If it requires you to compromise your character and values, it’s not from God.

Exactly, this country does not have a justice system.

The United States courts have just openly shown that “self-defense” is whatever white people says it is at the time The laws shift depending on whatever upholds the system of white supremacy

America does not have a justice system.

Back in the day, Black queens rocked their crowns. We need to revive those old days when self-love was a top priority. ✨

ur whole life can be altered just by associating with someone. so yes. be selective.

the older i get the more i realize how pointless it is to tell people my business

I barely even followed the Karmelo Anthony trial cause I already knew what the verdict would be from the start. Didn't even bother with it.

Incredible! Every African leader needs to emulate Zambia on this.

I knew Karmelo Anthony was going to be found guilty. That was decided before he even reached the courthouse tbh.

The Karmelo Anthony verdict shows that the justice system has reverted back to the Jim Crow South era. It is no longer about evidence. It is no longer about right or wrong. It is about keeping racial score through the prosecution and imprisonment of Black people. It was no surprise that an all white jury would find a 19 year old kid, who was bullied and harassed by two 6’1” bullies, guilty of murder while he was minding his business. We have seen this story before. A young Black man is put on trial, and somehow the burden shifts from what happened to him, to why he should not have defended himself. The facts become secondary. The optics become everything. The outcome feels predetermined long before the verdict is read. People will tell you not to make it about race. But race has always been part of the story in America. The hard truth is that many Black people no longer believe they will receive the benefit of the doubt when their freedom is on the line. And verdicts like this are exactly why. At some point, we have to stop pretending that everyone is playing by the same set of rules. Because the people watching this case saw something very different than what that jury claimed to see.

On 29 July 1987, Thomas Sankara addressed the Organisation of African Unity summit in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia and warned that if his fellow African leaders did not stand with him, he might not be there the following year. Less than three months later, he was assassinated. In his speech entitled A United Front Against Debt, Sankara was trying to convince other African heads of state to refuse to pay their foreign debts collectively. He argued that if Burkina Faso stood up to the West alone, he would not survive the backlash. He famously concluded that segment by saying, "If Burkina Faso stands alone in refusing to pay the debt, I will not be here at the next summit. On the other hand, if with everyone's support we decide not to pay, we will be able to use our resources for our own development." While Sankara routinely spoke out against the paralysing nature of Western aid, coining the famous maxim, "He who feeds you, controls you", at this specific 1987 OAU summit, he focused heavily on how foreign debt was a modern tool of conquest. Sankara viewed debt as a moral and historical scam and argued that the lenders were the same former colonisers who had merely swapped their military uniforms for suits, transforming themselves from colonial rulers into "technical assistants", or, as he bluntly called them, "technical assassins". To Sankara, debt was a "cleverly managed reconquest" designed to make African nations financial slaves, ensuring their growth and development were permanently dictated by foreign rules. He argued that Africa owed nothing. Instead, he asserted the West owed Africa a massive debt that could never be repaid, a debt of blood that was shed during slavery, colonialism, and World War II, where African soldiers died to liberate Europe from Nazism. He famously noted that if a poor man steals, it is a crime of survival, but when the rich steal through financial systems and exploitation, it is called policy. He argued: "The debt cannot be repaid, first because if we don't repay, lenders will not die. That is for sure. But if we repay, we are going to die. That is also for sure." Before the OAU speech, Sankara had been vocal about how in his country, foreign aid, especially food aid, undermined self-sufficiency and dismantled local economies. He contended that such assistance, far from solving structural problems, reinforced a logic of economic and cultural subordination vis-à-vis donors. In the end, Sankara said all he could, but tragically, his peers did not join him; many sat in uncomfortable silence or offered polite applause. Just less than three months later, on 15 October 1987, he was assassinated in a coup led by his close associate, Blaise Compaoré, with Western backing.

The Tulsa Race Massacre was the destruction of a thriving Black economic system, carried out in less than 24 hours and buried in silence for generations.

Racism is a sign of low intelligence.
