Why didn’t she keep that same energy and tell Skylar to give her teammates some money too, since she was so quick to suggest Reese do it? 😂
All these ppl do is double talk. That’s why I take what they say with a grain of damn salt.
Two Black boys running a lemonade stand received an unexpected show of support after someone called 911 on them. Instead of shutting them down, Kansas City police officers and firefighters showed up to support them, helping them earn hundreds of dollars. This is what community should look like! Investing in our youth instead off discouraging their entrepreneurship. ✊🏿
😱😱😱 And just like that, it’s completely VANISHED from the media.
A sitting congressman, Ted Lieu, said on the record the Epstein files are being blocked because they show Trump raped and threatened to kill children.
Lets make this viral again 👇
BREAKING: Fox News Just Spent 3 Straight Minutes Airing A Detailed Case For Corruption Inside The Trump Administration.
Think about that.
This wasn’t MSNBC.
This wasn’t CNN.
This was Fox News.
Rep. Jamie Raskin walked viewers through what he says is a pattern of corruption, conflicts of interest, and abuse of power inside the administration.
And Fox aired the entire thing.
When even Fox can no longer avoid the conversation, it suggests the story has become too large to simply ignore.
While Black people are out here thriving, succeeding, and building, racists are creating entire social media pages just to call us niggers. Imagine being that obsessed with people you claim to hate.
For some reason they think using that word makes them tough or powerful. It doesn't. It only exposes the hate and ignorance they carry.
They can roll back protections, spread hate, and try to make life harder for us, but one thing history has shown is that Black people continue to overcome, adapt, and succeed anyway.
We've been through worse. We'll keep thriving.
This isn't just a miscarriage of justice but also Jim Crow justice. The all white jury punished a 17 year old Black boy for killing a White bully in self-defence. No I don't think Metcalf should've been killed but it is clear Karmelo Anthony reacted to the imminent threat Metcalfe posed from his physical confrontation and did not plan a premeditated killing. It was self-defence or at the least a lesser charge. Not murder. Why 35 years when white people under the same circumstances or worse get far less sentencing?
Rittenhouse claimed self-defence for murder and is free. Rick Chow free for murdering 14 year old Cyrus Carmack-Belton by claiming self-defence.
It is ALWAYS a different standard for Black kids.
Karmelo Anthony was sentenced to 35 years in prison.
By comparison, the combined sentences for three former police officers convicted in the deaths of Jordan Edwards, Atatiana Jefferson, and Botham Jean totaled less:
• Aaron Dean — 11 years, 10 months, 12 days for the 2019 killing of Atatiana Jefferson
• Roy Oliver — 15 years for the killing of 15-year-old Jordan Edwards
• Amber Guyger — 10 years for the killing of Botham Jean
Together, those sentences add up to less than Karmelo Anthony’s 35-year sentence.
Cases differ in facts, charges, and legal circumstances, but the contrast in sentencing continues to spark debate about accountability, justice, and consistency within the criminal justice system.

Fun Fact: Did you know that the juries in the U.S. are still majority white, or even all-white, even in places where whites are the minority?
And that the vast majority of overturned convictions were the result of all-white or majority white juries?

Our kids are dying. And they laugh.
During a debate on requiring safe storage of guns, a senior House Republican clapped and laughed at their inaction on gun safety.
This is not normal. This should never be normal.
So, I want to clarify this: #AmberGuyger, a grown woman who was a cop, receives a sentence of 10 years for killing #BothamJean, and she might be out by September 29, 2029 🧐. Meanwhile, #KarmeloAnthony gets 35 years?
Same offense, varied circumstances, and different age groups…
Let’s discuss! What do you think? 💭 #MakeitMakesense #DFW
Daniel Penny snuck up behind an innocent Black man who never touched anyone, and choked him to death while claiming self defense. This happened in New York that has some of the strictest self-defense laws and a duty to retreat. Penny was still acquitted & paraded around like a hero. Karmelo defended himself from a physical assault in Texas-a state with the most expansive Stand Your Ground laws, with NO duty to retreat. And he gets a murder conviction.
The only difference in these cases is the enforcement is governed by systemic white supremacy
Karmelo Anthony has recieved more time (35 years) than George Zimmerman (no time), Daniel Penny (no time), Derek Chauvin (22.5 years), Amber Guyger (10 years) & Rick Chow (no time) COMBINED. This is unacceptable to any sane thinking, no racist person.
Here we go again.
My Republican colleagues just held another hearing attacking the Southern Poverty Law Center for supposedly “manufacturing hate.”
But when it comes to the very real hate groups fueling racism, violence, and extremism across this country, suddenly they have nothing to say.
Instead of confronting the people spreading hate, they’re attacking the people tracking it.
Spare me the theatrics.
🚩No cameras allowed during the trial.
🚩No Blacks allowed on the jury.
🚩No impartial judge.
🚩And a suspect defense lawyer.
The outcome was never truly in doubt. This wasn't a trial. It was a good old fashioned Texas lynching.
You tell me how many white women you’ve seen at a fucking BEAUTY SUPPLY store?!! In my 39 years of life, I’ve seen ZERO. Sally’s, yes.
So if we stop shopping? That shit goes out of business, period! TF
I don’t know what reality some of yall in. The BLACK dollar is HUGE!
Anyone telling Black people to fight fascism before racism has lost their fucking minds.
This is America. Racism is the root cause thats allowing fascism to rise.
Black people tried to warn you every step of the way
