@MJM0187 @AttorneyCrump History shows that we are all descendants from Africa. Today, almost 50 million Black Americans live in the U.S., a country they built. We owe Black Americans our respect and gratitude for holding this fragile Democratic Republic together.

You people are incapable of living and functioning in the modern Western world. No amount of money will improve the test scores. No amount of empathy can uplift you. The blacks contribute nothing to society and your radioactive culture diminishes the quality of everyone else's life. You are owed nothing but contempt and the racism you experience is earned and deserved.

Fulton County’s Reparations Task Force released its 600-page “Harm Report” on how the region profited from slavery and systemic racism. Fulton County must now move from acknowledgment to action. Generations were robbed, it's time to repair what was stolen. 11alive.com/article/news/l…

The ITC remembers the life and legacy of alumnus Bishop Reginald T. Jackson. Please keep the Jackson family in your prayers this holiday season. Official details and acknowledgements to follow.
