I’m with Niki Williams of Consenys and @theroot is here at the Congressional Black Caucus conference where she’s helping black understand crypto-currency. Listen to her explain why our people need to be plugged in. #CBCFALC18 @CBCFInc
.@TheRoot is at #CBCFALC18 sitting in on the Blockchain workshop, where attendees are learning about crypto currency. Folks are going though exercises on how it functions and how economic markets operate in relationship to it. @CBCFInc
.@TheRoot spoke with Karima Williams, DC lead of Consensys, about why black people need to understand the politics of Blockchain and why #CBCFALC18 is the place to educate people.

I wanna share my thoughts about believing women who claim they've been sexually assaulted. I normally tend to listen in on these convos and never comment publicly, but I feel my thoughts will be helpful to folks. Namely, black men, especially, need to do better on this subject.
I'll start off by saying that I have learned so much by listening to women share their stories of assault and had no idea how abusive men are. That ignorance shows how being a man can inoculate us from the harm women face everyday. That, in itself, is troubling.
As a man, I really have not had to consider dangers to my body in remotely the same way a woman has to on a daily basis. I also admit that, for a long time, I was pretty ignorant of the workplace and casual abuse women deal with. #MeToo has been an education.

I just finished a weight workout and am headed to my heated yoga class (second night in a row!). Gave myself an hour of rest and will walk to class. Taking care of my body.
Let’s go, baby!
Just finished my hot yoga session for my second night in a row! I’m addicted. I’m gonna be at this studio at least 4-5 times a week in addition to my weightlifting regime. Gonna shower, eat and write for a few hours before going to sleep. #creativestakingcareofthierbodies

My verdict on the Cynthia Nixon vs Andrew Cuomo #NYGovDebate: Nixon kicked Cuomo’s ass. It wasn’t even close. If this was a 12-round fight, I’d struggle to give Cuomo a round.
Cuomo came across as condescending and dismissive, something that doesn’t make him look well on TV at all. You can tell his last debate was in 2006.
If I am a black Cuomo supporter, I’d seriously reconsider my support. I’ll write more about this tomorrow, but Cuomo did little Wednesday to justify the black support he has so far.

I’m at Hofstra University covering the #NYGovdebate debate and see nothing but Andrew Cuomo supporters from various local unions at the entrance and his signs everywhere. No sight of Cynthia Nixon’s campaign literature anywhere. Hopefully, Nixon’s performance will fill the void.
I can’t speak for the rest of the state, but it’s hard to find any Cynthia Nixon campaign literature here in New York City. And Cuomo isn’t really campaigning hard because he thinks he has the nomination in the bag. (He’s leading by 30 points)
Nixon doesn’t have the cash to do serious voter outreach like Andrew Gillum or Stacey Abrams, for example. Both won their nominations due to attracting new voters. You need money to do that. Lots of it. Nixon never had it to do the kind of outreach she needed to do.

John McCain literally picked Sarah Palin, a woman who said "It's time to take our country back." It was clearly designed to attack Obama's blackness and perceived "unAmericaness." And McCain knew it. He was willing to use racism to win the White House. npr.org/2016/01/23/464…
John McCain opened the floodgates for Americans to be open about their racism. He didn't directly lead the charge. Instead, Sarah Palin was his White Supremacy proxy. If John McCain loved America, he would not tolerated Palin's xenophobia. But he did. Because he wanted to win.
And if John McCain is so believed by the GOP, why did the Republican leadership allow Donald Trump to disrespect him so much? Yet you want to come after me? Get the fuck out of my mentions and attack the GOP for letting Trump piss over McCain's soon-to-be grave.

I'll add to this by saying saying that John McCain was a politician, not a deity. Bringing up his harmful policies is not the same as spitting on his grave. McCain may not have been a Trump Republican but he was still a Republican.
We are asked not to have partisan takes of John McCain but he was, in fact, a partisan politician. Why can't we accept that he was not really the Maverick we want to remember him as? He voted with his party the vast majority of the time. fivethirtyeight.com/features/is-jo…
John McCain said racist things. Why can't we discuss that? I know why? Because for those who want the perfect obituary, his harm doesn't impact you. teenvogue.com/story/5-proble…
