I don’t think yall mad enough.
There’s a black woman who’s been sitting in jail since 6/5 named Janine Delane because she refused to sign over the deeds to her land passed down to her . A judge order her to sign over her land.
They were SUCCESSFULLY creating food kitchens, school meal programs, community training.
The reason the Black Panthers and Rainbow Coalition became the prime targets was because they were giving a blueprint that WORKED and it was unacceptable to AmeriKKKa.
It was my birthday last week, and I was sitting in the breakroom at work when a younger coworker asked what my partner had gotten me. She already had her phone out, completely ready to see a picture of a designer bag, a massive $500 floral arrangement, or a viral-worthy dinner receipt.
I told her the truth: He spent his entire weekend covered in grease, replacing the alternator and brake pads on my car, and then he quietly paid off the remaining balance of my student loan that had been giving me rolling panic attacks for six months.
She gave me this deeply tragic, pitying look. “Oh. Well, that’s practical, I guess,” she said. “But you deserve to be spoiled. You know, the princess treatment. A man who really loves you wants to show you off, not just do chores. That's kind of the bare minimum.”
I just stared at her.
What she didn’t see was that for the last half of the year, I had been losing sleep, my hair was thinning from financial stress, and I was terrified to drive my car on the highway. My partner took his only two days off from his own grueling job, completely wrecked his hands under my hood, and drained his own savings, just to hand me back my peace of mind.
The internet has completely rotted our definition of romance. We have been brainwashed to believe that if a man isn't performing his love for an audience, buying things that look highly aesthetic on a TikTok reel, then he isn't doing enough.
We are out here casually calling a man's literal blood, sweat, and absolute financial sacrifice "the bare minimum" just because it doesn't come in a shiny box with a ribbon.
@JOSESEG26068105@CindyJurie Exactly literally would see what the theme is, skip to the end and still be disappointed when the designs came, it wasn’t the designers faults and some very good designers went home very early.
