Many years ago I asked my grandmother and great-grandmothers about their experience during the Great Depression. They both said they were already poor, so it didn’t really affect them. They l were experiencing Jim Crow and knew what they had to do to survive.
For them, the Great Depression was something that really happened to “white folks” in America.
When I see the acquittal of #BoneSpurs during the #ImpeachmentTrialSham, it’s not anything new.

For a lot of African-American seeing a rich Caucasian man get off for heinous crimes or any crime is nothing new. It’s just new for a lot of “folks.” That’s only a sliver of the injustice and sham trials people of color have witnessed in the USA.
No one was convicted for the Tulsa Massacre, for the deaths of #EmmettTill, #FredHampton, #SandraBland, #TrayvonMartin, nor #EricGarner. The idea and concept of justice has always been tainted because — history.
So, if you feel #DemocracyisDead and that it took a blow to the gut, join the club. Many of us have been taking them hits for a long time. We also know it’s time for action. Time to mobilize and vote. In fact, my grandmother was a poll worker every election in her community.
If we don’t vote #BoneSpurs out of office in November with overwhelming numbers, you ain’t seen nothing, yet. But, don’t worry, many of us already know how to adapt and survive. #VoteThemOut2020 #VoteBlueNoMatterWho
