Tina Turner was raw. She was powerful. She was unstoppable. And she was unapologetically herself—speaking and singing her truth through joy and pain; triumph and tragedy. Today we join fans around the world in honoring the Queen of Rock and Roll, and a star whose light will never fade.
Another longtime friend has made her transition. Not only will I miss that eternal ball of energy named Tina Turner but the entire world will also find this void in their lives. My condolences to her husband and other members of her family. Rest in Peace my friend!
Tina Turner was an even bigger star in Europe than she was in America. "No one in America knows that. I mean, people are always shocked when I explain," Tina Turner told Mike Wallace in 1996. https://t.co/zIUAs9mfhw
When asked how she would like to be remembered, she said: “As the Queen of Rock’n’Roll. As a woman who showed other women that it is OK to strive for success on their own terms.” ❤️ Tina Turner
Today in 1618, angry Protestants toss Catholic officials from the upper floor of Prague Castle. The incident is a catalyst for the Thirty Years War. It also popularizes the word "defenestration," which is the act of throwing someone out of a window (literally or metaphorically)
The @NAACP “travel warning” for Blacks against going to Florida is stupid, nakedly political, and exposes the NAACP as yet another once great civil rights organization that has devolved into an arm of the DNC.
Black Americans deserve better.
The ONLY hostility I’ve felt living in FL is Biden’s inflation hitting my pocketbook.
🍽️Food prices are UP
⛽️Gas prices are STILL UP
💊Fentanyl's flowing into EVERY community due to Biden's open border
NAACP should be focused on THESE issues rather than playing petty politics.
I encourage the NAACP to focus on the REAL hostility Black people in America face —the hostility of Biden's presidency that has made life much harder for all of us.
🚨Record inflation
🚨Open border
🚨Fentanyl killing thousands
🚨Rampant crime
🚨Skyrocketing prices
🚨Higher taxes and regulations
If the NAACP wanted to issue an honest travel advisory for black America, it wouldn’t target Florida. It would encourage blacks to avoid the gang-infested neighborhoods of Chicago, New Orleans, Baltimore, etc. But the NAACP doesn’t care about black people. It’s a bought and paid-for appendage of the DNC. Like all other “civil rights” institutions on the left, it's a shell of its former self, using up what little is left of its brand to demand respect it has done nothing to deserve for more than half a century.
What the NAACP is doing with its "travel advisory" is silly and dumb. It makes NO sense.
As a Black man who's lived in Florida since 1996, I can tell you there's no better place to go to school, start a career, raise a family, and live free from failing Democratic policies.
I’ve lived in FL since '96.
I went to college, got married, started a career, raised kids, coached sports & attended church in FL & NEVER had a problem.
I don’t know what NAACP is talking about.
FL is doing a SIGNIFICANTLY better job helping Black people succeed than NY or CA.
