A California school district asked board members to complete a white ally assessment. Board members rated their agreement to statements like:
"I understand the damage and devastation whites have perpetuated on people of color over the centuries and currently."
Let's assess! A🧵
A leading reason why the Black-on-White crime epidemic is so out of control:
Decades of mental conditioning causes White individuals to presume the best of the black individual involved - to put themselves in their shoes. It’s an embrace of the faulty premise that we’re the same.
Here is the background to the news that the lights are going out in South Africa.
"Eskom is set to axe as many as 3,389 skilled white employees, including 1,081 white engineers and managers"
In addition they've now BANNED any private company from supplying electricity.

Regarding the controversy surrounding Netflix's Cleopatra, I've seen many people online spout the same argument. "Archaeologists exhumed Cleopatra's sister in 2009 and found out she had African DNA." Every single part of that statement is wrong, and this thread will discuss why.
Two #Chicago youths have been charged with only misdemeanors after allegedly going for a joyride in a stolen vehicle & crashing into a family driving on the road. A baby was killed in the crash & the mother & other children were hospitalized. https://t.co/JBzyReCnaD
A 2019 study found that 81% of insect farms are infected with parasites and in 30% of those infected farms were found to be parasites that were potentially pathogenic for humans.

@HHillespie@JayMan471@parasociality in the u.s. today (in the 90s), ca. 1/3 of non-violent offenders have previous convictions for violent offenses.
