Hey @grok
Did Obama ever try to kick Fox News out of a White House event? And did his administration ban independent photographers so the White House could choose which photos got released?
Thanks.
Two Klansmen drove around Mobile, Alabama looking for any Black person to kill. They found a 19-year-old walking to the store for cigarettes.
His mother spent the next six years dismantling the Ku Klux Klan in a courtroom. Michael Donald. March 1981.
They beat him, killed him, and hung his body from a tree on a residential street, across from a Klansman's house, so the city would see it in the morning.
Police initially suggested it was a drug deal.
It was not. It was a Klan retaliation for a jury's failure to convict a Black defendant in another case — a life taken at random to send a message.
Beulah Mae Donald refused every version of the story except the true one. She pushed until the FBI reopened it. One killer confessed. The other was executed in 1997 — the first white man executed in Alabama for killing a Black person since 1913.
Then she did the thing nobody expected. She sued the United Klans of America itself.
In 1987 an all-white Alabama jury awarded her seven million dollars. The Klan had no money — so it handed over its national headquarters building. The organization was finished.
A mother buried her son and bankrupted the Ku Klux Klan.
One reason women get so angry about having to “tell a man what needs to be done” and why they will never stop complaining is because
For men, the stress is heavily tied to EXECUTION. The actual work.
The garbage needs to go out? Take it out.
The garage is a mess? Saturday.
The sink needs fixing? I’ll handle it after work.
He mentally schedules the problem, puts it in a box, and stops carrying it until it’s time to act.
But for women, the stress starts LONG BEFORE the physical work.
She notices the laundry, remembers the groceries, thinks about tomorrow’s dinner, sees the dirty bathroom, remembers the kid needs an appointment next month and suddenly she feels like she has already been working for hours.
That’s the “mental load.”
The problem begins when managing your own mental load becomes SOMEONE ELSE’S responsibility.
“I shouldn’t have to tell you.”
Why not?
Communication is not oppression. Your husband is not a mind reader or Professor XAVIER from XMEN
If five things are running through your head simultaneously, he doesn’t automatically inherit those five thoughts simply because he lives with you.
And constantly THINKING about a task doesn’t necessarily make the task more physically difficult…it can make YOUR EXPERIENCE of it more stressful.
Men cope by compartmentalizing: identify the problem, schedule it, execute it, move on. Simple.
That isn’t necessarily laziness. Sometimes it’s exactly how they PREVENT mental overload.
So instead of demanding psychic abilities, communicate.
“Garbage is full.” Okay.
“We need groceries tomorrow.” Okay.
“Can you wash the dishes tonight?” Okay.
Problem identified. Problem handled.
A peaceful household doesn’t require two people obsessing over the same mental checklist. It requires COMMUNICATION, division of responsibility, and execution. Plain and simple.
Your man doesn’t need to think exactly like you to be a good partner.
And making him GUESS what you’re thinking isn’t emotional intelligence.
Telling him clearly is. Stay bless.
