#BlackLivesMatter A thread:

It is not even that ::: to me it is despite everything they embraced America, sang their sorrows & played their music to create Jazz & Rock n Roll wept in their Churches through song but chose largely to embrace peace & Christ rather than tear America apart from the inside w/ bombs.

“Soooo you mean to tell me that someone down your ancestry line survived being chained to other human bodies for several months in the bottom of a disease-infested ship during the Middle Passage, lost their language, customs and traditions, picked up the English language as best they could while working free of charge from sunup to sundown as they watched babies sold from out of their arms and women raped by ruthless slave owners. Took names with no last names, no birth certificates, no heritage of any kind, braved the Underground Railroad, survived the Civil War to enter into sharecropping... Learned to read and write out of sheer will and determination, faced the burning crosses of the KKK, everted their eyes at the black bodies swinging from ropes hung on trees... Fought in World Wars as soldiers to return to America as boys, marched in Birmingham, hosed in Selma, jailed in Wilmington, assassinated in Memphis, segregated in the South, ghettoed in the North, ignored in history books, stereotyped in Hollywood... and in spite of it all someone in your family line endured every era to make sure you would get here and you receive one rejection, face one obstacle, lose one friend, get overlooked, and you want to quit? How dare you entertain the very thought of quitting. People, you will never know survived from generation to generation so you could succeed. Don’t you dare let them down! Give this to your young people who don’t know their history and want to get weak! It is NOT in our DNA to quit!”

When your partner isn't meeting your needs, ask yourself these questions:

Rosewood, Florida was a thriving town with a bustling economy. The population was 95% black and most of its residents owned their owned homes and businesses. That was until a married white woman slept with a man who wasn’t her husband, and told the town it was a “nigger”. #BHM

I spent most of my adult life dissociated. I had almost no memories, and felt like my life was a haze or not even real. Here's why:

For a nation that is afraid to let its people judge the truth and falsehood in an open market is a nation that is afraid of its people.” – John F. Kennedy, February 26, 1962

I care about the health of my friends, family and community. I care about fairness and justice. I care about maintaining and improving my community, country and planet. I DON'T care how others live their lives only that they are free to do so.

People don’t connect childhood trauma to adult behaviors because they don’t fully understand what’s traumatic when you’re a child. As children, we don’t have logic, we only have feelings A thread 🧵:

I’m so excited for my future man. Killa gone change the world, no kap. Watch this. 🙏🏾

Politicians insisting you “not politicize” mass shootings enabled by horrifying policies THEY take💰to uphold are really just telling you to accept them. But it’s not acceptable. And they are the ones politicizing by opposing common sense laws widely agreed upon by the public.

AriZona Iced Tea has stayed 99 cents for 30 years. The company is still profitable. A Coke stayed 5 cents for 70 years at one point. When companies say "we're forced to raise prices due to inflation," they're really saying "we're taking advantage of inflation to raise profits"
