ABSOLUTELY TRUE! Not even warring gangs like the Bloods and Crips, could say NO to Michael Jackson. 80 Gang members showed up for that video shoot. Michael brokered a peace deal between gangs, with MUSIC! Michael was very loved and respected by the culture.

I need white people to explain this to me…why when you’re not able to make good decisions or build relationships with your kids you look to the government to do what you are unwilling or incapable of doing.

The controversy over Black actors in The Odyssey is only the surface. The deeper question is this: why has Africa’s foundational role in Greek civilization been so aggressively erased? A major controversy has erupted around Christopher Nolan’s upcoming adaptation of The Odyssey, especially after reports and discussion around Black actors portraying major figures from Greek mythology.

Tier Halibel is definitely Polynesian/Samoan. It makes sense because her powers and character revolve around a shark-themed aesthetic and water-based powers, and Polynesian/Samoan people are native to the Pacific Islands and Hawaii.I will always love Kubo for doing dark-skinned women justice in his work. He is definitely the wokest mangaka ever dude made a powerful Polynesian woman in his manga before Moana was even a thing! 😂

Truth Smuggled Through White Lies Walter Francis White weaponised their racism against itself, walking into lynch mobs as “one of them” and forcing America to confess its crimes out loud, while the NAACP used his courage to rip the mask off a nation built on denial.⁩
