I’m around, downloading my data, with is quite extensive, considering I’ve been on this platform for 19 years, in one way or another. It’s been 10 years since Ferguson somma y’all started following me then.
I existed as a voice predating Ferguson, Facebook, Instagram, Youtube and even MySpace. Even social media, hello? I created platforms so I could post my opinions and commentary. And no, I didn’t change up or post for clicks and likes (that didn’t even exist back then) and I didn’t switch up for monetization. My struggle isn’t compatible with monetization or algorithms. Not a diss, I’m just in these spaces for a completely diff reason…. I’m looking for my tribe, people that not only understand why we need our own media, social media and tech BUT are building and sacrificing to make it happen, so we’re leaving a necessity for those coming behind us that those that came before us didn’t leave for us.
Finally, lemme explain what AltBlackNews is for dummies because a lotta y’all don’t get it. And you don’t support what you don’t get. And you don’t get it because you refuse to think outside the box. And as problack or B1 as you pretend to be, you’re not. You’re not fighting the Dem Party, you’re no building independent of the Dem Party/NPIC and you don’t $upport those of us that are… but you’ll support everything else from billboards to yet another conference and even museums”. And where has that gotten us? Still needing to build the same systems and institutions I’ve been advocating and building the last 20+ years.
This is not Field of Dreams, if you build it they won’t come. They will stay and bitch and moan on these digital plantations. Rage post. Oh and troll white people.
You can’t have what you don’t support, this is whacha coulda had, I’m taking my marbles and moving on to find my tribe. It’s not here on Facebook.
To my supporters I’ll be in touch. To the rest you’ll figure it out, or you won’t. I don’t do this for clicks and likes, I’m good with people that either don’t get it or do but is looking at everybody else to make the sacrifice staying here. What the lack of support shows me is that I can do it without you… and will continue to do so. ✌🏾Deuces!
