A lot of Black people have tried to own Beauty supply businesses in their communities, but the Koreans have that industry locked down, and were only selling to Koreans. They wouldn't seel to Black people. So this Black woman in LA started getting her supplies from India.
I know he was innocent and I suppose that matters but here’s what gets lost in that discourse YOU ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO KILL THE GUILTY EITHER! Stealing is NOT a death penalty crime. We have to resensitize ourselves to DUE PROCESS for Black people too! There’s a process…
Racial profiling gets Black people killed. They racially profiled him, the moment he walked into the store. Shooting a young boy in the back because you think he stole water, is egregious, and disgusting. I hope he gets life. His racism has him on trial for murder.
The way niggas go out of their way to be the "I'm black and I'm not offended" guy....like we get it, we know y'all will let white folks call you a porch monkey
I think about this lady’s best friend all the time. She was NOT playing about her friend. Knew her schedule, the meds she takes and at what time, and that shit was off IMMEDIATELY! May we all have a friend like her a be a friend like her
In 1998, I was fired from my corporate job while 9 months pregnant because and I quote, “my priorities would be elsewhere after the baby is born.”
The lawyer I hired told me I didn’t have a case because discrimination like “that” was almost impossible to prove.
So I got pissed.
Took the LSAT. Went to law school. Passed the bar. Had 3 more kids.
Twelve years later, another woman from that same company was fired for the same reason. She sued them for a million dollars, and won, partly because I had kept every piece of evidence from what happened to me years prior demonstrating a systemic pattern of discrimination against women.
That company no longer exists. My law practice is thriving. And that baby they said would derail my priorities? She’s a brilliant attorney now working at my firm.
Turns out my priorities were indeed, elsewhere.
