“I Love My Black Job”: Simone Biles Seemingly Takes Swipe At Donald Trump After Olympic Triumph

Simone Biles has celebrated her latest Olympic triumph with an apparent swipe at Donald Trump.

The decorated gymnast won her second gold medal at Paris 2024 — and the sixth of her career — in the individual all-around event, cementing her self-embraced status as the GOAT (greatest of all time).

On Friday morning, she reflected on her latest moment of glory with a post on Twitter/X that read: “I love my black job.”

This has not been picked up yet by any other news organization. I will continue to look for it.

A Tale of Two Divestments: South Africa, Sudan, and Howard University (African Studies Review)

Abstract

The anti-apartheid movement and Save Darfur campaign were important moments of African American activism towards Africa. Howard University played a central role by divesting from both South Africa and Sudan. This article examines each divestment within Howard University’s history of engagement with Africa. While each divestment was linked by a concern to support oppressed African peoples, the roles of race and racism operated differently in each action. Such an analytic provides space to reconsider the role of US higher education in African-facing human rights activism during the age of Black Lives Matter.
