Im literally learning in real time and sharing it with everyone as im going through the journey.
This is literally what I do everyday.
It's a new rabbit hole I will never leave. Im just adding it to my network of holes
The reason "not all men" is irrelevant and counterproductive when talking about violence against women is because that's not the point.
The point is it could be ANY man, ANY time, and that's the world women have to live in.

Hey y'all. I still need to raise like $250 to cover my cash app loan. Can you help me, please? I appreciate everyone for holding me up at this time.

April 15th a HUGE day in Black history if you'd like to immerse yourself in something today.
1. It's Jackie Robinson Day
2. A. Phillip Randolph's birthday
3. Bessie Smith's birthday
4. Harold Washington's birthday.
5. Walter Edward Washington's birthday.
6. The day SNCC was born
It was essentially the event that killed Reconstruction.
A subsequent Supreme Court decision decided private actors couldn't be federally prosecuted for violating someone's civil rights.
Which allowed extreme violence to proliferate thru the Southern States and cement White rule.

Remember Fort Pillow
Today we dont remember it. But it was once a rallying cry that Black Civil War troops carried with them across the battlefield.
On April 12, 1864, one of the most heinous episodes in American history occured.
General Nathan Bedford Forrest ordered the massacre of Black troops at Fort Pillow

Let it be known that Katherine Johnson was the reason for the first astronauts in space.
And now Vanessa Wyche, head of the Johnson Space Center and NASA's highest ranking civil servant, is the responsible for the longest manned space flight in history

of vomiting up all the filth I'd been taught about myself, and half-believed, before I was able to walk on the Earth as though I had a right to be here.โ
