To suggest that enslaved people somehow benefited from slavery is not only misleading, it is false. This is revisionist history.

Carlee Russell isn’t “making it hard to believe Black women.” Y’all don’t believe Black women in the first place.

This is the face of a man who climbed the ladder of affirmative action to his present perch of power only to help destroy the very ladder on which he ascended. This is not only the mark of deep ingratitude & disavowal of history, but a withering betrayal of justice & democracy.

Blaming the 5% of Black students for you not getting into a school where you’d be 30% of the population is exactly why you aren’t smart enough to go there. – at San Antonio, TX

My thoughts on Eboni K. Williams saying she wouldn’t date a bus driver unless he “owned the bus.”

Keep in mind that many celebrities have been speaking about Chicago gun violence for years. It’s not their fault that the only time white people want to bring up Chicago gun violence is when they want to deflect from their own complicity in racism and white supremacy.
"Like Chicago: Most of the shootings are young black men killing other young black men. Is that not correct?" [Yeah] "Much more than what the cops do. Why doesn't anyone talk about that? Why aren't there 100 giant black celebrities saying 'What are you doing to yourselves?"

Wow: Tennessee state Rep. Justin Jones, one of the Dems that the GOP is trying to expel from state legislature to protesting gun violence, calls out his colleagues on the floor ‘For years, one of your colleagues, an admitted child molester, sat in this chamber – no expulsion’

This nation was built on peaceful protest. No elected official should lose their job simply for raising their voice – especially when they’re doing it on behalf of our children.
