It's my firm conviction that the reason so many people on the left were disappointed in Obama is their inability to see him as he was and not as their Black Panther Archetype. I remember discussing Obama vs. Hillary in 2008 and pointing out how much more left she was than he was.
I was going down the issues and my colleague said, "But Obama has to run as a centrist to get the votes. If he ran on what he really believed, they would call him an angry Black man and he would never get the votes." I asked to clarify, if she meant that he supported progressive
policies that he never mentioned and never talked about but pretended otherwise just to get elected? Was he really a closet socialist? She was certain of it. I asked whether it might be racist to see him differently than he described himself and she assured me otherwise

Dear White Sistren, next time you feel tired of being reminded that WW voted in greater numbers for Trump in 16 & 20 or that BW are tired of hearing our excuses, take a moment & remember how tired BW must be of WW claiming exemptions from our cohort while we fail to do our work
And we all fail in big and small ways. I call out my family who share a racist meme by saying "The person who created that meme you shared is being racist and this is why, context, fact check. I hope you will be careful about sharing anything from such a racist in the future."
I am tempted to say "Stop posting racist shit." but endeavor to call in rather than call out because she's family. I could say that many in the racial justice community say we should call in rather than call out, but my "calling in" is because she is family.

Is it sabotage or incompetence? Are Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders so resentful of losing the 2020 primary they set out to undercut Biden with their daily shitposting about school loans? That was their promise, not his, but they have conned a generation of voters into a lie
So people post with absolute conviction that Biden promised to forgive all school loans when he said plainly no when asked directly during the campaign.

That Warren & Sanders have authoritarian tendencies is proven by their "stroke of a pen" lie they also repeat daily
This begets other "stroke of a pen" demands such as the blatantly impossible demand that Biden make federal property abortion sanctuary, ignoring the existence of the Hyde Amendment that is still, alas, the law.

My doctor prescribed an antiobiotic that I am intolerant of. I took it once & had diarrhea nearly as bad as what dulcolax will cause. However, it is a specific antibiotic for the two bacteria that infected the wound on my leg. So he said try the antibiotic & take lots of kefir.
So I got some kefir and a friend sent a bottle of Culturelle pro/prebiotic gummies. I didn't much care for the kefir but this Chobani probiotic drink was fantastic. My friend said, it's basically kombucha. It's delicious. Anyway, after 2 days, my glucose dropped by 20 and my avg
dropped from the 150s to the 120s and now to the 100s over the past month. This was not due to a huge change in what I eat, other than the addition of the probiotics.

Now, I tried probiotics in the past, but with yogurt and I would eat 1 small thing of yogurt each day.

The dentist that served the people where I grew up did not believe in Novocain. That's right, we went to the dentist who drilled and replaced cavities and removed teeth without any pain killer at all. A few months back, someone on FB asked if everyone else suffered from fear of
dentists because of our dentist. Wow, the busiest thread from my high school ever. Overflowing with the stories of the nightmare of his dentistry. Myself, when I was four I didn't open my mouth wide enough so he grabbed my upper and lower jaw and yanked so hard the skin on either
side of my mouth ripped open. One of my more vivid early memories. Anyway, he created a few generations of dentist avoiders, phobics, none of whom committed mass murder.

I believe the disparity is even greater with mental health providers. A friend of mine needed a therapist to help process the violence inflicted on her and was ill-served by 2 providers who I guess assumed Black women choose violence. She was giving up. I spent days on the phone
calling therapist's offices, asking their staff how many Black patients they have, how comfortable are they with Black people, etc., trying to find someone she could perhaps come to trust. If they sounded promising, I asked to talk to the therapist and asked them outright how
often they have treated Black people and how comfortable are they, because I knew if the third therapist was a failure, my friend would just give up and continue to be counseled by her pastor, a misogynistic asshole who blamed her for her partner beating her. I finally found one
