Additionally @PeteButtigieg never denied the systemic barriers to Black educational progress. But even with them we know that having at least 1 person in your life who succeeded in college & beyond can change the trajectory of a kid's life

I knew it! Trump’s Chick-fil-A stop was a staged photo op with Black Republican supporters. Michaelah Montgomery, the Black woman who told Trump that “we support you,” actually runs a conservative group and worked with Candace Owens’s Blexit Foundation. 😏

I stick by my comments from a couple months ago, Charla is a threat to Black progress. This take on #DEI is uninformed, damaging and only serves to advance those who seek to diminish access and fairness. Charla knows exactly what he's doing. So do those paying him to do it 😒

Charlamagne is irredeemable. DEI, like any other initiative, will have its flaws. But I have personally witnessed its effectiveness in opening minds and making real progress. He is simply unqualified to discuss this thoughtfully and it’s insulting that he would even try.

His mom was Black and indigenous (Lakota), no one should question why Thanksgiving isn't celebrated by Kyrie. He has indigenous roots. Let him be. Move along. Enjoy your meal, family time and hopefully understand the Pilgrim and Native American story we were sold was a damn lie

Today is my late mom's bday. Colon cancer took her life at 40. I have to get colonoscopies every 5yrs until I'm in my 70s. This was my 2nd one. Last one came back clear. Today I had 3 polyps removed. In a few days I'll find out what the biopsy results on them were.

I get agitated when folks assume that suicide is someone giving up. That it's brought on by 1 factor or that successful people or folks who don't look like "the struggle" are immune to mental health issues. My brother lost his life to suicide at 12. He was happy outwardly

A kid who grew up on food stamps, welfare, medicaid w/ a single parent dreaming of ways to make life better for her family went to college. She devoted her career to public service. Thanks to PSLF & @JoeBiden her student loans will be forgiven in Feb 25. That kid is me

So a basketball star is released, we can celebrate, but what about Paul Whelan? An American unjustly detained for years. May not be high profile but he is innocent. This is a dangerous road.

I think @PeteButtigieg has prepared for this night since he announced his candidacy for president. His campaign staff has always operated like he was a top contender, campaigned like he was, fundraised like he was and strategized like he was. #DemDebate

Haley & Ramaswamy have both used anti-Blackness to advance themselves in the Republican Party. Being anti Black is a prerequisite for entry into the party's voting base. They are Brown people doing the work of white supremacy because they know their audience. Mirror be damned

Nikki Haley is south Asian. Her ongoing demonization of Black people to advance her political career is a prime example of anti-Black racism—which is particularly tragic given her parents were only able to immigrate to USA b/c Black civil rights leaders passed immigration reform.
