Clarence Thomas walked through every open door created for him because of his race then shut them all behind him so no one else can get the same opportunities he did.
After a six-year legal battle with Harvard University, Tamara Lanier has won ownership of two of the earliest known photographs of enslaved people in the United States.
The images, taken in 1850, depict an enslaved man named Renty Taylor and his daughter Delia Taylor. They were originally commissioned by Harvard biologist Louis Agassiz as part of research rooted in racist pseudoscience aimed at promoting theories of Black inferiority.
For decades, the portraits remained in Harvard’s possession and were widely reproduced in academic settings. But Lanier, who says she is a direct descendant of Renty and Delia, challenged the university’s ownership in court, arguing that the images were taken without consent and belonged to the family.
Now, after years of legal fights and public pressure, Harvard has agreed to relinquish the photographs to Lanier, marking a significant moment in the ongoing conversation about historical accountability, ownership, and the legacy of slavery in American institutions.

Rich Paul ask the world to put themselves in Bams shoes after he received criticism for scoring 83 points:
“Let’s everyone put themselves in Bams shoes. A kid who grew up single mom, trailer park in North Carolina. Just trying to figure it out. This kid gets pretty good at basketball. Goes to Kentucky for one year. Gets drafted probably later than what he should’ve been but luckily for him falls to an unbelievable organization. The Miami Heat. Been to the finals twice. Been an All Star. Been a gold medalist. He’s done all this as a hard hat, lunch pail, steel toe boots type of player. This guy gets to shine one night on the offensive end. His mom is in the crowd, his lady A’ja is in the crowd. He gets to shine. One night, after he’s built this house, built this building. Why aren’t we happy for Bam Adebayo? Let’s celebrate it! This don’t diminish Kobe 81”
(Via Game Over) Great message @RichPaul4 🫡
BAM ADEBAYO: "To have 83 the first game she's here is very special... the behind-the-scenes, the workouts, the conversations, they're very motivating, and obviously you see what she does... you get inspired by that. I'm thankful to have her in my life."
A'JA WILSON: "I see the countless hours, the early morning workouts, the questioning the self, I see all that... this has been an incredible journey for Bam... I know he says I'm his inspiration, but I don't think he has a clue how much he inspires me."

While Black people are supporting Trump he’s doing everything possible to erase our history and stories. It’s sad that they’re so ignorant and deceived but, not surprising. His actions have always shown his racism.

What this apology implies is that the mere presence of Palestinian symbols - the keffiyeh pattern, the flag - is antisemitic. Spike Lee didn't say a word about the Israeli player or about Israel, yet was pressured to apologize because to them anything Palestinian is antisemitic.
And this, ladies and gentlemen, is the meritocracy they want you to believe Black people are violating

Current analysis suggests white Americans are experiencing intense political polarization, described as a cold civil war between progressive white racists vs. extreme conservative white racists, while blacks are fighting a civil war against both types of racist white people
Black people don't have any sympathy for the deaths of white people. How many white folks remember they demonized woke, DEI & CRT? Allowed the racist Heritage Foundation, Moms for Liberty, and the white discomfort bill to lead to the banning of Black History from schools.
