Black American man born in the 1960's trying to understand why we want an America with FEAR PREJUDICE and HATE as its core beliefs. Critical thinking and ignorance cannot co-exist. Safe space for all but those who don't understand consent.

TRAFFICKING/SLAVERY is one of this Nation's original sins, yet we've never really held anyone accountable for it or properly atoned for it.
We ignore the parallels that our current EPSTEIN mess is showing us.
We have to care not because they look white but because they are human.

This is the same man who while he cries about "White Erasure" has two NON-WHITE children.

In Hillbilly Elegy, Vance lectured Appalachians for being lazy bums. He lectured "childless cat ladies" he claimed were unhappy. Now he's lecturing every woman with a white collar job for living a meaningless life.
Such a smug, condescending jackass. No wonder everyone hates him.

Johnson is grateful that his parents *chose* to carry him to term. Odd how anti-choicers don't trust their faith enough to actually convince people to make better choices.
Mike Johnson: "I was the product of an unplanned teen pregnancy exactly one year before Roe. A lot of people tried to convince my very young parents that they should just take care of that problem. But I am eternally grateful that they allowed me the chance at life."

ICE is using intimidation, harassment, and fear tactics against peaceful observers and protesters.
It is NOT illegal to record or observe ICE activity. Period.
Showing up at observers’ homes, calling their cell phones, and putting people on a “domestic terrorism” list are gross abuses of power.
