Missing 2-year-old Wynter Cole Smith has been found dead on the Detroit’s east side ( Detroit). Her body was found in an alley.
There are over 100,000 missing Black women and girls in America.
Finding them doesn’t receive a fraction of the news coverage, resources, or efforts expended to rescue 5 white billionaires that went missing in a submarine.

This two bit, self loathing, sycophantic, white supremacy apologizing, uncle ruckus, benefited from race-based preferences throughout his entire career, yet sided with conservatives to overturn affirmative action.
Clarence Thomas was admitted to Holy Cross in 1968 in part because the school was actively looking for Black students.
He was admitted to Harvard Law School in 1971 right after it adopted a “race conscious“ admissions policy, but chose to go to Yale at the exact moment it created its first explicit affirmative action program with a goal of 10% minority enrollment.
Thomas was one of 12 Black students in the class of 175. His application was evaluated separately and he received special consideration because he was Black.
When Thomas left Yale he was hired by John Danforth, the Attorney General of Missouri. Danforth admitted it was because he was seeking to have a diverse office and that Clarence Thomas was hired because he was Black.
Thomas left Danforth’s office to work for Monsanto at a time when the company was looking to hire Black lawyers. He went back to work for Danforth when he was a US senator and was looking to diversify his staff.
He then went to work for Reagan’s Department of Education and was offered the job in part because he was Black.
He then became chairman of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, a position that six Black women turned down before he accepted it.
His entire career was a result of affirmative action.
This man epitomizes hypocrisy and has always been an enemy to Black progress in this nation.

@chrislhayes@KingJames The man is an all time greatness. I was not a Kobe fan until he retired. Then I could appreciate what he did as a fan of the game
Somebody really needed to sit down Kyrie & give him some books. Not the self-published kind sold on the corner. Actual books that were originally printed in hard back copies. He’s always talking about what he finds on YouTube or a Google search, when he needed to visit a library.
In 1995, U.S. and Canadian wildlife officials released 14 wolves in Yellowstone National Park. No one expected the miracle that the wolves would bring. Video by Nat Geo Wild / Appreciate.
