@kevinmnye1 I see it as part of the same phenomenon with women being represented more frequently in art. They are patronized as being the "weaker sex" and simultaneously idolized.
If police chiefs aren't trustworthy how could people of color feel safe under their officers? If police chiefs like this get to continue their cruelty then how could people of color feel safe in this country? #DefundThePolice
The DOJ said the @spd_hq routinely engages in excessive force against Blacks and Latinos.
14 cops are being prosecuted for brutalizing 4 Black men.
But…

@SevenhundredV14 @Carlos37705735 @NPR I respect that take and wish we had someone besides Biden as President. Thanks for your perspective. I guess I just don't see the good works Biden might do, like commemorate a tragedy, as being ruined by his hypocrisy.
@Fractal_Stuff @dspetro@Carrie020774@NPR It is explained in the article. Law enforcement at the time gathered photos, the massacre didn't appear in textbooks or public education, etc. Like Carrie said, you should research it yourself.
I grew up in a white Tulsa community. The opportunities I benefitted from were paid for by black bodies and black suffering. I hope I can repay that in some small way and I pray that God brings justice, reconciliation, prosperity, and peace to black communities in our day.
I should not have watched this Tulsa documentary. My heart is broken. #TulsaMassacre#DreamlandTulsa
Black people have endured so much.
This country can never repay the debt it owes us for the terror we have experienced here.
But it should damn sure try.
@dspetro @Fractal_Stuff @Carrie020774@NPR This travesty was covered up and largely ignored for over 80 years. People of color and especially black men have been demonized since the inception of this nation. What do you think equal emphasis would look like?
@Fractal_Stuff @Carrie020774@dspetro@NPR I hope you'll read it. Whatever you think the agenda might be, this atrocity needs to be acknowledged. https://t.co/Yd3248r0HE
@JaredBalcom Also, higher education failed to teach us about Medgar Evers, W.E.B. Dubois, and James Baldwin and I can't believe that people can graduate from a liberal arts college in America without reading Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison.
@missionkaali Lots of gay energy in 1 & 2 Samuel. Samuel's anointing of Saul in 1 Sam. 9 is pretty suspect and some scholars believe that 1 Sam 17.10 "Saul was holding his spear" is an inuendo. Hating #LGBTQ people is simply wrong. Most American Christians need to repent of this.
Ever felt like the Genesis Creation story seems a little wonky? Check out these 6 evidences that it is not as simple as we've been led to believe.

Scientists caught a massive, record-setting lake sturgeon in the Detroit River last week.
The fish — which they tagged and released — weighs 240 pounds, measures almost 7 feet long, and is believed to be at least 100 years old.
