Mali and Burkina Faso, may you some day have a govt chosen by ballot rather than bullet.

This is my favorite time of the year in DC. The New African Film Festival is going on at AFI Silver Spring. Its 12 days of African film showings. Ethiopian film makers were heavily featured this week so I'm sharing a cut by Abby Lakew called Tene Habesha. Enjoy and the festival runs through 3/27.
