Trump ataca Lewis Hamilton — e recebe uma resposta contundente…. Donald Trump chamou Lewis Hamilton de “um insulto ao esporte” porque o heptacampeão é “extremamente progressista” e acredita que não devemos discriminar com base no gênero…. Infelizmente ele escolheu a pessoa errada…. Em um local histórico, Lewis Hamilton não apenas respondeu com veemência — ele fez um discurso moral…. “O presidente dos Estados Unidos acabou de dizer que eu insultei o espírito da competição”, começou Lewis Hamilton…. “Querem saber o que insulta a humanidade? Tirar o acesso à saúde dos doentes enquanto se cortam impostos para bilionários.”…. “Sabem o que insulta a humanidade?”, continuou ele…. “Deportar estrangeiros e separar bebês de suas mães.”….
“Sabe o que insulta a humanidade? Bombardear crianças inocentes em idade escolar no Irã e enviar nossos bravos homens e mulheres para morrer em mais uma guerra sem fim… Acobertar os arquivos de Epstein e depois se recusar a processar uma única pessoa envolvida.”…. Lewis Hamilton — que foi atacado por Trump por apoiar pessoas transgênero e afirmar que “todas as crianças são uma dádiva para este mundo” — mudou completamente o discurso…. Em vez de recuar, ele fundamentou sua mensagem nos próprios valores que Trump tentou usar como arma…. “Eu não sou uma pessoa perfeita”, disse ele…. “Mas me esforço todos os dias para usar minha plataforma em prol daqueles que não a têm.”…. “Somos ensinados a amar o nosso próximo como a nós mesmos… Conseguimos imaginar a guerra em um mundo perfeito? Conseguimos imaginar o preconceito em um mundo perfeito? Conseguimos imaginar a pobreza em um mundo perfeito? Então por que toleramos essas coisas na Terra?”

That's a lot of diversity, and that's what makes America great. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I want to give you guys some facts about General Chappie James. He wasn’t a “DEI” hire—he was a complete badass that had to overcome MORE than any white pilot. Did 178 combat missions—that’s like 7 bomber tours on a B-17 in WWII.
His medal count? Impeccable. 3 Distinguished Flying Crosses, 14 Air Medals, Two Legions of Merit, and a Defense Distinguished Service Medal. One of the original Tuskegee Airmen, the first four-star African American General.
Hegseth couldn’t sniff the level of soldiering and warrior that was in Chappie’s DNA. God bless him. And Hegseth took down his picture from a hallway like a racist little child, which is what he is.

All of the ppl criticizing Abdul Carter and defending Jaxson Dart need to realize one thing
YOU ARE WRONG!
Trump is 'NOT' a normal president
▪︎ He's overtly racist with overtly racist policies
▪︎ He's nakedly corrupt, dishonest, and he's covering up a pedophile ring
Black people started Memorial Day.
It was originally called Decoration Day and it included a parade, but the most remarkable detail to me is that the newly freed dug up bodies of Union soldiers from mass graves, identified them and gave proper burials.

Naomi Osaka on why she chose to host a party for the black tennis players:
“You know I'm seeing a little bit of-
‘Why can't you love everyone for all skin tones?’ and ‘what if someone had an all white party?! First of all I do love everyone for who they are no matter their race + ethnicity, (I'm literally half Japanese lol). I can only speak from my experiences in my own life though, growing up as a tennis player I didn't see many people that looked like ME and I feel like it's important to celebrate them.
Secondly I feel like it's important to note that there have been all white dinners/parties. I don't know how else to tell you this, I literally seen them all the time and never had an issue with it at all. To the people who ask this question I want to ask you this question too, ‘What is it about POC getting together that unsettles you so much?’
I want to end this by saying I grew up watching my dad get discriminated against, having the cops called on him multiple times at the tennis court. There are multiple things I will apologize for in my life but celebrating being black and appreciating who we are will never be something I would consider saying sorry for. Thanks.
Actually I lied, I am sorry. I'm sorry for the people who cannot comprehend in their brains that this is not about exclusion, this is a celebration about how far we have come 🖤”

“We take care of our own people,” said Rev. Dr. Howard-John Wesley.

that's because Jaxson Dart was speaking up for an immoral sociopathic criminal who is severely damaging America
Steve Kerr has been speaking up for morality and decency and genuine American values
