@M_LeninistSco1@rashid_kay@OgbeniDemola Imagine heaven was real and infinitely better than we could ever believe, and that the only prerequisite for entry belief in the possibility ? Would be a big OOF on your part!
Frank Sinatra, a prominent figure in the entertainment industry, demonstrated unwavering dedication to the civil rights movement and was an outspoken advocate against racism. He actively took part in promoting racial integration and equality during a time when such stances were not always well-received.
Sinatra made a conscious decision to boycott hotels and clubs that practiced racial segregation, refusing to perform at venues that did not allow black individuals. Furthermore, he ensured that his band members, regardless of their race, received equal treatment and pay, setting a progressive example for the industry.
One pivotal moment in Sinatra's efforts for integration occurred during the rise of Las Vegas as a popular entertainment hub. At that time, black performers were allowed to play in showrooms but were barred from staying in the hotels. Sinatra took it upon himself to confront the board of directors, who had questionable histories, and urged them to embrace progress by allowing equal access for everyone. He challenged their outdated beliefs by emphasizing that "the money is green," emphasizing the importance of inclusivity. Through his influence and support, particularly for fellow artist Sammy Davis Jr., Las Vegas ultimately became an integrated city.
Not only did Sinatra act on his beliefs, but he also used his fame and platform to support other civil rights activists. He actively supported Martin Luther King Jr. and contributed significantly to fundraising efforts that bolstered the Civil Rights Movement. In 1958, Sinatra eloquently expressed his belief in universal friendship devoid of racial or class distinctions, emphasizing that true connections are built on mutual respect, affection, and shared values.
Frank Sinatra's commitment to racial equality and his belief in universal friendships served as an inspiration to many during a critical period in American history. His actions and advocacy demonstrated the impact a public figure can have when using their influence to promote positive change and unity among all individuals.
@ChicagoLyfe84@wa2138@dijoni There is nothing coincidental about ads anymore. They make ads available to you based on your search history and demographics. It’s as we can’t decide for ourselves
@LakotaMan1 We ran out of time and money for the debt. This is bigger than state level. Those lands were taken under eminent domain. The U.S. government still uses it. If the owners kept refusing the price offered to them it’s taken.
@MarkJacob16 @VeronicaSixsmi1 Stop with the pearl clutching. She’s being an outright racist about Obama and MVP. She deserves all the smoke for being a hypocrite and trying to erase her own history by cuddling up to white supremacists. Pearl clutching days are over.
@arlene1959@politvidchannel Maybe it's time we the people start a class action lawsuit to stop all this nonsense! We're just sitting here tweeting our grievances and nothing gets done.
I really thought I was the only one who can’t find much to laugh at these days. I watched a comedy series I used to enjoy the other day and I couldn’t do more than smile. This sucks. Royally. God bless this woman’s family.
@PatMaguire10@jim_sinclairjr You're not funny. Darn it. I saw a picture on TV of the Mom and she looked young & beautiful & smiling & had kids and I started crying. It's not right. I can't 'joke' at all. I think I've lost my sense of humor.
She murdered a woman in front of her 9-year-old child. Racism and hate played out in real time, in living color—cold-blooded hate.
She didn’t kill a stranger. She murdered her neighbor, whom she had known and hated for years. She must be arrested NOW! TODAY!
OMG... this is terrible! 😬😯 A store owner (Rick Chow) shot & killed a 14 year old (Cyrus) in Columbia, SC because he thought that he was stealing a water bottle… but the cameras has proved he wasn’t. Here's what the coroner has to say on this case. #SayHisName#JusticeforCyrus
