One reason I hate the glorification of drug dealing in movies, TV & music is because I understand that one of the main purposes behind flooding our community with drugs was to legally reproduce slavery.
I don’t condemn people who sold drugs. I understand #ADOS have limited choices. But having sold drugs is something to be mourned, grieved, and regretted—not glorified & celebrated.
Drug dealers are pawns in a deadly & racist scheme. There’s nothing heroic about it.
If you're jewish or non-jewish, please, Let the World know
Rep. Haley Stevens turns her back and walks away when asked about AIPAC.The Israel Zionist lobby has now spent more then $20 million to prop her up.
AIPAC is Israel zionist lobby which doesn't represent Jews or Judaism
She has a very interesting memoir that details her life during the Civil War and her thoughts on freedom and life afterwards, and it is available free online
Reminiscences of My Life in Camp with the 33d United States Colored Troops Late 1st S. C. Volunteers
Susie King Taylor, formerly enslaved, served in the field as a volunteer nurse & camp aid during the American Civil War to end slavery. The US Army captain under whom she served described her as heroic.
You know what shook me when I was Muslim?
The story of Hosea. God tells a prophet to marry a woman He knows will betray him.
She does. She runs to other men. She ends up enslaved, sold, used up, worthless to the world.
And God tells Hosea to go BUY HER BACK.
To pay money for his own wife who cheated on him, and love her again. Hosea 3.
I thought it was the most humiliating command in the Bible. Why would any man do that?
Then I realized I was the wife.
I gave my heart to everything but God. I chased other masters. I sold myself cheap. I made myself worthless.
And God looked at me, the betrayer, and didn’t say “you’re not worth it.”
He said, “Name the price. I’m buying her back.”
That’s the Gospel. God doesn’t wait for the unfaithful to come crawling back clean.
He pays to redeem them while they’re still dirty.
Islam told me to make myself worthy of God.
Hosea showed me a God who pays to redeem the unworthy.
The cross was Him naming the price.
Praise the Lord.
I often 🤔 why there are few #ADOS Physicians, this article explains why.
In 1910, Abraham Flexner, a German Immigrant & a person w/o medical training wrote a scathing report attributed to closing 5 of the 7 🖤🇺🇸 medical schools.

@adeyemi_cynthia This explains why @BreakingBrown mentions "systems" in place that deters us from being whole. Closing medical schools & placing barriers in place such as being seen as thugs, these systems will continue to push us out of the medical field.
Sickle Cell Awareness Day is also on Juneteenth.
It’s important to recognize this especially since 90% of people with sickle cell are black.
There is a gene therapy treatment that basically cures sickle cell disease & is 90% effective, but it costs $2-3 million
