Thank you @robynbirdfly for amplify this! Black #BeverlyHills HS students claim experiencing #racism in #school surrounding election week. #Black #Students said they've been called racial slurs and seen #racist graffiti in school bathrooms in recent weeks. Since the election trump supporters feel somewhat emboldened.

I voted NO for a third time on the Nonprofit Killer HR. 9495. This bill could shut down nonprofits without due process, silencing groups like ACLU, NAACP, and Planned Parenthood. It's an assault on civil liberties and democracy. We must protect free speech & our right to dissent.

I dare someone call Reggie Jackson a victim and tell him to get over it. He lived it. He conquered it. The indelible scars of racism in the Jim Crow south for Blacks in baseball remain.

If you want to know why Black people don’t vote for Republicans, just look at the Black Republicans. From Tim Scott to Byron Donalds, today’s Black Republicans insult our intelligence and cater to the biases of white voters. Check out my new column here: wordinblack.com/2024/06/why-…

Reparations gained historic momentum in 2023 because of California’s efforts.
For the Golden State, what's next will be tough: turning all the recommendations from its statewide task force into policies — and convincing voters to pay for it all. nbcnews.com/news/nbcblk/repa…

One of the reasons they are banning antiracist history books is because they don’t want people to learn how they constructed racism. Because the more we learn how they constructed racism, the more we learn how to deconstruct it and build equitable and just and democratic societies for all people. The more we build equitable and just and democratic societies, the more people of color resist their racist efforts to take us back and the more White people join in that antiracist resistance because they realize equitable and just and democratic societies benefit them more than a deeply unequal society ruled by fear-mongering fascists and tyrants spreading bigotry of all kinds to divide and conquer us.
This is why “Knowledge is Power” and why these nuts are trying to destroy CRT. When you KNOW and UNDERSTAND your history it’s a game changer.

A white apartment manager in Greensboro, NC, shockingly hit and poured soda on two Black adolescents using the complex’s pool. She has been arrested on two counts of simple assault — now she must be fully held accountable for her attack on these kids!

If you understand the history of Montgomery -- one of the most prolific slave-trading cities in the US turned brutally repressive apartheid regime after, and majority Black but JUST got its first Black mayor -- it gives so much more perspective to this video. Trust.

There is no round table, no lecture, no invitation we will accept to debate an undeniable fact: There were no redeeming qualities of slavery.

Not one of the GOP presidential candidates can figure out how to run against a guy who is on trial for:
(a) rape charge
(b) paying a porn star hush money
(c) violating the Espionage Act
(d) conspiracy to overturn the results of an election

Today James Baldwin would have turned 99 ❤️
His answer to the question, “Why must you always concentrate on color?” is the best answer I’ve ever heard. Must watch.

My favorite story of the Women’s World Cup is these women succeeding in spite of the lack of resources they have. Their country needs to get behind them financially. The success of women in sports is often undermined by lack of investment.
