Thanks President Obama for remembering the veterans. My father, Sgt Major Benjamin F Chavis Sr, was a veteran of World War I when the US Army was segregated but he along with thousands of WWI veterans fought for freedom, justice & equality for all humanity.
@EmmanuelMacron
President Macron: Your perspective is compatible with best interests of all humanity. Nationalism produces racism, ignorance & human oppression due to the false premise of selective manifest destiny of one nation or race over others.

I visited Bill Cosby in prison this week. Mass incarceration of Black Americans continues unabated across America. Cosby’s mind and spirit are strong. Even though he is physically blind, his insights are clear, intelligent and transformative. God bless!

We know BS when we see it, when we hear it, and when we smell it. General Robert E. Lee was a racist deserted from the U.S. military who led the Confederate Army to attack the U.S. military. Beware of today’s revisionists racists.

Wilmington, NC in New Hanover County is where the November 1898 Black Massacre happened. The Wilmington Ten in 1972-2012, and now in 2020 white supremacy mobs reassert their racist violence against Black America

We should never forget that racist Nazis also separated children from their parents. In America slave masters once sold African children from their parents to fortify slavery. It is 2018 and too many Americans have amnesia!

This is why I will never stop fighting for criminal justice reform. Having spent most of the 70s as a political prisoner unjustly incarcerated, my young daughter Michele and son Benjamin III had to endure the trauma of separation and the uncertainty of their future.

Fear, panic, emotional shock and hopelessness all are generated by misperceptions of the unknown. Yet today in America, COVID-19 has shed light on the deadly realities of what is known: racism, health disparities, and unmitigated evil.
