IT'S NO ACCIDENT THAT:

You learned about Helen Keller instead of W.E.B. DuBois

You learned about the Watts and L.A. Riots,

but not Tulsa or Wilmington.

You learned that George Washington's dentures were made

from wood, rather than the teeth from slaves.

You learned about black ghettos,

but not about Black Wall Street.

You learned about the New Deal, but not "red lining."

You learned about Tommie Smith's fist in the air at the 1968

Olympics, but not that he was sent home the

next day and stripped of his medals.

You learned about "black crime," but white criminals were

never lumped together and discussed in terms of their race.

You learned about "states rights" as the cause of the

Civil War, but not that slavery was mentioned

80 times in the articles of secession.

Privilege is having history rewritten so that you don't

have to acknowledge uncomfortable facts.

Racism is perpetuated by people who refuse

to learn or acknowledge this reality.

Dark money group offers influencers $1,500 for posts attacking Chicago Democratic primary candidate Progressive House candidate Kat Abughazaleh told MS NOW the secretive campaign is “filled with false and defamatory claims.”

Dark money campaign in IL-09 changed their shady website last night not to dispute reporting but to smear it with the fact that I worked w/ Abughazaleh's boyfriend at NBC 3 years ago. To be clear: Ben is cool. We used to work together. And that had no influence on this 100% true story. Send me tips!

My grandfather had this installed in his 1966 Buick. He kept the car for over 20 years until my uncle, the car killer, got his hands on it.

As a young man, I loved for it to get dark early so I could hit the streets. Now as an elderly man, I'll be 69 soon, I need that extra daylight because I'm always home before dark now.

After all the dog whistles they used in the primary, he has a lot of work to do to get the base of the party aka Black people to turn out. No matter what they claim, whites aren't going to vote for him like they claim.

It ALWAYS makes me go off. I've lived in Mississippi the last 50 plus years. I'm at the point where I don't deal with white people unless it's in a business or medical environment. This includes former coworkers when I run into them. KKKrackers always give themselves away.

I'm 68. I understand how your dad felt because we saw this BS during segregation & we aren't putting up with it anymore. We recognize what we have seen before.

40 plus years of doing them myself, I did mine in the pre computer age, I'm very confident. I had a high school teacher who taught a Consumer Math class. We learned how to do taxes & he explained how credit cards & APR interest loans really worked. I still haven't used the mandatory Algebra or Trig

REP. STEIL: Some Dems demands put at risk the safety of members of law enforcement

CNBC: You mean like taking off their masks and having a badge that shows who they are?

STEIL: Well, they're known to their supervisors

CNBC: No other law enforcement officials in the US are allowed to wear masks

The silence from the game broadcast crew when they returned was cowardly and very, very rude. They didn’t even acknowledge the show or the artist.
