I remain WOKE with zero regrets. Black Americans, foundational to this land, cannot fall asleep & survive. Some leftists copied WOKE concepts and fucked them up. People routinely fuck up what we say and do. As for me & mine @CarlosNYT, we remain WOKE. #staywoke

Everyday there is a story to be learned about how this country was built and who built it without wages or benefits or thanks or respect. Don’t confuse history with “wokeness.”
@SixSixEvans@DollarBeKnowing@Oprah has many skeletons in her closet, so many unanswered questions about what she did and knew. Money can’t save her. She should quietly live her life and beg forgiveness forever. In the end, it won’t help. “What goes on in the dark eventually reveals itself in the light.”
White Americans complain bitterly Black Americans (BAs) “should be over” rape, torture, hanging, murder, theft of labor, enslavement. White vitriol surprises most BA’s who believe we made some progress. Now, we’ve all learned Americans are even more racist than we thought.
Black people started Memorial Day.
It was originally called Decoration Day and it included a parade, but the most remarkable detail to me is that the newly freed dug up bodies of Union soldiers from mass graves, identified them and gave proper burials.

We have the country we have because that’s the way the people in the country want it. The occupant in the Oval is doing what y’all want. It can be stopped whenever the people in the country want it to stop. No excuses.
Instead of comparing America to 1930’s Germany, it is more useful to compare today with America’s history of systemic violence, dating back to the 1500’s. Apples to apples might provide better answers to combat today’s sanctioned violence. Revisit our history.
@aristotlegrowth If you don’t want it to end, make it a “movement” not a trend. Reclaim Black🇺🇸 legacy. None of this is new to us, it is true to us. Get back on track.
@Logically_JC It took quite some time for working people to apply for SNAP. When the program rolled out it was under utilized. In addition to the lowest paid workers, without benefits, it took outreach and support for unionized workers, with benefits, to apply. They saw it as a stigma.
I read differently. I used to read lots of fiction, a book or two a week. I now read tons; shorter nonfiction material and more research on a wider variety of subjects.
