If 3 Black people took a White man on a boat expedition and didn’t return with him the president would be making a speech right now.

Ty didn’t tell no lies, @tyoung11. I think these players know the refs hate Angel so they flop and hack her because they know they’ll get away with it. Its sad asf.
Fred Rogers met with a child psychologist every week for 22 years to build his show. She shaped everything: every script, prop, and song. The whole point was to give a child's nervous system time to slow down. In 1984, a single regulatory decision ended all of it.
The psychologist was Dr. Margaret McFarland, who co-founded the Arsenal Family and Children's Center alongside Benjamin Spock and Erik Erikson. She and Rogers understood that the prefrontal cortex in children, the part of the brain that controls impulse, emotion, and attention, takes decades to fully develop. At the start of every episode, Rogers tied his sneakers and changed his sweater while children settled in. Those pauses were intentional, designed to help a child's nervous system shift into a calmer, more focused state.
What ended it had nothing to do with child development science. In 1984, Reagan's FCC chairman Mark Fowler abolished the advertising limits that had protected children's programming from commercial pressure. Toy companies moved within months. Between 1984 and 1985, cartoons tied to toy lines increased by 300%, from a handful of shows to more than 40 animated series. In almost every case, the toy was designed first. The cartoon was built to sell it.
Researchers later put numbers to what parents were already noticing. A 2011 study in Pediatrics from the University of Virginia tested 60 four-year-olds across three groups: one watching SpongeBob, which cuts scene every 11 seconds; one watching a slow PBS show, which cuts scene every 34 seconds; and one drawing. Nine minutes later, all three took tests on attention, impulse control, short-term memory, and problem-solving. The SpongeBob group scored significantly worse across every measure.
In the 1970s, children began watching television around age 4. Research from pediatrician Dimitri Christakis found that by 2009, the average age of first screen exposure had dropped to 4 months, as the content got faster and the audience got younger. Researchers separately found that each additional hour of daily screen time at ages 1 or 3 raised the risk of attention problems at age 7 by 9%.
A Cheerleader from Memorial High School emailed her Coach about how Hunter and Austin Metcalf were terrorizing them during the school year. #JeffMetcalf raised bullies and #KarmeloAnthony was defending himself.

Apparently Austin & Hunter were suspended, so they weren’t even supposed to be at the school that day. Not only were they bullies but they were also degenerates.
🚨 BREAKING: ALL WITNESSES IN THE KARMELO TRIAL LIED ON THE STAND
Karmelo’s parents are in shock. Every student who testified completely flipped their story from the original reports.
First they said 3 people involved — then changed it at trial.
A coordinated smear campaign painted Karmelo as the villain.
One girl even admitted on the stand she lied about it being “over race”… then backtracked.
Why was NONE of this in the mainstream coverage?
This case was railroaded from Day One.
