this is fucking disgusting. we need to put a stop to USING and ABUSING animals for sport. poor baby didn’t deserve that. heartless rider should have his back broken and forced to run.
I will never forget the day that I visited Cape Coast, when the tour guide who was so amazed to see me travel all the way from Trinidad said to me “I am very happy that you finally came home. You are the descendant of the ancestors who refused to die.”
Something changes in you.
So, I spoke to people getting food at a food bank and here are some things I learned from those in need:
1. Everyone donates Kraft Mac and Cheese in the box. They can rarely use it because it needs milk and butter which is hard to get from regular food banks.
2. Boxed milk is a treasure, as kids need it for cereal which they also get a lot of.
3. Everyone donates pasta sauce and spaghetti noodles.
4. They cannot eat all the awesome canned veggies and soup unless you put a can opener in too or buy pop tops.
5. Oil is a luxury but needed for Rice a-Roni which they also get a lot of.
6. Spices or salt and pepper would be a real Christmas gift.
7. Tea bags and coffee make them feel like you care.
8. Sugar and flour are treats.
9. They fawn over fresh produce donated by farmers and grocery stores.
10. Seeds are cool in Spring and Summer because growing can be easy for some.
11. They rarely get fresh meat.
12. Tuna and crackers make a good lunch.
13. Hamburger Helper goes nowhere without ground beef.
14. They get lots of peanut butter and jelly but usually not sandwich bread.
15. Butter or margarine is nice too.
16. Eggs are a real commodity.
17. Cake mix and frosting makes it possible to make a child’s birthday cake.
18. Dishwashing detergent is very expensive and is always appreciated.
19. Feminine hygiene products are a luxury and women will cry over that.
20. Everyone loves Stove Top Stuffing.
In all the years I have donated food at the Holidays, I bought what I thought they wanted, but have never asked. I am glad I did. If you are helping a Family this Christmas, maybe this can help you tailor it more. It does for me!
My sis was denied TWICE from the heart transplant list due to “noncompliance.” A 27 yr old BW w/2 kids.
The noncompliance? Not always liking hospital food, missing meds b/c NURSES didn’t wake her up, & panic attacks seen as “aggressive.” She died 2 months after the last denial.
“But she IS dead…(laughter)…she was a regular person. Just write ‘em a check. $11,000. She was 26 anyway. She had limited value.”
You can’t reform this.

Racism was at the heart of my heavily pregnant daughter's death, mother alleges
Nicole Thea, a YouTube influencer, died three years ago when she was eight months pregnant from an underlying heart condition, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), which ran in her family - she'd previously raised concerns about her health but her mother claims she was dismissed. Her unborn son Reign also died.
According to the most recent data from a report by Mothers and Babies: Reducing Risk through Audits and Confidential Enquiries (MBRRACE-UK), Black and ethnic minority women can be around five to six times more likely to die in childbirth https://t.co/qa9iOlSMHk
Understand that anti-black hatred is GLOBAL. They all mimic our culture and actively despise the thought of our success. In Germany, Korea and China, there is blatant ratings bombing of this film. https://t.co/xkgOJPNX0k
