Um...race is an integral part of Rosa Parks' story. And by story, I mean, her lived experience. In real life. That really, actually happened. Like, history. Like if she weren't Black, we wouldn't know her story at all. I don't understand how DeSantis and his cronies don't get this.

Let's Talk About - The History of the Black Church. I grew up AME & that foundation has served me well. We've always mixed politics & religion. From Denmark Vesey to Nat Turner. From Adam Clayton Powell to MLK, Jr. From Ralphael Warnock to T.D. Jakes.

A brief history of the Black church’s diversity and its vital role in American political history | Religion | news-journal.com
With religious affiliation on the decline, continuing racism and increasing income inequality, some scholars and activists are soul-searching about the Black church’s role in today’s United States.

Jimmy Carter has articulated a progressive strand of American Christianity that championed kindness, social justice, racial equality, and women's rights — ideals that are mocked by Evangelical Christians today.
Jimmy Carter embodies the 'road not taken' by many White evangelical Christians | CNN
As people pay homage to former President Jimmy Carter, many overlook a primary source of inspiration for his politics and faith: his distinctive brand of White evangelical Christianity, which remains hidden from most Americans.

For a long time, many of us had to have our guard up on other platforms; we don't have to do that here. Let's treat one another with respect and have respectful debates. Let's show the world that social media doesn't have to be toxic.

A Black couple rebuilt their lives after losing everything in a hurricane. They never thought they’d be thrown into a fight for their ranch and possibly their lives in a predominantly white and hostile Colorado county.

Some thoughts.
A Statement on President Carter’s Health – Griffins and Ginger Snaps
I came home from my day and tapped into my social media to find this statement from The Carter Center. I knew this day would come, and everytime I saw Jimmy Carter's name in the news I would hold my breath until the all clear. I had considered (pre-covid) to try to attend one of…

A statement from the Carter Center (below) describes President Jimmy Carter as being home for hospice care. I will have more to say on this great humanitarian and man as he spends his remaining time at home with his family. My prayers go to all of them.

In solidarity with Sen. Fetterman checking himself in for treatment for clinical depression, I’m starting #ItsOkToAskForHelp here on #Spoutible . I was diagnosed with clinical depression at 17, along with PTSD, and generalized anxiety disorder. I got help. #PleaseEcho

Why does Harriet Tubman belong on the $20 bill? She wasn't just a conductor on the Underground Railroad; she was a spy during the Civil War, and the first woman to lead an armed military assault. Harriet was buried with military honors at Fort Hill Cemetary. #BlackHistoryMatters #BlackHistoryMonth

Tomorrow on my site, I've got some Black authors and books to rec in the morning and in the afternoon, some thoughts on banned books.
Then, Monday, in honor and admiration of Senator John Fetterman, I'll have a new Mental Health Monday. I think this is my first one since joining Spoutible!

Hi Folks,
I posted this map earlier this week. I have just discovered that it is misinformation and I will be deleting it.
I apologize for not vetting this map with better diligence. I'm a firm believer in if I make a mistake, I own it.
Thanks to Raw Story for the correct information.

Friday Food – A Blending of Two Cultures – Griffins and Ginger Snaps
Food and cooking are universal. We all eat, we all need to get food on the table, and even if it’s not us directly, someone needs to cook. From small galley kitchens in apartments to large farmhouse kitchens looking out over lush, green backyards, whatever kitchens we are destined to be “stuck with”..
