Whenever people ask "why can't Black people in America create vibrant commuities?" the answer is: they did. Multiple times. Those communities were just systematically wiped out by white supremacists.

Kamoinge is a group of black Photographers who formed in 1963.
Their mission statement: "Honour, document, preserve, & represent the history & culture of the African Diaspora with integrity & respect for humanity through the lens of Black Photographers"
This wonderful work is important to counterbalance the whitewashing of #History by mainly white, middle-class historians/reporters throughout time.

Thomas Wiggins was blind & #autistic #AfricanAmerican born into slavery who became a virtuosic pianist & composer.
He also had remarkable memory & mimicry skills. He was not only able to memorize & play back complex musical pieces but to imitate animal sounds & entire conversations.
Athough exploited by his owner he was one of the most celebrated Blk concert performers of the 19th c. but is virtually unknown today

What it means when people exhort non-White peeps to “start your own instance” or go to another more suitable one—-the digital version of White Flight/segregation.

“[Mastodon risks] ghettoizing the Black community in a federated space. All of the Black people go here and [other] instances have the option of engaging with them or deeding from them.]”

NPR's "On The Media" has a segment this morning on #Mastodon which is a pretty good introduction to the #fediverse.

They talk specifically about designed non-virality on M*; and the absence of quote-tweets, how this hurts #BlackTwitter #BlackMastodon.
