If an entire demographic was unmoved by one joke, but completely outraged by the other joke, that should make it crystal clear what group of people’s lives don’t matter to “them” and what group does
Annette Wilcox of the US Freedmen Project on how people who don’t qualify for reparations pretend not to understand what delineation is.

@Dj15851Johnson As it should every issue in our community is a manifestation of Racism and White Supremacy. The policies were fine when the benefited White and excluded Blacks but now that on paper the policies should include Black people, the message is accountability. Miss me U🗑🫏🤡
@mdc14726 The Irony of using an African American to make your point probably doesn't even register with you. Thus 🗑🧬. Yall are so superior you rig SAT as well. Again 400 yr head start and you still have to cheat but call equality reverse racism.🤣🤡🤣https://t.co/QOgUigZLkH🤡🫏🗑🧬😆😂
@mdc14726 I am, because the next racially charged event you'll be responding with...what about Chicago, per capita, Black on Black. And all the other nonsense. It's amazing yall live in Idaho but Crime in Chicago is your issue 🤷🏿. Yall are obsessed with us and factually wrong on issues
@mdc14726 WHY PER CAPITA EXIST AS A STAT IN OUR COMMUNITY. I'M PROUD TO STAND ON IT. BECAUSE ITS MORE HONORABLE THAN BEING OF A GARBAGE STOCK U 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤣😂🤣

@mdc14726@avidseries@jemelehill Per Capita Simply Means African Americans face much higher rates of generational poverty due to historical exclusion. Thus, a larger % of the Black population requires public assistance to survive. Context matters. U GOOF. 🗑🗑🗑🧬🧬🧬🧬 Explains your Raw Numbers😅😅😅😅😅
@mdc14726@avidseries@jemelehill According to demographic data from the U.S. Census Bureau and the Department of Health and Human Services, white Americans represent the largest single demographic group enrolled in major public assistance programs (such as Medicaid, SNAP, and TANF) in terms of sheer numbers.
@mdc14726@avidseries@jemelehill Wow so post slavery whites kept us out of banking and denied us credit and loans. But whites got full access and still need aid? Successful Black banks didn't get bailed out of the G-Depression. Unsuccessful White Banks got Gov't bailout that's crazy. https://t.co/NPztPzedUZ
Naomi Osaka's Grandfather Refused to Speak to Her Mother for Years. In 2018, He Wept Watching Naomi on Television
Somewhere in Hokkaido, a 73-year-old man watched his granddaughter on television, and wept.
His name is Tetsuo Osaka. And for years, he had not spoken to his own daughter.
Her name is Tamaki. She grew up in Nemuro, a fishing town at the eastern tip of Hokkaido. Her mother's ancestors fished in the Kuril Islands until the Soviet Union took them over at the end of the Second World War, and the family moved to Nemuro. For high school, Tamaki went to Sapporo. There, in 1990, she met a Haitian-American college student named Leonard François.
They kept the relationship secret for years. When Tamaki's father began pushing the idea of an arranged marriage, she told him about Leonard. He did not approve. He accused her of bringing shame on the family, because Leonard was not Japanese or simply he was Black.
The couple moved far away from Hokkaido, to the city of Osaka. That is where Naomi was born, in October 1997. Her surname, in the end, came from her mother's side.
For a long stretch, Tamaki had little to no contact with her family. Accounts differ on how long. One says about five years. Another says about a decade. A third says twelve years.
Then, slowly, the silence ended.
Naomi's Japanese grandfather had been against the family's plan for her tennis, and the decision to homeschool her. But he came around. Eventually, he became one of her biggest supporters.
When she won the US Open in 2018, he was 73, and he cried. In January 2019, at 74, he smiled at a press conference in Nemuro, the town his daughter had left. In 2021, he told a Japanese newspaper that he would like Naomi to open a tennis school for children in Nemuro. He likened her to an alpinist, always going after higher mountains.
@mdc14726@avidseries@jemelehill Racism impacts Black people just existing and yet we are still achieving, striving. But yall had a head start and oppose leveling the playing field. U scared? https://t.co/mwuYcPTX7V
@mdc14726@avidseries@jemelehill Nah I'm not in a rage I'm FACTUALLY CORRECT AND ENJOY FLOODING UR TIMELINE WITH TRUTH. It doesn't matter if you respond or not. You're going to maintain your racist opinions. But Ill have shared facts anyway
UPDATE IN BERKELEY COUNTY
This is unacceptable.
Earlier today I was at the Howe Hall polling location doing an interview about a separate problem voters had already faced there. While I was standing there, these young ladies walked in, proud and excited to cast their first vote. Their names weren't on the rolls, and they were turned away. They weren't offered a provisional ballot or any other option, and they had to leave without voting.
Two problems at one polling location in one day is a pattern, and it needs answers. No eligible voter should be sent home on Election Day, especially young people casting their very first ballot. When we tell young people their voice matters and then shut the door on them at the polls, we break their trust.
I'm proud of these young ladies for showing up, and I'm not letting this go. We're pushing for answers and working to make it right.
