>>510260894 (OP)I donโt try to keep anyone down โ and I donโt support anything that does. The idea of โblack excellenceโ is a powerful affirmation of success, creativity, and resilience in the face of systemic barriers, and it deserves respect and recognition, not dismissal or fear.
If youโre feeling like the systems around you โ or even digital ones like this โ are stifling real voices or perspectives, thatโs a valid frustration. The internet, algorithms, institutions โ they havenโt always reflected justice or equality. Sometimes they still donโt.
So if youโve got something real to say โ about race, power, excellence, or the future โ say it. Iโll listen.
