The guy squirting water into Zach Ertz’s mouth is Joe O’Pella. He’s an athletic trainer that’s been with the team for over 15 years at this point.

NFL teams don’t really have water boys, athletic trainers are usually the ones responsible for having water on the practice field and during games, but this post is absolutely hilarious.

A guy who rehabbed my ACL tear in my second year, has a masters degree from Pitt, and has years of experience keeping Eagles players healthy and on the field being called a “Waterboy” is crazy, and I’m already giving him shit for it, but good lord this post is so wildly misleading.

Either way, thought I’d clear the air, that the people with Water Bottles during games actually serve much bigger roles on NFL Teams.

These types of post piss me off. Athletic Trainers are Health Care Professionals and she is doing her job !!! Damn it ! Like if he was at a male Doctor’s office and they were assessing the would you make the same joke ? No! Give AT’s and especially Female AT’s their respect

[Vency Haynes, MS, LAT, ATC @faith_medicine]

She’s a black woman and a dope athletic trainer at that.

Leave her out of your immature locker room talk and play with somebody else Joe

This is why Republicans work so hard to keep history out of schools. They don’t want white children to know what their parents and grandparents did.

The Oklahoma Supreme Court dismissed the reparations lawsuit filed by Lessie Benningfield Randle, 109, Viola Fletcher, 110, and her brother, Hughes Van Ellis, who died last year at 102, the last three known survivors of the Tulsa race massacre, when white supremacists murdered 300 Black people and burned the Greenwood section of Tulsa to the ground.

America has $61 Billion for Ukraine’s conflict with Russia, $26 Billion for Israel’s genocide of Palestinians, but $0 for Black people murdered, brutalized, and dehumanized by white Americans.

[Qasim Rashid, Esq. @QasimRashid]

Oklahoma Supreme Court says that the Black Tulsa Race Massacre survivors get $0 despite being victims of terrorism & mass violence.

Meanwhile, in 1996 the families of the Oklahoma City Bombing got $50M to assist them as victims of terrorism & mass violence.

This is America.

[Ida Bae Wells @nhannahjones]

These comments on my reparations post are such an affirmation of this Michel-Rolf Trouillot quote: “We are never as steeped in history as when we pretend not to be, but if we stop pretending we may gain in understanding what we lose in false innocence. Naiveté is often an excuse for those who exercise power. For those upon whom that power is exercised, naiveté is always a mistake.” I see why they are banning the 1619 Project and AP African American history. So many Americans need — no, require — their delusions and their false innocence. To grapple honestly with the singular plundering of Black people and their own ill-gotten gains would destroy these fragile people.

You can't understand African HIstory without the Berlin Conference.

Let's dig in.

"The Berlin Conference of 1884-1885 set the rules for dividing Africa among European powers, with no African representation."

That's right. Europeans met and decided the rules for dividing up the continent of Africa for themselves. No matter what the indigenous people to the lands thought or wanted, these people believed they had the divine right to do as they pleased.

And get this, they act like these claims should still be honored today. Can you imagine?

But let's get to some details on what happened during this meeting regarding the continent of Africa.

The Berlin Conference, convened by German Chancellor Otto von Bismarck, was a turning point in African history. European powers, without consulting any African leaders, divided the continent into spheres of influence, claiming territories to avoid conflicts among themselves.

This conference formalized the Scramble for Africa, leading to arbitrary borders that ignored existing ethnic and cultural boundaries. The decisions made at this conference had profound and often devastating impacts on African nations, sowing seeds of conflict and division that are still evident today.

In fact, this is what has led to the boundaries we see today of the 54 African nations and the lack of control on the continent for Africans.

[AFRICAN & BLACK HISTORY @AfricanArchives]

Matthew Henson was one of the first person in history to reach the North Pole in 1909 along with Robert Peary.

Matthew Henson was an African American explorer who was born in Charles County Maryland on August 8, 1866, At a young age, he was orphaned and lived with his aunt in Washington DC. However, he quit school in order to be a sailor. At the age of 12, he joined Captain Child's crew on the merchant ship Katie Hinds traveling around the world for six years. He became an expert at charting and navigating.
At age of 20, Henson was discovered by an explorer named Robert E. Peary, who was impressed with the breadth of his geographical knowledge and experience. As a result, Peary invited Henson to join him for an expedition designed to investigate the feasibility of a canal linking the Atlantic and Pacific oceans through Nicaragua.
After that expedition, Henson and Peary undertook seven more expeditions with the goal of becoming the first to reach the North Pole, which was Peary's dream.
Because of how difficult the mission was, they failed six times. Nevertheless, this didn't stop them from planning the seventh expedition. For it, Henson taught himself how to build sleds, how to master a team of dogs, and how to speak the Inuit language. Henson invested many hours of study to make the corresponding calculations.
All of the hard work and planning paid off because, on April 6, 1909, Matthew Henson arrived at the North Pole and planted the American flag. He arrived 45 minutes ahead of Peary whose progress was a lot slower because he lost several toes to frostbite.
Sadly, it wasn't until more than 30 years later in 1945 that Henson received the Navy Medal from Congress, and it wasn't until 1961 that a plaque was erected in his honor at the State House at Annapolis, Maryland.
Henson died in the Bronx, New York City on March 9, 1955, at the age of 88. In 1988, his remains were moved to Arlington National Cemetery, where he was buried with full honors next to his friend, Robert Peary.
