#Jan6 is a deep undercurrent in American society, that has always felt that the participation of #nonwhite people, and particularly #BlackPeople, was somehow contradictory, somehow not consistent with the idea of who this #democracy is supposed to be for and about. Our #SupremeCourt basically said that #AfricanAmericans can never be citizens because of their #enslavability-#Crenshaw

‘Air’: Michael Jordan’s Silence Speaks Volumes About the Marketing of Black Athletes
Why does a film give Michael Jordan, the man who had so much to do with Nike’s success, so little to say? It is because the NBA legend isn’t the film’s subject, but its object.

* Spaces in hashtags don't work ( #AfricanAmericans instead of #african americans)
*CamelCase makes the hashtags easier to read, especially for screen readers used by blind folks
* you can subscribe to hashtags and have them in your home feed
* the most effective way of getting engagement is when your (interesting) toot gets boosted (especially by somebody nice with a legion of followers like @Jaden2 )
* you can boost also your own toots, useful for really important stuff, as in Mastodon everything is chronologic: older toots won't be seen easily
