Ruby Bridges said the moment she finally understood what was happening during school integration was when a little white boy told her:
“My mom said I can’t play with you because you’re a nigger.”
She was SIX.
And she said hearing that felt like “a huge weight lifted,” because suddenly everything made sense.
Why the classrooms were empty.
Why adults were screaming.
Why U.S. Marshals had to escort her to school.
Not because of anything she did.
Just because of the color of her skin.
A six-year-old child realizing an entire country was angry at her for existing.
Same foot, same hand, violent strike, and separation will set up the next move. Great technique. Especially if the OL doesn't give you hands right away. I call it pushing the button. Give them a punch and make them give you their hands so you can work the next move. #Technical
This teacher should be immediately fired. Today at Barrington Middle School (Hillsborough
County Public School System) Florida, This art teacher Mrs. KAREN SAVAGE took the time to wrap a charger cord around a Black baby doll’s neck and hang it directly over the classroom television for the entire room to see.
In the video you can see the doll swinging and when the children called out this blatant hate and asked why she hung that doll by its neck, she laughed it off.
Her excuse to our kids was that she did it “to get their attention.! This is NOT a classroom management tool. This is straight up hate!
Call the school at 813-657-7266 and Call the school district at (813) 272-4000

The NAACP is taking a stand. Today, we launch the #OutofBounds campaign, a national call to action for Black athletes, families, fans, and allies.
In response to states erasing Black voting representation after the Supreme Court’s Louisiana v. Callais decision, we are demanding accountability.
"Out of Bounds is our answer: we are naming the contradiction, and we are calling on Black athletes, families, fans, and consumers to act on it. The same power that built these programs can be redirected." —NAACP President and CEO @DerrickNAACP
