The Black on Black Love Movement is a social movement that celebrates and promotes love, unity, and healing within the Black community. It is a response to the systemic racism and oppression that Black people have faced for centuries, which has led to trauma, self-hatred, and violence within the community.

The movement is based on the belief that Black love is the foundation of a strong and thriving Black community. It encourages Black people to love and support each other, to heal from their wounds, and to work together to create a better future for themselves and their children.

The Black on Black Love Movement is manifested in many different ways, including:

Social media campaigns: The movement has a strong presence on social media, where people use hashtags like #BlackLove and #BlackOnBlackLove to share stories, images, and videos of Black love and joy.

Art and culture: Black artists and creators are using their work to promote the Black on Black Love Movement. For example, there are many films, books, and TV shows that celebrate Black love and relationships.

Community events: Organizations and individuals across the country are hosting community events to promote Black love and unity. These events can include things like potlucks, movie nights, and workshops on Black relationships and parenting.

The Black on Black Love Movement is still in its early stages, but it is growing rapidly. It is a powerful and important movement that is helping to heal the Black community and create a better future for Black people everywhere.

Here are some specific examples of the Black on Black Love Movement:

The Black Love Campaign is a non-profit organization that is dedicated to promoting Black love and unity. The organization hosts community events, produces educational materials, and advocates for policies that support Black families and relationships.

The Black Girl Magic movement is a social media campaign that celebrates the beauty, strength, and resilience of Black women. The movement is a reminder of the importance of Black self-love and community.

The Black Boys Joy movement is a social media campaign that highlights the positivity and joy of Black boys and men. The movement is a counter-narrative to the negative stereotypes that are often associated with Black men.

These are just a few examples of the many ways that the Black on Black Love Movement is being manifested. The movement is a powerful and important force for change in the Black community.

“Racists will always call you a racist when you identify their racism. To love yourself now - is a form of racism. We are the only people who are criticized for loving ourselves. and white people think when you love yourself you hate them. No, when I love myself they become irrelevant to me.” ― John Henrik Clarke tags: racism, racists.

The Black History Channel and all of it's affiliates are proud supporters of The Black On Black Love Movement.

Netanyahu being mask off evil and still being supported by the United States government is actually very much expected and should not be surprising for anyone - like this is very much in the cards for the US to support them (and they have for decades) because the US government is also evil. it is important you all understand that

#‘how could the us still support him!’ can you look at how the us has treated black and indigenous people till this day for me please #Palestine #free palestine

It's important to recognise that what's happening in Palestine, what we are witnessing and what people are experiencing, are not isolated to Palestine.

You may hear people talk about the war in Sudan, the silent holocaust in Congo.

It's because these and so many more atrocities in the world are linked. They are preperuated by the same systems.

[Video Transcript:

So as a Palestinian when I say Free Palestine, I am not just talking about Palestine. I started nursing school in 2015 at Saint Louis, just a few miles away from where Michael Brown was killed by police.

Being in that city at that time, watching Black Lives Matter being born, stirred up a lot of feelings for me as a Palestinian.

I saw a country justifying a child being murdered by the state, in the street. I saw the people protesting that murder being vilified.

Standing there, protesting, watching a militarised police force with tear gas and rubber bullets matching towards me.

And I thought, this is that.

As a Palestinian to understand what is going on in Palestine is to understand the de facto aphartied that black Americans experience here in the states.

It's not an accident that when my grandfather came here, he was told to sit and the back of the bus. And it's not an accident that he marched with MLK.

It has been black and Palestinian solidarity, and it continues to be black and Palestinian solidarity.

Because yes, Free Palestine is about Palestine ceasefire now and the military occupation of the Palestinian people. It's also about resisting the global colonial hegemonic structure.

Because the shit happening there is happening here. If it isn't Palestinian women and babies being killed by bombs in Gaza, it's black women and babies being killed in American hospitals.

If its not Palestinian girls missing in the rubble. It is missing and murdered indigenous women here in the United States.

The rage I feel when I hear the names Michael Brown and Treyvon Martin is the same rage I feel when I hear the names Shireen Abu Akleh and Ahmad Manasra.

