If you’re looking for an inspirational gift/read, please consider buying “A Pair of Wings”, a biography of Bessie Coleman written by Captain Cynthia Hopson. Ms. Coleman was the country’s first black female aviator. 20% of the profits will help put 100 black women in flight school

@RachelRoundyOR Yes, it is definitely a thing!

@BetteMidler I’m a Jade Pinkett Smith fan. I am not a Clarence Thomas fan. Unfortunately the latter has more opportunities to change the course of history😤

@Candi TRUTH!

@MBNUSA Hi Azra. I hope all is well with you and your family. Joset Wright Lacy

@CharlesMBlow It’s probably worth pain. It has been for me.

[Joset Wright @jwl654]

So...the President just did a “drive-by” as a surprise for the many patriots waiting outside Walter Reed. That stunt cost more than He paid in taxes in 2016. 😳

@CharlesMBlow I moved to Raleigh NC from NY and am still adjusting to life in the South. My maternal grandfather’s family was from NC and my maternal grandmother was from TN. Paternal grandmother’s family also from below the MD line in Maryland. My roots are here but not my wings.

@dnewman Though crude, it has the ring of truth

[Joset Wright @jwl654]

This is the truth. It’s ok to be a bigot but not a black person protesting bigotry. Wow!

When a woman or person of color becomes CEO, white men have a strange reaction https://t.co/oAFIi2ZQal. The reaction isn’t strange. It is the natural result of cultural training that people of color “stay in their place”. It will take leadership and courage to change the paradigm

@pvolpe @AndrewRestuccia @ewstephe Can you imagine the outrage if this occurred in the Obama White House?

[Joset Wright @jwl654]

We will be well served by watching what actually happens. Talk is cheap.

Black intellectuals have the right to disagree. Dr. West should be wary when the head of the “new” white supremacist movement castigates Mr. Coates and favors Dr. West. Divide and conquer has always worked against the black community.

"Perhaps the most important lesson to be gleaned from the now-concluded public exchange between (Cornel) West and (Ta-Nehisi) Coates is that ideas matter," writes Peniel Joseph for @CNNOpinion https://t.co/ryLtZJsyAI
