I’m heartbroken to hear about the @SouthernU_BR student who died after an off-campus fraternity ritual. It’s been 30 years since my dad nearly lost his life during a similar hazing incident at Southern University. While he’s alive, the brutal hazing left him paralyzed and blind. He is no longer paralyzed, but he’s still blind & has fought tirelessly for decades to regain his sight. He’s currently trying to get into a clinical trial to restore his vision. My family is sickened that, decades later, Southern University has allowed this to happen again. I pray that, unlike my family, the victim’s family gets the justice they deserve. Southern was never held accountable, nor were those responsible for what happened to my dad. It’s beyond disgusting. #stophazing @ABC@NBCNews@CNN@andersoncooper@jaketapper@GayleKing@sarasidnerCNN@DavidMuir
many of you aren't ready to hear this, but the fact he looks like that and is a pilot is actually proof he's probably more qualified than most of his white counterparts
old white guys who run everything dont hire black guys who look like this unless their talent is undeniable
I’m thinking about POTS patients (and those with other forms of Dysautonomia) who would be hurt by not having access to drinks like Gatorade to get their electrolytes.
I’m thinking of those with T1 Diabetes who need access to sugary snacks to stabilize their blood sugar levels.
I get the urge to dunk on this, but if you're *at all* familiar with the American South, this is incredibly impressive for Louisiana, and I genuinely don't mean that in a backhanded way.
people in the replies saying this is good because people will be judged on how well they work and not their identity… people are genuinely STUPID the whole reason the act was created is because employers WERE judging people on their identity and discriminating
privileged people realizing that we live in a perpetually colonial environment. ‘i want my money back’ for what? you paid to stay at a resort catered to westerners for the ‘photo op’ and the ‘island experience’ with little regard for local peoples and how they’re affected by this
