Sources tell ABC News the Pentagon may strip an honor given to WWII hero Doris Miller – the first African American in history chosen to have a US aircraft carrier named after him – in order to rename the ship after Pres. Trump. @MarthaRaddatz has more. https://t.co/Vr42ozopLS
Steven A. Smith was criticized by the National Association of Black Journalists, then chose to take his grievances to a white-owned media platform and sit across from a white host who has a documented history of racist commentary.
In doing so, he may have unintentionally validated the very criticism he was trying to defend himself against.
Sometimes, your response to criticism reveals more than the criticism itself.

"Women like that, too. ... If any woman tell you she don't like stuff like that, she just don't like you. If the right man comes along, she's going to do all of those things." - @TacarraComedian
I totally agree with Mike. You really can’t say anybody’s the goat it’s different generations of great players. And to think me and this guy were waiters together at five star basketball camp it’s kind of crazy.
“This is just a beautiful time to get to learn your teammates, talk about the trip we took to Florida and the time we spent in Houston. … You know the @babyface song ‘Body Talk’? See how that body talks to you.”

Paul Wall talks to Cam Newton about growing up facing racism from white people because of the people he surrounded himself with, being called a “race traitor,” and how he ultimately found the most acceptance from the Black community by showing respect and staying true to himself 👀

“When it comes to white rappers, a lot of people will transition into other things… but it’s another flex to still be a part of the cookout for decades at a time.”
“I deal with this a lot too when it comes to up-and-coming white rappers… They’ll ask, ‘How did you get accepted?’ Because we can’t get them accepted.” 👀
The thing they used to do to us. We forgive them, but we completely have no regard and respect for our ancestors.. some of us have more love and appreciation for them than our ancestors.
We don’t have a voter registration problem in Louisiana — we have a voter turnout problem.
Part of that is because too few people are consistently engaging our communities, organizing, and educating people.
That’s why I’m working to bring Civics for the People to Shreveport and New Orleans next month. Knowledge and turnout go hand in hand. We need both if we’re serious about changing our outcomes.
If you believe in this work, click the link in my bio and support Civics for the People so we can keep informing, organizing, and moving people to action.
Numbers don’t lie.
