450. Da'Vinchi is arrogant & ignorant, but the rest of us don't have to be (and Trump hates us all)
Sunday, 4 October, 2026

I didn’t watch the entire interview with #davinchi and @cam but what I saw was problematic enough. What’s also problematic is how we let debates about issues facing the Black community be led by Black entertainers. No other group does this. We are also doing this while most of us are living through a period of government anti-Blackness that we have never seen before. Ignorance about other Black people is being exposed once again because we haven’t done the real work to build on our global majority that Malcolm, Marcus, and so many others tried to do. It’s really unfortunate. #fba #ados #kanye #lilwayne Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
