EVERYBODY cannot be influencers, models, rappers, and podcast hosts. Somebody somewhere HAS to do the real work in order for black excellence to shine....just sayin....
Yall do realize that in order to keep black business in business, someone has to actually DO the business? Black hospitals need black doctors, black banks need black financial advisors, black blue collar jobs need black folks in trade schools. Black lawyers, grocery stores etc
What happened in Texas with Karmelo Anthony has reignited a conversation this country never wants to have.
America loves to talk about equality, fairness, and justice. But for many Black Americans, those words have always come with an asterisk.
Systemic racism isn’t just a chapter in a history book. It’s woven into institutions, policies, perceptions, and outcomes. It’s the reason so many Black people grow up understanding that they may be viewed as a threat before they’re seen as human.
It’s exhausting being told racism is over while watching the same patterns repeat themselves.
The discomfort some people feel when these conversations arise is not comparable to the reality of living with the consequences of deeply rooted racism and bias.
If the truth makes people uncomfortable, perhaps the problem isn’t the conversation. Perhaps it’s the system being discussed.
Until justice is applied equally, and the system is shattered- these conversations aren’t going anywhere.
