They say it takes a village, well I made a promise to mother on her death bed that I would make sure my nephew graduated from high school. Mission accomplished. Now he is on his way to an Electrical apprenticeship program so he continue his goal of becoming an electrician.
We have to remember there was written laws (The Virginia Slave Code of 1680, South Carolina Negro Act of 1740, Massachusetts Law of 1708, Louisiana Territorial Code Noir of 1806, etc) that explicitly stated that BLACK PEOPLE could not defend themselves against white aggressors under any circumstance. The spirit of those laws exist today, this is the REAL reason today's white supremacists are saying self defense laws don't apply to Karmelo Anthony
Asking The Oppressed To Be Peaceful Is An Act Of Violence In Itself
Angela Davis exposed the violence, ripped the mask off white innocence, and reminded the world that asking the oppressed to be peaceful while they’re hunted is itself an act of violence.
This iconic interview was recorded in the spring of 1972 inside a California state prison cell, where Angela Davis was being held during her high-profile trial.

This rare, unedited footage of an archival outtake from the landmark 1995 PBS/BBC ten-part documentary series Rock & Roll (produced by WGBH and filmed by Elizabeth Deane). In this incredible raw interview clip, legendary songwriter Dorothy LaBostrie pulls back the curtain on the true history of American Rock and Roll music.
While recounting how she cleaned up Little Richard's raw, underground roadhouse lyrics in just fifteen minutes to write "Tutti Frutti" at Cosimo Matassa's J&M Studio, LaBostrie strips away the commercialized myth of the genre. She firmly re-anchors the birth of Rock and Roll in its true origin: the resilience, survival, and creative genius of Black Americans navigating the hardships of the mid-century South.
When asked by the interviewer how Rock and Roll and the Blues truly began, LaBostrie bypassed the standard talk of record labels and studio equipment. Instead, she spoke directly to the socioeconomic realities and systemic oppression faced by Black communities in Mississippi and Alabama, explaining how systematic struggle was transmuted into a global musical revolution:
“Where I would go to Jackson, Mississippi, down in Meridian, Mississippi, those places where people had such a hard time as I said, and they would give out their event in song. You couldn't fight what was going on down there, so you get in the corner and make up a song, get a rub board or whatever it may be. And it was sad, but beautiful.” —Dorothy LaBostrie
This Nigerian lady who teaches at a school in Japan broke down the Japanese style of learning that makes them very intelligent and productive.
I think this is smart learning. It will be helpful to Nigerian students, if it is adopted in our educational system.✍️
Black and white Americans United makes a Strong America. I believe Black Americans deserve reparations for the racist laws that stole generational wealth from black communities and kept the wealth gap wide amongst blacks and whites.
A bunch of people in their 50s and 60s, telling 18 and 19-year-olds what they should sacrifice to compensate for what the older folks have failed to accomplish for the last 40 years.
Rejected.
