In my reading, research and viewing the #britishroyal #PrinceHarry #princewilliam #MeghanMarkle #katemiddleton I see many experience cognitive dissonance and confirmation bias

Happy Birthday Shirley Chisholm. Unbought and unbossed and unapologetically Black. She is reason why I am grateful to be a member of the @TheBlackCaucus and why I am here in Congress.

Today is Native American Women’s Equal Pay Day — meaning that, on average, Native women worked 699 days to reach a white male's pay for a year. Disgraceful!
That is why Democrats are fighting to close the wage gap with fair pay and more jobs with family sustaining wages. -NP

But but I thought the Heart of Invictus can't about the veterans. Please settle on an excuse that's doesn't contradict your former excuse. K?🤣

Pay attention to what journalists are choosing to use in their headlines about the racists who attacked the Black male security guard in Alabama. https://teapawt.net/t.co/Qsqtn4iID5 #riverboat – at California, USA

As it relates to the Transit Overly District on New Bern the City of Raleigh’s website says it will “tell the story of New Bern’s history and culture boldly in the form of public art and placemaking.” Sounds like gentrification to me. Why do you have to tell the history of a culture or of a people who can tell that history and culture through its continued existence and presence? – at Wake Forest, NC

On this day in 1972, Reporters exposed the Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment — a secret study to examine the effects of untreated syphilis in Black men.
American medicine has been built upon the abuse of black people with no oversight.
A THREAD!

Emmett Till should be 82 today.
His mother, Mamie Till-Mobley,
ensured that the world saw how gruesomely her 14 year-old child was murdered.
Racism isn’t disagreement.
Families grieve. Communities mourn.
Dreams wither. Humanity suffers.
People perish.
Remember Emmett Till.

See you in court.
BREAKING: Alabama has refused to create a second majority-Black congressional district, a move that could defy a recent order from the U.S. Supreme Court to give minority voters a greater voice and trigger a renewed battle over the state’s political map. apnews.com/article/alabama-l…

1) This is what happens when people are ashamed of their history. You try to cover up the crime. 2) Has anyone seen this list of experts and scholars that came up with these new clarifications? If so, please post.

Slavery was pure and unadulterated evil. There is no "other side to the story."

It happens in unhealthy, dysfunctional families a lot. It’s a form of manipulation and control. When you try to break free of the toxicity and abuse—they come for you. They lie about facts. They ostracize you and even gossip about you to outsiders. Ask me how I know? #Gaslighting
Advice: In families, gaslighting, a form of emotional abuse, is confusing and hard to accept. Why would people who love you want to drive you crazy or undermine your reality? wapo.st/3OmYlnF

To suggest that enslaved people somehow benefited from slavery is not only misleading, it is false. This is revisionist history.

Tony left us today but he was still singing the other day at his piano and his last song was, “Because of You,” his first #1 hit.
Tony, because of you we have your songs in our heart forever. ❤
