Let me see if I understand:
After slavery & hundreds of years of oppression, America needs a study to figure out *whether* we get reparations, but it only took 24 hours for both the House & Senate to approve $13 billion in emergency aid for Ukraine?
Why does Obama keep saying โour ancestorsโ when referring to Civil Rights leaders? Obamaโs father was Kenyan. His mother white. He isnโt ADOS & isnโt anchored in the

Michelle Obama: "I can't make people not afraid of black people. I don't know what's going on, I can't explain what's happening in your head, but maybe if I show up every day as a human, a good human ... Just maybe that work will pick away at the scabs of your discrimination."
Kamala has a whole white family, including hubby & stepkids. As Top Cop in Cali, her staff was mostly white, with some โpeople of colorโ.

Itโs more complicated.
Diddyโs job was to create the illusion that Black billionaires exist & were created through hard work & business expertise.
Once he went at Comcast & Diageo, he violated the contract. And his protection was a part of that contract.
Going at these
Uncle Luke says, "Don't bite the hand that feeds you," and suggests that Diddy suing the multi-billion dollar liquor company Diageo is why he's being targeted by the feds for sex trafficking.

This is basically why Sesame Street was created in the first placeโfor Black (ADOS) kids.
The People of Color designation is certainly a problem. No such group exists.

I donโt know if Christianity is the culprit here. Too many Blacks practice an exceptionally docile form of Christianity. It doesnโt have to be this way. I donโt recall Jesus demanding his followers to act as doormats

I wrote out some thoughts on how to make this moment a real turning point to bring about real changeโโand pulled together some resources to help young activists sustain the momentum by channeling their energy into concrete action.
โYvette are you saying Kamala Harris canโt get the American Black vote because sheโs Indian/Jamaican?!โ
No. Iโm saying she needs to try to win my vote ๐ณ like a White woman. Iโll assess her agenda, but she canโt โsistah gurlโ her way to my vote because we ainโt sistahs.
There is nothing racist in acknowledging that Kamala Harris is not a descendant of American chattel slaves &, as such, cannot claim or own that lineage. Sheโs a Black woman, but sheโs not
#ADOS
in the same way Iโm not a descendant of Jamaican slaves, even if Iโd been born there.
Most mainstream hip hop is not โfor the cultureโ. Itโs a prison/prostitution prep course
It teaches recklessness in a country that severely punishes recklessness
Shade Room shared this & eats off destructive/degenerate behavior

I think the real reason some of yโall hate slave movies is because you are reminded that what was in the slave is no longer in you.
There is no community, willingness to fight, to endure until the endโfor a future you may not live to see.
You are not your ancestors.
So if Kamala Harrisโs mother ran away from a racist America, and into an affluent, white neighborhood in Canada, and Kamala herself, once she returned to ๐บ๐ธ, became an efficient tool of the apparatus that overpoliced & oppressed
