Did I tell y’all my wife wrote a book? If you don’t need it (you do), somebody you know does (they do too).

This seems absolutely insane to me.
But what do I know.
Oklahoma’s minimum wage has been $7.25 an hour since 2009.

FTP: LAPD killed her dog. He was wearing his Knicks jersey.
His name was Jameson. A golden doodle. One of the sweetest, most gentle breeds alive.
A neighbor called a noise complaint. That's it.
20+ officers showed up. Then a helicopter. For a noise complaint in an apartment complex.
And they shot Jameson dead. In front of his owner. In front of her child.
No warning. No de-escalation. Nothing.
The media is barely covering this. No headlines. No outrage.
Like it never happened.
If this was your dog... your child watching... how would you feel?
Jameson deserved better. That little boy deserved better. His mama deserved better.

Trying not to be numb to all this

[Bishop Talbert Swan @TalbertSwan]

This is Amerikkka

In Texas, Karmelo Anthony was convicted after acting in self-defense during a confrontation that ended in the death of a white teenager. The jury rejected his self-defense claim. In South Carolina, Rick Chow was acquitted after chasing and shooting 14-year-old Cyrus Carmack-Belton in the back, claiming he was defending his son. The jury accepted that defense

The legal facts of these cases are different. The circumstances are different. But the outcome leaves us asking the same question: Why does self-defense seem easier to recognize when the person pulling the trigger isn’t Black?

A Black teenager fearing for his life is seen as a criminal. A grown man who chases a Black child and shoots him in the back is seen as a reasonable citizen.

For generations, Black people have watched courts, juries, media outlets, and politicians extend the benefit of the doubt to others while denying it to us. We have watched Black children be treated as threats and Black victims be placed on trial after their deaths. Black fear is discounted, Black humanity is questioned, and Black lives are afforded less grace by a system that promises equal justice under the law.

Justice cannot be color-coded. Self-defense cannot depend on the race of the person making the claim. And equal protection under the law cannot remain a slogan that Black people in American never fully experience.

The gag order lifted. And the mask came off with it.

After sentencing, Austin Metcalf’s father Jeff Metcalf went live on TikTok and was caught on a racist rant about Karmelo Anthony, including calling him a “watermelon felon,” saying Black people get “all the free sh*t we give you,” claiming “400 years ago someone sold you to us,” and attacking Black fathers for not being involved in their children’s lives.

This is the same man who stood in that courtroom and said “this was never about race.”

The prosecution struck every qualified Black juror from the panel. A gag order silenced public response for nearly a year. And the moment the muzzle came off, this is who he showed us he was.

Karmelo Anthony did not get a fair trial. And now the victim’s own father has confirmed in his own words what this community has known from the beginning.

You do not earn a billion dollars. You steal it. Nobody works a billion times harder than a nurse, a teacher, or a farmer. That wealth comes from underpaying the people who actually did the work. Stop praising hoarders who are just really good at wage theft.

Rich kids get capital. Middle class kids get “figure it out.” Poor kids get trauma and told it builds character. The starting line is not equal.
