No matter your politics, it’s historically inaccurate to call reparations a handout when it’s a debt owed

When Black people built thriving communities White people destroyed them. That’s American history whether you like it or not
You’re literally arguing by yourself and want some attention. Go find something better to do with your day 😂😂

➡️ I had never seen my dad look at me in awe as much as he did during that trip. It was an unspoken moment of pride and joy to see me just show up, whole and authentically me! As much as I sing and share #DirtyLaundry I also share what it looks and feels like to #Heal (pt3)
➡️ I encourage anyone who takes the time to read this, hold on. #TheJourneyContinues while you’re on the journey, continue to Be Radical! Be Daring! Be…. YOU! 🩵 (pt4)

Black folks know this, but I need everyone else to understand it too.
The term ‘woke’ came from the Black community. It was about being informed, educated, and conscious of social injustice and racial inequality.
Fast forward to now: it’s been hijacked by the right and used as a weapon and slur against us. That’s why I’ve left the word behind.

NO. "Woke" is a term Black folks were using to stay aware of racial and social issues going on. YOU clowns hijacked that word and bastardized it for your own culture war bullshit. There is no ideology with "woke". If anything, it's an ideology that you fabricated to scare people
To me, “woke” is indicative of any ideology that sacrifices logic, reason, rational thought, wisdom, knowledge, history, and facts on the altar of socio-political agendas. For example, when we as a society start to rationalize the idea that biological sex is somehow a subjective cultural construct, and not a scientific fact, we are doing ourselves a great injustice. The inability for many people to define what a woman is means that we are collectively losing our grasp on reality.
We cannot start redefining words and their meanings simply to make a small portion of the population feel more validated in their subjective experience. We can, and should, love them and want the very best for their lives. They should have the freedom to live their adult lives however they see fit, so long as it’s not infringing on the rights of others. But that should never include turning our backs on objective truth to do so. We can both love and support them, AND hold firm to what we know is fact. These concepts are not mutually exclusive. 🙏
