A Black woman goes to the forest for a run with a White guy, he says to her “this is where I was gonna kill you.” After he notices she is recording, he says “I'm joking.” She then posts the video and Black people warn her and now she is defending him and attacking Black people.

[Black Journals @blackJournals01]

In 1918, a Georgia mob lynched a young Black woman for the crime of grieving out loud. Her name was Mary Turner. She was eight months pregnant.

Her husband had just been lynched in a rampage that killed multiple Black men — most with no connection to anything. Mary Turner said, publicly, that her husband was innocent, and that she would seek warrants against the men who murdered him.

For saying that, a mob of hundreds took her to a bridge.

What they did to her and to her unborn child is documented in the NAACP's investigation. We will not print the worst of it here. It stands among the most barbaric acts ever recorded on American soil.

No one was ever arrested. No one was ever charged. Officials knew names. Nothing happened.

The median white family has $188,000 in net worth.
The median Black family has $24,000.

That's not a gap. That's a canyon built by 400 years of policy — and it's getting WIDER, not smaller.

Your hustle alone won't close it. Ownership will.

Black-owned businesses are denied small business loans at TWICE the rate of white-owned businesses — with the same credit scores.

It's not about creditworthiness. It's about who the system was built to serve.

Build wealth anyway.

[Dr Boyce Watkins - Wealth is Power @drboycewatkins1]

The GI Bill gave 16 million veterans low-interest mortgages, college tuition, and business loans after WWII.

Black veterans were systematically denied access to all of it.

That's not ancient history. That's your grandparents' generation.

The wealth gap has a paper trail.

“If you put your child on payroll, you can pay your child up to $15,750 without your child needing to file a tax return... Then from the $15,750, you could take $6,000 of it and put it into a Roth IRA... and that money is growing tax-free."

Black homeownership: 44%. White homeownership: 73%.

That 29-point gap is the SAME as it was in 1968 — the year the Fair Housing Act was signed.

56 years of 'progress.' Zero movement.

The system won't close this gap. Own something anyway.

But Elaine race massacre against black farmers in Arkansas 1919. It was known as part of the red summer.. BLACK farmers wanted to farm a Union and a white mob was against it so they joined forces with the police and the military to massacre Black people in a church.

A Black man tried to vote in Florida, so they erased his entire town.

Ocoee, Election Day, 1920. Mose Norman showed up to the polls and was turned away. That night, mobs attacked the Black side of town. July Perry was lynched.

Homes and churches burned. Ocoee's Black community fled — and the town stayed essentially all-white for decades.

All because one man tried to vote. We documented it in our book, 150 Crimes Against Black America They Never Answered For. Get yours with the link below https://t.co/V6OJtazidd

100 Black men of Baton Rouge inducted 2 white elected officials this year, one is up for reelection against a Black man. Does that make them 98 Black men this year?

I have a simple question for the community.

Is it appropriate for a Black organization to admit a sitting white district attorney in the same year he’s being challenged by a Black member of that organization?

If the DA has served 18 years without joining, why now did he join now?

Does the timing matter?

When we ask ourselves why it’s so hard for Black people to win parish-wide and statewide elections in Louisiana, I simply challenge you to look at the actions taking place in front of you today.

We’ve lost too much as a people in the last few years for me not to get the business clear early.

Some of us really believe in us.

Play time is over.
