Pinkwashing era 🙄

Took me too long to get to watching this. Olay & Friends is such a great place to hear good, nuanced discussions which deal with both the heart and the head of issues. Really appreciate the work you do, and recognise that there's a lot of work going into your work. People who just spout out the first thing off the top of their heads just seem to assume everybody does the same.

the idea of black peoples' proximity to "death work" is so impactful to me. on an extraordinary scale… the Black voting belt in the south runs the same route as a 100 million year old river, with the bodies of millions of organisms buried within its banks– the basis for the nutrient rich soil that allowed capitalism to drive industries of death and subjugation (via cotton production) for centuries.
been loving PBS recently; due to heat, on a global scale, psycho and somatic issues are being accelerated, and everybody is regressing with no time to grieve the generations that raised them, that they have been seeing die before them. our genes are more interconnected than we think;
in the age of information everybody is self soothing while trying to learn more about their TRAUMA, asking more questions… there is movement in hopeful places! 🥲🩷💛🩵☀
look into your own comorbidities and family histories; sleep disorders; common food intolerances based on region… and emdr has saved my life.
when i can concentrate and have time for school, once other chaos has been addressed, i've been wanting to go into mortuary science.

Hm Idk I think there is a critique/discussion to be had around the joy and excitement A lot of Black folks had when Kamala’s running was announced. It reminds me of Obama election..the calls for us to not criticize her or voice any type of disdain felt cultish. I genuinely do not see why any Black American would be joyful about any presidential elect regardless of race.. but I digress. Idk who folks vote for or if they vote.
-
Palestinians are also saying they need to stop the genocide regardless who is better on the issue
-
Holy hell red rapper himself.
-
It’s not only the tools of white supremacy. It’s the tools of colonialism. People forget that Arabs are the OG colonizers… This doesn’t take away from the fact that what’s happening to Palestine right now is wrong. But don’t forget history when constructing the way you deal with certain groups.

god I love Rebecca so much

Ever since you put me on Zaid Tabani, I've been watching him regularly. It's nice to see him on a panel!
-
This video is biased towards the Palestinians. They’re literally not the only ones going through war right now. And the only person on this panel to have brought up Africans was Anansi with the DRC.
Why isn’t Zaid also mentioning the current mistreatment of Afro Palestinians? They literally lived in a town called “slave” but you don’t hear from them? -
Jesus Christ, I was not expecting this convo to be so cathartic. We need more of this. I’m originally from Trinidad and live in NY, and move back and forth. Even though I’d say 99% of the people here are pro-Palestine because they see it through the lens of colonization and oppression, it kinda only goes as far as lip service and and from what I’ve seen, the corporations that are most closely tied to Israel like Starbucks etc are making just as much money as they always have and it’s really frustrating.
-
Don't mix things up guys, colonialism cause racism in Western societies. And the Gaza conflict is not racial, is religious.

Black is beautiful

Thanks!

I’m a 60 Black male from Pittsburgh Pa. Olay I’m ridding with you always, keep doing what you do for us. Period point blank

"how is the way that you're showing up supporting the sustenance of life?"
-
I love these because the people here are being honest and real but also disagree. I am not as plugged into activism/organizing in California or New York but its interesting to hear different perspectives. I agree with a lot of the stuff said here and I know you noted that this came out before the end of the DNC. That DNC speech Kamala gave washed away any illusions that the average person can change the Democratic Party structure to end the ongoing genocide. I only see youtube stuff and don't have other social media (I just use facebook for messaging mostly) so I don't have "the discourse" thing that everyone keeps talking about, but I know that anytime I hear a person from the party talk, its only about domestic issues.
They won't guarantee an federal legislative abortion protection (they had 50 years to do that and the sitting president has stopped efforts to do that several times as a senator), they won't promise card check for unions to make union membership density increases over the next couple years. Everyone says NLRB appointment which is true, but the NLRB makes decisions that can be overturned by courts making them impermanent.
Also the sitting president is a Democrat. Their administration is actively committing to this genocide, so its interesting Kamala in a way having to run against the rump presidency of her predecessor but adopting all of the nationalism and American supremacy of the Republican party of my childhood in 2001. We are doing border walls and lock'em up, and do not come. Cop budgets are bigger than they ever have in most of our urban centers, the military budget is the governments budget. The Democratic Party that I had served for 4 years is now openly embracing the "beans and bricks at home (kinda but not really), bullets and bombs abroad" that Pres. Johnson tried to thread that just doesn't work. We did this and it just didn't work.
I am trying to maintain hope that "we can push the party left", but it reminds me what a friend said about the Labor Party when I was talking to her. "The party was made so that politicians would serve the working class, now it just feels like the working class serves the politicians." -
the end of the video reminds me of when Beyonce endorsed Beto O'Rourke in Texas when he ran against Theodore Cruz for senate.

