the fact the US used the full force of the federal government to eliminate the Black Panthers while the KKK is still running around tells you a lot about this country
The fact that Nolan Wells family got his remains OUT of Mississippi, and had them transported to D.C. for the independent autopsy is smart. Now a real, legit, thorough investigation can begin, starting with the autopsy.
Nolan Wells’ mama had to Life360 that boy just to snatch his phone, and his daddy had to pull up to one of the boys’ houses to get his car keys — the same keys he swore up and down he didn’t have. He had them the whole time. 🤦🏾♂️
The wildest part about POVERTY is how much time it steals. Waiting for buses. Calling assistance offices. Comparing grocery prices. Fighting insurance. Sitting at laundromats. Being poor is a second job nobody pays you for.
If you’re giving grace to the white kids who withheld Nolan Wells’ phone & deleted the history instead of the Black family that has to bury their son, you’re fucking gross.
Norway beat Israel 5-0 in the World Cup qualifiers and then donated the prize money they won to Gaza and that’s why everyone should be rooting for them.
As a white person:
1. Stop diminishing what happened. Stop telling Black people what to feel & that they are wrong
2. Listen to what the Black community is telling you
3. I don’t care who the fuck you are, as a human, if you left your friend behind…you’re a shit friend, period.
i just want to point out… the amount of money the U.S. has spent on war in the last 2.5 months is roughly the same cost that Bernie Sanders proposed for universal college. so the real question is never ‘can we afford it’… it’s what we choose to prioritize.
Just to be clear, if my child goes out with y’all and y’all return and my child is nowhere to be found, and there’s no answer in sight, your moms are going to be just as sad as I am.
Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.
