What, why not? She's been highlighting very important books and authors. It's been encouraging her followers to learn more about the idea she's been preaching.

It's a fantastic idea.
Book club is just a book club

It's not activism

Disagree entirely. That's like saying the black panthers breakfast program was just a breakfast program.

it would be different if they were reading new york time best sellers, but they're not.

Blood In My Eye was completed only days before it's author was killed. George Jackson died on August 21, 1971 at the hands of San Quentin prison guards during an alleged escape attempt. At eighteen, George Jackson was convicted of stealing seventy dollars from a gas station and was sentenced from one year to life. He was to spent the rest of his life -- eleven years-- in the California prison system, seven in solidary confinement. In prison he read widely and transformed himself into an activist and political theoretician who defined himself as a revolutionary.

If you don't think encouraging thousands of young black people to learn about this will change minds or inspire, then sure, it's just a book club. But she's picking books and following them up with discussions and highlighting real world ties.

This man protested in Ferguson, dropped what accounts to TWO full length “Black Lives Matter” themed albums, dropped a full “BLM” themed documentary and Noname wanted to call out him and Kendrick??

That might be amongst the DUMBEST shyt i’ve ever heard. She deserved to be called out for that shyt and Cole didn’t even diss her. Its clear that people either don’t listen to lyrics or are just looking for “scandal” because his response was about as intellectual a “diss” i’ve ever fukking heard
