As a #Black#vegan, I consider drinking the #milk of our fellow animals to be just as bad, if not worse, as eating their flesh, from both health and ethical perspectives.
If you're interested in eliminating #dairy products from your diet, check out the Afro-Vegan Society's "Dump Dairy" resource library:
The editor of the newspaper he founded 31 years ago that serves Montreal's English-speaking Black and #Caribbean populations was a hands-on newspaperman who delivered the twice-a-month paper along with his son.
He was an active promoter of #CommunityJournalism and dedicated to those he served. #RIP
Poster for the encuentro Zapantera Negra between the #Zapatistas and members of the #Black#Panther Party in #Chiapas in November 2012. Still one of the best I've seen.
I wasn't there myself, but I did co-host an event in the Mission a few months later with Emory Douglas, former Minister of Culture for the Black Panther Party and the Chiapas Support Committee.
Hach! 😙 Scheppernde, schmerzhaft-spröde #Black#Metal Rohheit, standesgemäß aufgenommen und nicht-produziert in einem rostigen Müllcontainer. Überschlagende, hysterische, an den Ganglien schabende Wut und Verzweifelung. Zähnefletschender Emotionssturm, der am Stahlbeton zerbricht und dennoch immer wieder, wieder, wieder dagegenschlägt. Und vergraben darin zu Tränen rührende Schönheit. Gitarrenwellen und Synthtupfer und Schreie, die das Herz bersten lassen 🖤 ->

Thin-veiled #racism under the guise of "urban renewal" destroyed a once-vibrant #Black community and economic center... then-called "Black Bottom" (named by early French colonial settlers for the dark, fertile topsoil found in the area).
The City of #Detroit had published a very insightful video on the history of Black Bottom, which I would highly recommend to be watched in its entirety... but its destruction starts here: https://youtu.be/iSVgOCiT93Y?t=1044
You wanna know how palpable the tension is here just being #Black vs how you felt on #twitter?
And this is if you are Black and use this word-- how often you say "nigga" on this app?
Did you use it on twitter? Because I know I did with no feelings of weirdness whatsoever. On here I be 👀
And I am someone who generally does not self police my speech, yet I internally feel that "maybe that's too much on this app." Yet it's a regular part of my everyday language.