REBECCA!! 🫶🏾
-
I'm trying to understand the beef… Are the Palestinian and adjacent communities being too petulant because the ongoing genocide? Why they can't just have a moment of joy? It's it people like Warriors in the Garden, Marc Lamont Hill, Nina Turner, BLM, CEIA, Claudia and Karina, etc that are crushing the vibes. Kamala will join Gen Austin, Linda Thomas-Greenfield, Karine Jean-Pierre and other progressive left wing sister and brothers that are bringing progress and peace to the world.
-
Black American might have to hold this L. While we are not colonizers or genocider we do live under that flag. A flag that actively targets us, but with different weapons of oppression.
Holding a L is nothing more than learning a lesson and a humbling experience. We can’t and shouldn’t move like so many “well intentioned” white have and center our discomfort in someone else’s struggle.
This is a small lower case L for all the reasons the panel illustrated $.02 USD -
I think the other issue is a lot of the hate is being lobed at the pro-palestinian protestors being to agro, but I have had some equally aggressive and dismissive comments from pro-kamala/ coconut-pilled people.
-
I love my community! the queer’s gone turn black women up everytime ! 😂🔥💐
-
As a African I never supported Palestine and I got a lot of heat for it and now look at everyone going against them! They was always racist, look at all the problem in Africa with the Arabs … Google how they treat Africans in the Middle East.
-
gen zer here! i’m so grateful for you and your channel. i am learning soooo much. i know this work is tiring and emotionally laborious but i really appreciate it!
-
Thank you so much for this conversation, and for the ones in recent weeks as well. Truly some of the most thought-provoking and insightful discourse online period, full stop.❤
-
Maybe I should wait to feel this, but I just don't like how Kamala is a neo-lib warhawk. I know she's infinitely better than Trump, and I will be voting for her. I'm just scared about how excited everyone is about a candidate that wants our military to be the most lethal in the world.
-
Gate keeping and identitiy politics are only making it more difficult to build a coalition on the left. Class solidarity is the best way to build a politically active coalition and keep the conservatives from power

The truth in jest…

oh i LOOOVEEE the fact that you brought zaid to this discussion! Its not often that we get to hear the arab perspective and hearing it alongside the black community perspective is genuinely SO eye opening! thank you so much olay for what you do!!
-
I really want to listen to this discussion, but it's a sincere struggle to listen to Jamal Taylor. His essentialization of black women feels like it's begging for a stage. If he must, does he have to call so much attention to himself, just about every single time?
-
I truly believe that Kamala is going to enact similar policies as 2016-Trump. Her rhetoric at the DNC, the rhetoric of the DNC in general, is teetering strangely towards MAGA territory. "Ensure that America has the most lethal fighting force" or "Let us not just believe in the American dream. Let us be worthy of it." feels like the same shit, different package. I'm tired of the carrot-and-stick routine that lets the two-party system have us wrapped around their finger. We are not going to find salvation within the system that perpetuates the problem in the first place. We keep on participating in these systems and then somehow act suprised when the status-quo remains or gets even worse. That being said, even though I'm never voting Democrat in its current form ever again, I sincerely believe in the right for people being entitled to their own vote and not being fed the rhetoric that they "owe" their vote to somebody else.

Olay you’ve taught me more than 4 years + 50 something profs at the University of Michigan managed to. Social media is depressing/rage-inducing and inconducive to keeping things in perspective or having respect for one another. I’m very, very grateful though❤️Stay strong and get all the rest you need ❤️
-
olay's last line, so funny, so true.
-
This was hard to watch
-
I don't question her blackness, I question her intentions and record. It's not good. She favors power not the people. I'm voting with my conscience.

Gandhi died in 1948. How could he have possibly thrown MLK under the bus? Whatever disagreements you would have with Gandhi. And there are many, I feel like it’s impossible to take someone’s critiques on topics seriously when they have to lie about historical topics to make a point about what they are discussing.

ok, i know this is like 10 days later but I cant get out of my head dr's use of the word 'pornographic' 😬

Just started this, but Dr. T Anansi Wilson came in strong with the bars

The Muslim and Arab need to address the anti-Blackness in their communities.

The ancestor comment is interesting, because I feel that, but we also have to acknowledge the ways on which our ancestors are constantly resurrected as conservative and moderate voice pieces, far more than to police liberals or fellow leftists. Part of white supremacy's effecacy has always been the stealing away of our radical inheritance.
Also not loving the shade for afro-pessimism from Dr. Williams. You can disagree with their political frameworks, but to assume you have nothing to learn from the way they move is also egotistical. Sometimes it feels folks have abundant grace and eagerness to build coalition with those to the right of them, but never those to the left. The folks who would certainly have your back when the moderates turn on you. I think this discussion could have benefited from the voice of a black anarchist who engages in mutual aid AND disruption.
-
I have no faith in changing the system, but I do believe we can create different worlds worth believing in. I may not move like the folks in this video, but I still learn something from them, even if it's just our respective limitations. Thank you Olay for always having discussions that move us all forward our work, whatever that may be.
