It's easier to marginalize, minimize or suppress these truths than deal honestly with them and their modern-day consequences. That's why we know these efforts in Florida and elsewhere have never been about accurate history, but rather the suppression of it.
Blk history is the most inconvenient to American mythology. In a country founded on ideals of liberty, we were enslaved. The greatest democracy in the world violently suppressed democracy amongst its Black citizens for 100 years after the end of slavery. These truths are hard.
Someone asked me why is Black history, specifically, being targeted. I said it's because our history has always been political *by definition*: Our very presence on these lands is the greatest rebuke to the narrative of American exceptionalism. We give lie to the lie.
I made a video discussing the myth that Black people have thicker skin than other races. This was the response from a practicing nurse.
To anyone who says that racism in medicine doesn’t exist, look no further.
If GOD isn’t Pro Choice, then what are people supposed do with all the Scriptures in the Bible that instructs them to CHOOSE? 🤔

"You don’t like your life, you do something about it. You reach down, you pull one foot out of the mud, then the other. You walk away from it. Can’t walk? You crawl! You do SOMETHING." #TuesdayThoughts
