A white woman said today “you think black women’s pain counts more than ours” this was in the midst of a discussion about the racists' attacks that Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson faced during the hearings.

2/11
This was because black women were telling white women that no, they could not understand and feel the same as us watching this circus. While they insisted that as women, they had suffered the same.

3/11
With this phrase, the woman revealed the depth of their misunderstanding and also revealed how white women view the struggle of black women… as a form of competition. She did not know she revealed this, she doesn’t even know she feels this, and therein lies the problem

People in the US are always complaining about too many laws, too many regulations... I use to be one until I realized without them people refuse to behave with honor, integrity and decency.

2/ 7
Without a law or a regulation formally written down, most Americans will not do the right thing on their own.
It is amazing that a country that values freedom so also eschews responsibility at the first opportunity.
You can not have freedom without responsibility

3/7
Given the opportunity, most people will simply not do the right thing...
Loopholes are nothing but a way to circumvent the meaning of the law.
I'd say 90% of all laws and regulations had to be put in place because of our lack of decency and integrity.

I've been advocating that after finishing high school and yes before college, the youth of so-called first-world countries should spend a year or two in a so-called third-world country.

Reading twitter these days has only reinforced that notion.
Although now I'm thinking maybe it's the generation above Gen-Z that would benefit most from this education.

Living with limited means stimulates your creativity, you are able to deal with temporary discomfort and hardship better.
Living in 3rd world countries would also dim the rising tide of racism. I stayed "dim" not erase.

White people claiming to be the victims of racism are like rich people complaining they are being discriminated against because they don't get food stamps

White people have never experienced racism, maybe that's why they are confused about it

2/
Can black people make laws that remove the American revolution from the history books?
Can gays propose bills that make it illegal to say straight in schools?
Can we carry guns without being stopped or worse shot?

3/
The reason we had to create Black Colleges, Black Magazines, Black awards, Black History Month; wasn't to exclude whites, it was because blacks were not represented or their achievements recognized in white institutions.

America is so wrong it's scary.
It's not only the cops... it's the people that call the cops.
Teachers calling cops on 6 years olds? on autistic children?
