[Be A King @BerniceKing]

I, too, sing America...

Tomorrow,
I'll be at the table
When company comes.
Nobody'll dare
Say to me,
"Eat in the kitchen,"
Then.

Besides,
They'll see how beautiful I am
And be ashamed—

I, too, am America.

~Langston Hughes

Imagine taking offense to a bandage that someone else wants to put on their own body.

Men could end the need for abortion tomorrow. But we don't care about that part of it, do we?

[Shelley Smith @ChainReactionTP]

@TCTheatrePeeps Yep. Frustrating beyond belief. 😫

[Ilhan Omar @IlhanMN]

This is why I love my city and our community.

Privilege is, among many other things, the difference between your crimes being presented as examples of what you are or exceptions to what you are.
