So you mean to tell me that someone down your ancestry line survived being chaıned to other human bodięs for several months in the bottom of a disease-infested ship during the Middle Passage, lost their language, customs and traditions, picked up the English language as best they could while working free of charge from sun up to sun down as they watched babies sold from out of their arms and women rapęd by ruthless sIave owners.
Took names with no last names, no birth certificates, no heritage of any kind, braved the Underground Railroad, survived the Civil Wąr to enter into sharecropping... Learned to read and write out of sheer will and determination, faced the burning crosses of the KƘK, everted their eyes at the black bodies swinging from ropes hųng on trees...
Fought in World Wąrs as soldiers only to return to America as boys, marched in Birmingham, hosed in Selma, jailed in Wilmington, assassinated in Memphis, segregated in the South, ghettoed in the North, ignored in history books, stereotyped in Hollywood...
and in spite of it all, someone in your family line endured every era to make sure you would get here, but you receive one rejection, face one obstacle, lose one friend, get overlooked, and you want to quit?
How dare you entertain the very thought of quitting. People, you will never know survived from generation to generation so you could succeed. Don’t you dare let them down!
It is NOT in our DNA to quit!
@Matt__Card This disgusting meme and its aftermath exposed a lot of 💩 people who have no moral center. The fact that anyone felt portraying the violent physical assault of a woman in a meme is entertaining shows the moral decline of the country.
@4_Ben_Media My parents and their siblings grew up in Jim Crow Louisiana and Texas and are still here. The daily injustices they lived were dehumanizing and sadistic and led them to commit that their children (including me) would never live in a society like that. Still a work in progress.
@PaulGoulart57@RE420@AttorneyCrump The sad part would only be if he cared about the opinions of inconsequential people who try to diminish Black achievements using the term DEI. But I know he'll ignore them and shine. Proud of you young man!!
BASH: But it peeled off. Why?
BURGUM: It didn't.
BASH: There are photographs of people cutting a 350 foot gash in the reflecting pool?
BURGUM: Dana, why you & others in the media wanna keep questioning it
(This was a few weeks ago btw) He lied!
The fact that we are even talking about Trump winning the Nobel Peace Prize feels indicative of mass psychosis. The dude spent most of his adult life sexually assaulting women, girls and breaking the laws of business, morality and democracy. He is the most unpeaceful cunt ever.
