Happy Fathers Day to ALL the fathers (who handle their business every day).
And, yet never get nor covet the spotlight..

We see you.
We appreciate you.
#HappyFathersDay

.... They dust off all the ol' talking points (absent fathers, food-stamps) and, still they fail because they minimize the greatest attack on the black man in human history, the most devastating and ruthless attack on Black people -- ever: The Trans Atlantic Slave Trade

“With great fanfare, these conservatives declare the historic battle against racial caste to have been won. They go on to say that, but for the behavioral dysfunction of the black poor and the misguided demands...”

(link: brookings.edu/articles/an-am…)

— Professor Glenn Loury

"A complex web of social connections and a long train of historical influences interact to form the opportunities and shape the outlooks of individuals. Of course, individual effort is important, as is native talent and sheer luck, for determining how well or poorly a person ...

... does in life. But social background, cultural affinities, and communal influence are also of great significance. This is the grain of truth in the conservatives’ insistence that cultural differences lie at the root of racial inequality in America."

Afro-Americans have to take collective responsibility for crimes in fucking Chicago -- while they take ZERO responsibility for 300 + years of racist culture and law (sanctioned racist laws) passed to break black people.

Give me a fucking break.

Fix your #whitesupremacy problem; or the global armies of #multiculturalism (and so many others) will fix it for you.

If you don't know, how - just call!

"If liberty is to mean ANYTHING, it MUST BE accompanied by JUSTICE."

-- Edmund Burke, The Irish
Father of Western Conservatism

Please stand for the Black National Anthem: “Lift Every Voice and Sing” --- written by a James Weldon Johnson.

Sidenote: He served as treasurer for the Colored Republican Club.

(1871 - 1938 )

#JuneTeenth2021

Lift every voice and sing,
Till earth and heaven ring,
Ring with the harmonies of Liberty;
Let our rejoicing rise
High as the list'ning skies,
Let it resound loud as the rolling sea.
Sing a song full of the faith that the dark past has taught us,

Stony the road we trod,
Bitter the chast'ning rod,
Felt in the days when hope unborn had died;
Yet with a steady beat,
Have not our weary feet
Come to the place for which our fathers sighed?
We have come over a way that with tears has been watered.

For you two @SonnieJohnson @JaVonniBrustow ...

A History of the Lily-White Movement - Richmond, Virginia

"In 1920, state Republican leaders decided that in order to win, they needed to establish a “lily white” image. At their state conventions in 1920 and 1921, ...

@SonnieJohnson

@SonnieJohnson @JaVonniBrustow ..., the Lily White Republicans barred black voters from attendance. Black delegates were not seated in 1921.

Racial justice did not make it onto the platform.

"In response, 600 Black delegates met in Richmond on September 5, 1921, and nominated their own Republican candidates for state office—all Black."

@CNN Whenever the "lily-white, conservatives are told that they have to share this space that is ours; share it with an individual or with ideas, experiences, that challenges them; they quickly label that idea, individual, community, a threat, a relativist, a cultural Marxist.