That's not to say that allyship is transactional, it is to say that the only thing we have is each other.

There's a reason that when people ask me about Free Palestine, I will point them to books on Black Lives matter.

When I say Free Palestine, yes I mean Free Palestine but I also mean Black Lives Matter, I also mean abolition now. I also mean reparations, I also mean land back.

This movement cannot lose steam, not just because there is currently a genocide being perpetuated against my people. And every minute we don't do something Palestinian lives are being lost.

But because this is a global struggle for justice. It does not start and end with Palestine, we will not be free until all of us are free.

The world is waking up, there has never been global solidarity for Palestine like this.

And we have them so scared. The violence is so disproportional because we are challenging a global power structure. Don't let the momentum die because this is about all of us.

Ceasefire now.

End the occupation.

But know what I mean when I say, Free Palestine.

Lupita Nyong’o on Ryan Coogler’s superpower as a director being that he intentionally surrounds himself with both talented and good people, an example being Tenoch. Full interview here.

#ryan has also said in interviews that part of the reason he casted tenoch was in listening to him talk and realizing #that tenoch is just a good person and cares about people and community #like tenoch never auditioned. he was handpicked bc they were looking for someone of indigenous descent nd his work history speaks for itself #ryan coogler #lupita nyong'o #winston duke #bpwf #black panther #bp2 #wakanda forever #press interview #nakia #m'baku #namor #tenoch huerta #tenoch huerta mejia #talokan #k'uk'ulkan

And here we go again with the “I just can’t connect to Black characters 🥺” bs. Y’all don’t like Black ppl so that’s why you don’t like reading about us. No one cares if LegendBorn or Children of Blood and Bone are some of your favs, cuz what exactly is stopping you from finding books similar to them???? And then to say that Black authors should be more like Asian authors while also insinuating that we don’t have our own historical or cultural myths, especially when we exist on multiple continents and islands, is absolutely ludicrous. Not to mention that a statement like that feeds into racism and the fetishization of Asian ppl. Children of color are forced to see nothing but white ppl in every form of media all our lives and not once does not being able to connect to the characters stop us from enjoying that piece of media. You can empathize with dragons, elves, orcs, and witches easily. Anyone darker than dry glue however, needs to prove why you should read our stories and have sympathy for our characters. This is exactly why I don’t trust white readers regardless of if they read diversely or not cuz some of y’all don’t even read the books. You just get them for brownie points or judge them harshly cuz you still don’t see the characters as deserving of empathy.

like that's what always drives me nuts more than anything re: thg movies/online discussions about them. katniss was brown! gale was brown! the poor people of district 12 were brown and indigenous coded while the ppl with a middle class background like peeta and katniss's mom were white and blonde. that context is vital to understanding the story and it's just completely gone in the movies

#gale and katniss hunting together was them trying to reconnect w indigenous practices that had been outlawed #d12 and d11 were racially segregated societiws #rue's district was racially segregated poor black people working for a white upper class and d12 was segregated poor indigenous ppl #katniss as a character cant be separated from her brownness #haymitch as a character changes when u consider he was also indigenous iirc #like this stuff is vital to the context of the story

Ancient Amazonians created mysterious ‘dark earth’ on purpose

Soil study suggests today’s Indigenous Amazonians are making new terra preta

Mysterious patches of fertile black soil pepper the verdant Amazon rainforest. They sit in stark contrast with the reddish, eroded soil that dominates the basin. Researchers have long thought this Amazonian dark earth—or terra preta—was created by pre-Hispanic Indigenous civilizations, which have inhabited the region for millennia, but it wasn’t clear how. Now, a multidisciplinary team of scientists and Indigenous partners suggests the ancient Amazonians intentionally created the rich soil thousands of years ago to better foster their crops, and that their modern-day descendants are still making new terra preta today.

Does anyone have any favorite internet resources on food forest movement stuff? Academic stuff is one thing, but I'm trying to find things that are keyed to the pulse of what people are talking about outside of academia. I know a lot of that gets circulated here in the general solarpunk vibes zone.

part of my frustration that i'm trying to pinpoint here with concrete sources is that there's a middle ground here that has to be found between oblivious optimistic radicalism and like, the actual work it takes to *run* a food forest. I just read Make the Golf Course A Public Sex Forest and some of it is good, some of it is just "wow you have never actually gardened before, have you?"

