Dear America,
You have yet to settle your debt. You cannot declare freedom or color-blindness when the systems you have rigged and the culture of oppression you created continue to steal from us.

"With let-them-eat-cake obliviousness, today, the majority pulls the ripcord and announces 'colorblindness for all' by legal fiat. But deeming race irrelevant in law does not make it so in life."

It’s sad that we live in a country where white people have most of the power but they have been convinced they are experiencing all of the pain.

[Michael Harriot @michaelharriot]

Before you begin your thinkpiece, the Supreme Court DID NOT strike down Affirmative Action

Admission preferences for legacies, donors, employee families and special recommendations are still allowed

The Court struck down Affirmative Action For everyone except WHITE PEOPLE

We are saddened to hear of the passing of photographer Kwame Brathwaite (@kwamebphoto). His life, work, and legacy left an indelible mark on Black culture + consciousness. Our thoughts are with Brathwaite’s family, loved ones + comrades.

[Rev. Dr. Jacqui Lewis @RevJacquiLewis]

If Black kids are old enough to experience racism, white kids are old enough to read about it.

[Danté Stewart (Stew) @stewartdantec]

My daddy called me twice. I missed the first. The last one I picked up. He wanted to talk about Tyre. “For this man to holler out mama,” he said. “I couldn’t imagine. I would cry.” He called me because he just wanted to hear the voice of his son. He wanted to hear my voice.
