I am pretty sure any reparations bill could provide a provision for you and any other descendant to opt out of your check. And I am 100 percent certain you would do that, right?
It’s so insulting he was allowed to testify.
Also, WHO THE HELL EVER CONSENTS TO BEING A VICTIM? That’s ludicrous on its face.

I took Najya to the new Toni Morrison doc. Not only did she witness a powerful woman on screen, she was surrounded by powerful women who have spent decades working on behalf of women. Gloria Aldridge even gave Najya her bus card & told her to call if any boys ever mess w her.😂
It was an amazing night. She was the only child there and didn’t quite understand how significant it was for her to meet these women, but one day she will. Grateful to Sister Sanchez for inviting me.
*Allred! Sorry.

25! I’m a child of the Migration, but my family is all from Mississippi and you don’t get deeper South than that.
Damn. 27, actually, and if I ate seafood, it’d be even higher. We ate EVERYTHING growing up. Squirrel, frog legs, hog head cheese, chitlins.
I feel like liver mush and congealed salad (whatever the hell that is) must be white Southern cuisine. Because: WTH.

Yesterday, @NYCMayor and @DOEChancellor announced what's been lauded as a major plan to address school segregation. Many advocacy groups and activists have proudly supported this. But, after reading closely the recommendations adopted, this is not a forceful plan for integration.
Most of the 62 recommendations adopted have nothing to do with integration. And not a SINGLE one mandates it. Look at the language here. The diversity task force called on DOE to require integration plans and evaluation of screens. DOE Says will “strongly encourage and support.”
Task force recommends studying equitable distribution of PTA funds — one of biggest driver of funding inequality between segregated schools — but DOE says will work to increase overall PTA capacity. All capacity in the world won’t make high-POV school raise $500k like wealth ones

0. Now that the #Reparations hearing farce is over, lets have a REAL discussion right now that will address the questions of reparations in 10 points (continued)
1. "I never owned slaves so I'm not responsible"

Slavery was sanctioned by the federal government, and all those UNDER the government profited from free Black labor. So the same government & its subjects owe Black people for the free labor that accumulated ALL the wealth today
2. "I'm Irish, so am I owed reparations?"

Irish indentured servants already received two forms of reparations. One was Freedom Dues (money & land). And the second, was all the tangible benefits that came with the first Affirmative Action program called white supremacy

Just to show what kind of papers are being published in so-called "scientific" journals, let's dive into some papers by a person working at the Research Institute for Astronomy and Astrophysics of Maragha (RIAAM) in Iran.
This appears to be a real institute. I am not sure if they would be supportive of some of the works being published under their name.
Note: I am focussing on the work by author AS, not on other research at this institute or country.
Yesterday, I talked about some preprints by this author in which he cut open a quail (a bird) and put in a mixture of beans and rice in the wound to create a new type of life.

#Brexit news for today:

Nigel Adams, Minister for Wales, and Governement whip has resigned the #Cabinet over #TheresaMay's way forward.

1/n
You can hear #TheresaMay's reaction from here

2/n
So the splitting of the #ToryParty continues. Where will it end? And can we expect resignations from #Labour if #Corbyn is seen as giving up too much to #TheresaMay during the discussions tonight.

3/n

Right just catching up with parliament after recording @RemainiacsCast.
@RemainiacsCast Fucking great episode btw. @johnharris1969 guest. It's full on and I think has some quite important insights in it.
@RemainiacsCast @johnharris1969 Steve Brine, who resigned earlier this week to vote for indicative votes: ""The House of Commons has to solve this. This is the last roll of the dice. This is an opportunity for the House of Commons to surprise, in a good way, the British public."

Well it looks like @EmmanuelMacron and Chancellor Merkel aren't afraid of melting in the rain via @dwnews dw.com/en/ww1-centena…
Wizard of Oz reference not an accident. Heading to speak with @CNN @NewDay in 15.
I’m pretty sure American cars, especially Presidential ones, can drive in the rain when helo rides are ruled out.

Just a brief thought experiment.
If the Russian / Arab / US Plutarch media blitz hadn't been enough to hand the EC to the golfer, and HRC was President, what would be happening today?
You can be pretty sure she'd have been impeached by now, & the nation would be paralyzed. -more
2. I mean, everybody knows Goodlatte & Nunes would still be their corrupt selves, right?
It really is about the Congress.
I know the golfer is abhorrent, but...
It really is all about the Congress.
Please. Vote accordingly.

PS - McCain said publicly they'd block her SCOTUS appointments for 4 years.
They'd have kept the Blue Slip and blocked all her lower court judges.
You still think President is the Big Deal?
Nope.
Congress.
