@Reniec7@wariocolosseum Even if it's merit based, he still shouldn't get it or at least shouldn't accept it. That's taking money away from someone else who is has the merit based qualifications but not the finances.
@ProfBlacktruth That's a BS race/gender neutral reason. The next question is were there any white jurors who are also educators that were not struck. If so, and if that was part of the objection, this case may come back on appeal if God forbid he loses. Voir dire issues are big on appeal.
Kym Whitley shares how getting into the audience of '227' got her noticed by Marla Gibbs and led to work as Jackée Harry’s double.
However, she claims Jackée didn’t want her on set because her humor would upstage Harry and recalls Marla Gibbs telling her not to let Jackée disrespect her.

In 250 years, Louisiana has sent 171 white men to Congress.
During Reconstruction, Black people were elected and denied their seats. Only one Black man — Charles Nash — served in the 1800s.
Then from 1877 to 1990, Louisiana sent zero Black people to Congress. Zero. For 113 years.
In 1990, Black Louisiana finally got a member of Congress again. Since then, white voters have elected 25 members. Black voters have had 4.
All 4 were in the same room fighting to keep the two seats Black Louisiana fought for.
Don’t tell us this isn’t about denying Black people representation. It always has been.
@repcleofields_ and @reptroycarter were joined by former Congressman Cedric Richmond and William Jefferson to let the record be clear that Black voters are due fair maps.
This image should put things into perspective for you.
Today at the state Capitol, the Senate Governmental Affairs Committee will vote on which congressional map Louisiana will have.

@nickyyknowsball Fort Lauderdale, which sits in Broward County, is a democratic stronghold. It's the reliable blue spot in a sea of red. That being said, I'm sure they all ignored her.
Killer Mike and his dumbass was on this app trashing Stacey Abrams and other Black Democrats.He expects us to forget that?
He's panicking over the Supreme Court's decision that rendered section 2 of the 1965 VRA useless and unenforceable.
Abrams was fighting against this!!!
I don't know if I'm able to keep up with this latest season of #masterchef. The Africa qualifying episode was trash and @MasterChefTD WTH!? I'll check back next season.
yeah this season is gonna piss me off because giving a no to the ethiopian guy who didn’t give enough broth but a yes to the “south african” white woman who didn’t make a south african dish was a choice #masterchef
