the only abortion I had I was in a relationship and HE insisted I get the abortion. I was in college so it didn't take too much convincing but we got pregnant again 6 months later and I refused to get another abortion. He left me and I have a beautiful 24 year old. Never planned
Out of the 600 black people who showed up for jury duty, there were reportedly a lot of potential black jurors. History has shown us that when there are no Black jurors in that box, the chances of a Black person receiving justice are slim to none
“I don't want you telling me to go back to Africa, unless you going back where you come from. I got a note one day telling me to go back to Africa and ever since that time-it's been three times a week I say it when I am in a white audience-I say, 'We'll make a deal. After you send all the Koreans back to Korea, the Chinese back to China, the Jewish people back to Jerusalem, and you give the Indians their land back and you get on the Mayflower from which you come'... We all here on borrowed land. We have to figure out how we're going to make things right for all the people of this country.” - Fannie Lou Hamer

My father told me when I got accepted to Hampton University I might as well go to a junior college cause a degree from a black school is useless. There is a small percentage of black people who have a bias against HBCU's.
Yes there is disdain for HBCUs in the Black community idk what world you are living in…Your assignment for tonight is to go find this FB post then report back…
They're uneducated about the modern day effects of slavery:
“The institution of slavery determined where a Black family was freed from slavery. We show that the state where a family was freed determined the Jim Crow regime they likely faced over the subsequent decades. While Jim Crow compressed the socioeconomic status of Black Americans within states, differences in Jim Crow intensity led to pronounced dis-
parities across states, thereby placing descendants of those enslaved until the Civil War
at a disproportionate disadvantage. After 1940, the single reason descendants of families enslaved until the Civil War have lower socioeconomic status is their concentration
in the states that adopted the most strict Jim Crow regimes starting in 1877. Systemic
discrimination—the higher exposure to ongoing discrimination because of past discrimination (Bohren et al., 2022)—is at the core of slavery’s persisting legacy.”

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
This is about more than sports. It’s about justice. Learn more and join the movement: https://t.co/H3PDNjEeAL
The campaign asks Black athletes and fans to consider HBCUs instead: "When considering where to commit your talent or your financial support, keep HBCUs at the top of your list"

Biden was undermined by the white people in his own admin. More of it comes out every single day that these campaigners, Podcasters, and former admin officials like Jen Psaki demonstrate how racism undermines our own party. He should have fired them all. He was ill bc of them.
I told y’all the nuclear family being overemphasized was a scam to isolate us from one another. We have never ever lived that way in any part of our history.
