cheat code

This will work, I used to be a recruiter. Recruiters don’t got time to read every single resume they see, they look for keywords, find what they want, Call and do a preliminary interview. That’s it lol

Music Spotlight: Armani White

Armani White is back with Keep in Touch, his new LP inspired by his father’s death. He took a break from making music after his father passed away of cancer a few years ago but the creative process for this album began at his father’s funeral. They encouraged him not to mourn the death, but to celebrate life so he wanted this project to be a celebration of his life and story. Check out what he had to say!

Tell us about Keep in Touch and what you hope people take away from it. 

Keep in Touch is a story based on the timeline of my father. I was fully inspired to do it after his funeral when the pastor insisted that we didn’t mourn his death but, instead, celebrate life! The timeline of my father’s story begins in a 1994 Jeep Cherokee, bought with settlement money from a case against the city of Philadelphia. Inside the jeep was Lee Tolbert aka Touché, a member of the Philly Gang “Junior Black Mafia” or JBM for short. The project follows Lee through the many narratives that built him up, yet scraped away and made him human. The fearlessness that drove him and his friend Trevor to attack the rival gang who stole his Jeep from him. The pure emotions that constructed a love life between him and Trevor’s younger sister. The kid they had together that taught him how precious life really is; and the fear of his own power to ruin all of those things while trying to protect them.

Craziest thing that’s happened while on the road?

This one show we played in some bar in the middle of nowhere. Our green room was some really small room next to the fire escape and the people in the crowd could see me from the front. These two girls walked on stage, pushed the opener out the way and chased me into the bathroom. I was hiding in the stall…hahaha. I also broke my tooth in DC on tour with Vince Staples, I’m not sure if that was crazy or just inconvenient!

Who impacts your creative process? Has this process changed for you since your previous work?

This was heavily impacted by my father obviously but it’s either people I know very well or people I don’t know at all. With writing for me, I have to go out in the world, experience as many things as possible and bring all of those things back to my desk to make the music as realistic as possible.

Dream collaboration(s)?

Tyler, the Creator, Childish Gambino, E-40 and T-Pain

In your opinion, what’s the most interesting thing about you that people may not know?

I don’t know how it happened, but I found out I’m allergic to chicken which is just awful…lol

If there was one thing you could change about the music industry today,  what would it be?

The amount of honesty, transparency and vulnerability.

Lighting round! Describe each of the following in one word: Who you are, what you value the most, and what you’d be if you were a food item.

  • Time
  • Tostoneeeeeee

Be grateful that today is another day passed that traumatic incident you’re getting over. You made it. Be glad that the initial shock is finally behind you. A few days from now you’ll look back and be surprised that you even let it get you down ✨

American Terrorism… Lynching Postcards

Terrorism is defined as “the use of violence and intimidation in the pursuit of political aims.” Western media likes to paint terrorists with a brown face, but one of the most horrific campaigns of terror happened in the past century on American soil – the estimated 3,436 lynchings of black American men and women between 1882 and 1950, intended to control and intimidate the recently freed black population. There is nothing more disturbing than being confronted with visual evidence of humanity’s dark heart, especially when it is evidence of a widespread, mainstream hatred for and violence towards one another. Hatred that stems from fear, and is driven by religion and a belief that murder is morality made distorted flesh; violence that aims to cow and suppress any aspirations a community might have for equality and a brighter future.

When I came across this collection of American postcards from James Allen and John Littlefield, published in a book entitled Without Sanctuary, I saw how important it is to look at these images, today more than ever. These postcards were made to commemorate events that made many American white people feel proud – of their race, of their superiority, of their civilization and their intelligence. They took photos of their disgusting, cowardly accomplishments and memorialized them for future generations, to be found and collected and remembered by their descendents. On the backs, they wrote to friends and family in sociopathic excitement about the mob the participated in. These postcards capture the mobs witnessing with glee the murder of young men and women, whose most serious crime was the color of their skin. The corpses hanging and charred in these postcards lived in a world that counted down the days until their murder from the second they drew air into their infant lungs. This history is potent, stomach-churning and of essential importance to the America of today, and to the world of today. And the most striking thing about these photographs is that they don’t erase the perpetrators like many histories and memorials do today, preferring to focus on who was victimized rather than on those who proudly – and with government backing – tortured, raped and murdered people. The murderers in these photos stand proud, grown men looking at the camera with the smiling conviction that the teenage boy they just killed, one against a hundred, was deserving of their hatred, fear and frustration. No grand jury needed; the law was in the hands of the murderers.

History is not linear; history is happening all around us, all the time. These photos are context, they are reality, they are pictures of American terrorism. Read James Allen’s commentary below and be aware that these photos are sickening, and all too real.

Africans in America mounted resistance to white people lynchings in numerous ways. Intellectuals and journalists encouraged public education, actively protesting and lobbying against lynch mob violence and government complicity in that violence. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), as well as numerous other organizations, organized support from white and black Americans alike and conducted a national campaign to get a federal anti-lynching law passed. African American women’s clubs raised funds to support the work of public campaigns, including anti-lynching plays. Their petition drives, letter campaigns, meetings and demonstrations helped to highlight the issues and combat lynching.[4] In the Great Migration, extending in two waves from 1910 to 1970, 6.5 million African Americans left the South, primarily for destinations in northern and mid-western cities, both to gain better jobs and education and to escape the high rate of violence.

From 1882 to 1968, “…nearly 200 anti-lynching bills were introduced in Congress, and three passed the House. Seven presidents between 1890 and 1952 petitioned Congress to pass a federal law.”[5] In 1920 theRepublican Party promised at its national convention to support passage of such a law. In 1921 Leonidas C. Dyer from Saint Louissponsored an anti-lynching bill; it was passed in January 1922 in the United States House of Representatives, but a Senate filibuster by the Southern white Democratic block defeated it in December 1922. With the NAACP, Representative Dyer spoke across the country in support of his bill in 1923 and tried to gain passage that year and the next, but was defeated by the Southern Democratic block.

DO NOT BE SCARED TO REBLOG THIS. WHETHER YOU OR YOUR FOLLOWERS WANT TO SEE THIS OR NOT, IT NEEDS TO BE SEEN.

Oh my fucking god. This was a fucking hundred years ago. These were your grandparents parents.

POSTCARDS?!?

White people were the first terrorist…

Never forget.

White people own your history

Reblogging twice because I wish somebody would tell me something.

Mind you, they have not changed and I will keep these photos to teach my younger brother about the tragedies commited, but remember that these terrorists still exist and are teaching their kids to be terrorists, they.have.not.changed.

times haven’t changed. please don’t fall into that train of thought people. Whether its conscious or subconscious white terrorism is still being taught today.

Ok there is a difference between white people and the ones who were responsible for this. I am white but I just immigrated to America, this is not my history. So don’t generalize white people please.

^ shut the fuck up!

@overlord-swift sweetheart, you really wanna gloss over the fact that no white European descendant is innocent in the atrocities inflicted upon black people worldwide? Ignorance DOES NOT equal innocence.
