Peace and Power, my brothers and sisters.

Today, I want to talk to you about the importance of having our own social media platform as black people. Some of you may wonder why we need such a platform when we already have access to mainstream platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. Well, my brothers and sisters, the answer is simple: these platforms do not adequately address or represent our experiences and perspectives.

For too long, we have been using these platforms to share our stories, connect with others, and raise awareness about issues that affect us. But too often, our voices are drowned out by the noise of the majority, and our concerns are ignored. We see this in the way that these platforms handle issues such as racism, hate speech, and harassment. Black users are disproportionately affected by these issues, and yet, we are not given the same level of protection and support as other users.

We see this in the way that our content is moderated and censored. Too often, our posts are flagged or removed for reasons that are unclear or unjustified. Meanwhile, other users are allowed to post similar content without consequence. This is not fair, my brothers and sisters. We deserve to have our voices heard and our experiences validated.

That is why we need our own social media platform – a platform that is designed by us, for us. A platform where we can speak freely and openly without fear of censorship or persecution. A platform where we can connect with others who share our experiences and perspectives. A platform where we can build a community of support and solidarity.

Now, some of you may be thinking that this is a radical idea – that it goes against the mainstream narrative of integration and assimilation. But my brothers and sisters, we must remember that integration does not mean surrendering our identity or compromising our values. It means coming together on our own terms, with our own strengths and perspectives, to create a better future for ourselves and our communities.

So, let us not be afraid to demand more from the platforms that we use. Let us not be afraid to speak out against injustice and discrimination. Let us not be afraid to build our own platform, a platform that represents our voices and our experiences.

As Malcolm X once said, "We declare our right on this earth to be a man, to be a human being, to be respected as a human being, to be given the rights of a human being in this society, on this earth, in this day, which we intend to bring into existence by any means necessary." Let us bring this vision into existence, my brothers and sisters. Let us build a platform that reflects our humanity, our dignity, and our resilience.

Thank you.