The resistance organizations like park districts and forest services have to these well-intentioned, poorly-researched efforts stems a lot from the very practical logistics.

Yes, wouldn't it be great if you could eat wild berries from your local park. How the hell are we going to remediate all the lead out of the soil so those berries are safe? Yes, wouldn't it be cool to turn parts of golf courses into community gardens. How the hell are we going to remediate the decades of literal mercury application out of the soil? Those lawns weren't pest-free by default! Yes, wouldn't it be amazing to have a orchards in the city parks? Who is going to do the INTENSE work managing those trees? Picking all the apples? Dealing with the wasps and the mess coating the sidewalks?

There's so much good work that can be done but making the connections between the dreamers and the actual do-ers is overwhelming. Not least because many dreamers just love to talk and don't want to do. Meanwhile, the do-ers are terrified of getting their asses sued because some well-intentioned foragers are ingesting heavy metals.

#to be clear many people *are* doing the work #but that's not always the voices that are pushed to the center spotlight #and not coincidentally they tend to be Indigenous Black and Latinx led efforts that are doing the real remediation work #when its your livelihood not an affectation things tend to change

Even more so if you are doing so for a black or indigenous trans or nonbinary person, tbh. Even more so if they are disabled.

The odds are *very* stacked against marginalised people in academia. The measurable impact of their work being used in teaching as well as research is a big deal.

#cite a black woman #cite a nonbinary person #cite a black nonbinary person #cite a black trans person #cite an indigenous woman #cite a two spirit person #cite an indigenous trans person #cite a disabled person #cite a disabled black woman #cite a disabled two spirit person #cite a disabled nonbinary person #cite a disabled trans person #cite a disabled black trans person #cite an indigenous disabled person #marginalisation #marginalised people in academia

Black Indigenous People have always maintained a deep connection with nature, residing in regions along the equator where the scorching summer sun necessitated semi-nudity if we were to live comfortably.

In our culture, the objectification and violation of women were foreign concepts. We regarded the exposure of bare breasts as a natural occurrence, devoid of any lascivious intent. The decision to enter into a marital union was solely at the discretion of Indigenous Black Women, who chose to unite with a man when she deemed it appropriate.

However, our way of life underwent a profound transformation with the arrival of colonizers, who invaded our lands and subjected our men, women, and children to the horrors of rape. Driven by an insatiable desire for sexual gratification, these invaders violated our people, perpetuating harmful stereotypes that portrayed Black Indigenous women and men as hypersexual and indolent, despite both genders sharing equal responsibilities in our society.

As a Black Indigenous Man, I have personally witnessed the profound impact of the invaders' arrival. Fortunately, I had the privilege of growing up alongside my great grandparents and grandparents, who diligently passed down our ancestral history to me and my eleven siblings.

They often recounted the arduous and perilous journey endured by their own parents, imparting to us a profound understanding of our collective identity. Regrettably, the invaders have distorted and erased much of our Black Indigenous History, leaving us with a profound sense of sadness.

Hiiii!! Please share this. This is a cool video regarding Black Welsh speakers and some of the progress and some of the obstacles that have been happening in the country of Wales in regarding to Black Welsh people. Everyone can be a part of revitalizing a language and in regards to revitalizing indigenous languages (like Welsh) anti-Blackness should have no place in the process. This is something I think no one really talks about and I LOVE this YouTube channel it needs more subscribers for sure!!

Making this un-rebloggable bc I’m tired of coming back to the blue maga discussion but I continue to see that many people have the preconceived notion that White Americans are the default for trans people and it’s really annoying because I’m literally a trans Palestinian but everyone interacting with me just assumes that I have no stake in trans rights at all. Because I am Palestinian

#babe ​I literally got disowned by my father in 2022 sjksks trust me I am well aware of the concept #and I say white Americans because I know full well you are not thinking of black/brown and/or Indigenous people in these statements #who are being harmed not just in occupied turtle island but abroad and yes! in Palestine as well!
