Ahem "BLACK PEOPLE ARE NOT A MONOLITH!" I know its hard for some of you to understand that. Us being the future is a given whether you personally accept that or not, But like every group we have good, bad and in between. And id refrain from acting like our bad accurately reflects all of us.

Watching ppl slut shame Lauren Boebert while saying NOTHING about the man she was being lewd WITH is a special kind of liberal hypocrisy.
I don't like her either but seriously, y'all?
She's a skank but he's absolved? I thought we were better than that.
Either they're both skanks or neither are.

I do grow weary of "blame the Dems for poor messaging". Dem accomplishments are out there, pushed by the WH, POTUS and VEEP feeds. Also by our Senators, Congress folk, State Govs and party chairs. I can cite you chapter and verse of Biden/Harris achievements. But the media is invested in GOP chaos.

Tommy is a pompous idiot. He is unraveling the very fabric of our Nation’s security. Is there nothing that can be done to fix this? Infuriating!
I have a son and daughter in law that are both Marine Officers abroad. He is jeopardizing their lives. 🤬

Because Senator Tommy “White Nationalist” Tuberville has unilaterally blocked Senate confirmation of 265 top military officials.

Once again, in the plainest of plain English, what the Court said today is that race CAN BE used as a factor in admission to all things, so long as that factor is one that preserves white supremacy and is used to exclude Black people.

The status quo has always been to preserve whiteness at any cost -- even when one is dead and gone being buried next to a similarly situated dead Black person is just too damn much, so even a cemetery must be segregated.
Race has always been used to exclude.

the apple cart. Whiteness (or white adjacence) is preferred. And white (and white adjacent) people will do everything in their power to preserve that. The problem with affirmative action for white folks is that it flipped the metric from the comfortable position of excluding Ruby Bridges

So when Black children were excluded from schools, their race was used as THE deciding factor in their admission. That was the status quo: Race used as means to exclude people was just perfectly fine because the norm of society was to be and remain as white as possible.

Whiteness meant you could own land, and ride in any seat on a train or bus or public conveyance. You could sit at any table or lunch counter, ride on any elevator, drink from any water fountain, attend any school or university, see any doctor, or go to any hospital.

Race has always been the key to admission in this country. Always. The "normal" process -- the standard process -- was that whiteness gained you entry, Blackness meant you were excluded.
