@airfrance I need to be able to speak with someone. Your company is the absolute worst! I can't even access the online tracker for my luggage!!

[Amara Pugh @amaradp]

@airfrance My baggage was 'lost' on July 4th when I landed in Paris. The online baggage tracker is saying my bag was sent to ATL. However, there is no address on the tracker for ATL where my bag can be delivered and no way to edit the form. You cannot keep our baggage hostage!

[Amara Pugh @amaradp]

@airfrance you lost my luggage and your customer service is non existent! I can see that the bag arrived at CDG but there is no communication!! I leave Paris tomorrow and need to leave with my luggage!! This is totally unacceptable!!

As we celebrate Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., you'll see a lot of out-of-context quotes from people who have fought against what King stood for.

I think one of the most important parts of MLK's legacy is that it contextualizes how this country reacts to Black protest:

Did you expect anything different? Seeing people shocked that a white supremacist didn’t denounce white supremacists....

Whenever we talk about reparations owed for the free labor of enslaved people, someone will inevitably argue how few white people owned slaves.

But it's Labor Day, so let me show you how everyone in America profited from slavery.

Candace Owens can’t even hide in one interview how vile she is. Calling @iamcardib illiterate... because she doesn’t code switch & align herself with whiteness? You’re projecting so hard and we’d almost feel bad if we weren’t acutely aware of what you’re doing.

[No White Saviors @nowhitesaviors]

Candace Owens is a puppet for anti-Blackness @iamcardib she’s full of self hatred & betrayal. Claims a genuine care for Black people but aligns herself w/ whiteness every chance she gets. She has to patronize & insult your value because she sees the threat that your voice is.

Jesus was not a white, American man.

The U.S. flag is not a symbol for the Church or for Jesus.

The National Anthem is not a holy hymn.

Slavery was not a “necessary evil.”

The oppressor even tries to control the response to oppression.

The truth will make us free.

There's something very misleading about this graphic that is very important to black lives and shows the importance of black media and journalists.

The police don’t realize their actions and arrogance have been the most effective anti-police campaign we’ve seen. They haven’t adjusted or changed their behavior despite the technology. Just think: All black people are saying is stop killing us. And their response is ...

[Michael Harriot @michaelharriot]

So much of history has been whitewashed for the sake of making it palatable for white consumption that we are starting to perpetuate things that are not only misconceptions, but outright lies.

A lot of what you're told about protests, MLK, etc. is wrong.
