EXCERPT FROM "NOT BELONGING"

Shortly after my mother arrived in Nigeria in 1968 (aged 22), she was invited to a British family's home. The visit turned out to be an awkward event, a reminder of Britain’s colonial legacy.

IMHO, it seems like the US is in the process of a complete u-turn with regard to #civilrights and #humanrights .

There are no reasonable explanations for this "disappearance" – other than foul play, and there are many indications that this was racially-motivated.

Despite the fact that Black people found hanging from trees bear all the hallmarks of a #hatecrime , it seems that the modern police have 2 default responses:

1) no reason to suspect foul play;
2) this was a suicide.

Yesterday (10/2/23) marked the first anniversary of this horrific event.

If there is to be any chance of justice being served, more people need to amplify this case. Many thanks to everyone who previously shared this story; please share again. 🙏

Seriously, how could Kristen Welker have been *more* assertive with Trump? IMO, she was very firm with him... so much so that she didn't give him enough time to answer the questions.

P.S. I don't support either side... both awful, IMHO.

Today marks the 60th anniversary of the #MarchOnWashington .

IMO, there hasn't been significant change since that time (e.g. #policebrutality , #hatecrimes ). Some things have gotten worse (e.g. #MassIncarceration , lack of #CivilRights interventions by feds).

Agreed, but people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.
I haven't seen any coverage from #TheRealNews on a 2022 Mississippi lynching / many similar #hatecrimes currently on the rise. #CivilRights #FightFascism

Hi @cbouzy
As the screenshot shows, I have 83 spouts which have all disappeared.
Please advise.
Thanks,
Clare

Update:
When I did this spout, I found that everything returned to normal... not sure what happened.

The #StandYourGround laws clearly need to be repealed; I'm not sure why this didn't happen years ago, following the George Zimmerman trial (2013).

I don't know anything about The People's Party, but for me, there has always been something "off" about #cornelwest . He tries to make out that he's this great radical, but in my opinion, it's an act. #RacialJustice #socialjustice #Activism #BLM #Socialism #BlackSpoutible

It's clear that there's a culture in police departments (& society generally) that rewards Black employees for anti-Black discriminatory behavior. This cop has a history of brutality (presumably focused on Black civilians); he went too far this time. #JusticeforAderrienMurry #CivilRights

Hello @cbouzy I have been enjoying using this platform, but today, I am concerned that my #BotSentinel rating has gone from 17% to 29% in just 1 day - for no apparent reason (see yesterday's rating attached). I am a bona fide user who has been respectful in all my interactions. Please advise. Thx

If there ever was a case that illustrated performative #socialjustice , the #RasheemCarter tragedy would be it. Attorney Ben Crump has regularly shared this case on social media, but even with 684.6K followers, the story has yet to go viral. #CivilRights #BLM #BlackSpoutible #JusticeForRasheemCarter

It is not surpising that thus far, most mainstream media journalists have ignored the #RasheemCarter story. However, it is disappointing that this is also happening with #RacialJustice and #CivilRights activists with large followings.
