@itsmine49 @drboycewatkins1 @OfficialFBMA Was thinking the same. They all got jokes, apparently. 🤷🏾‍♀️

@drboycewatkins1 Say "I'm Black" without having to say it... I went to an HBCU and pledged Divine 9. And oh yeah, my daddy Jamaican. Come on now, man??? You being weird now. But also... so what?!?

@booklady4469 @michaelharriot Yes ma'am, on Audible:

@wattsupkiki But, did you see it, though?

[Dee Manyama, MBA @JurnyeJ]

@myseachforjoy @_SJPeace_ You're absolutely right, because America didn't get this practice from Nazi Germany... they got it from America. 😕- https://t.co/pol9o9MzXm

@chukroxx @imKINGjane Imagine being those other 6 and genuinely believing you have more in common with the ONE than the 49 black families who actually share your condition. That's the insanity of it all for me.

@chukroxx Ikr! I prefer good fantasy fiction, myself... haven't read much in a while, though 😔🥺

[Dee Manyama, MBA @JurnyeJ]

@RossDeanna @Tbone4457 @RevDrBarber @JoyAnnReid Yes, including the closing of polling places suppressing votes on one hand and a nationwide gerrymandering effort by a private analytics company employed mostly by Republicans on the other. The documentary "Slay the Dragon" (Hulu) is very revealing about this.

[Dee Manyama, MBA @JurnyeJ]

For one- only people who have never experienced the nuance of actual racism would work this hard to conflate a homonym to this degree. Especially when the WORD has NEVER been the POINT so much as a symptomatic indicator at best. This is hateful, distracting, and ridiculous.

[Dee Manyama, MBA @JurnyeJ]

I would bet all 40 of my years of Blackness on the fact that this letter signed "Black MBA candidates c/o 2022" was indeed NOT written by anybody actually identifying as Black. And if it was, we need to have a private chat.

@ShiungSpace @PunishedMach @michaelharriot WHO. Is. Muriel? You could have started the list with that one. 🤣

This thread by @michaelharriot: People should stop saying how many people police kill each year. Or, if you want to throw out a number, preface it with “at least” because, the truth is, no one knows...💔 https://t.co/hr4tlQH8IF

[Dee Manyama, MBA @JurnyeJ]

@jseven1 @michaelharriot @JoyAnnReid There is video that shows the issue of police entitlement as mercenaries and executioners against whites, too. AND ALSO there is the overlapping racial issue of these actions disproportionately affecting people of color, particularly Blacks. Both of these are true.

@Stephen_Manyama @Makkim77 Why do I feel like if this was a city here it would somehow be attributed to BLM? Like... how, Sway?

[Dee Manyama, MBA @JurnyeJ]

@TheRightFighte1 @HSmu12 @michaelharriot How unfortunate to think that just because a thing wasn't that it will never be, when everything that is was once only an idea. https://t.co/JVLGveMmE6

@mlesley @tarlene03 @iamnikkifree @michaelharriot It's a "bee-bop" for me. Lol

[Dee Manyama, MBA @JurnyeJ]

@Mindkil66373369 @MullikinCody @michaelharriot Certainly, handsome. I listen to plenty of men (and boys) who are my sons, cousins, uncles, brothers, friends, and even those not so friendly- which is why when I do speak, I actually know from their experience and not just a vacuum of my own observations and random statistics.

[Dee Manyama, MBA @JurnyeJ]

@Mindkil66373369 @MullikinCody @michaelharriot Well, bright side is that it looks to be decreasing, especially with Latina women. Perhaps we might balance that equity work by also addressing their 54% deficit in pay. Since we're tackling injustices, moving goal posts, and all of that.
