A Thought About Justice
"The separation of the races is not a disease of the colored people, but a disease of the white people. I do not intend to be quiet about it". - Albert Einstein, 1946 at Lincoln University, an HBCU in Pennsylvania Be the PebbleAct
I have to Ask…
I want to talk about Atlanta. About the six Asian women killed there. They are being held up as examples of Anti Asian Hate. I want to ask everyone. Where were any of us? Women where they worked, were killed, are usually being sex trafficked. Did anyone stand up for them when they were alive? … Continue reading I have to Ask…
2020 Wasn’t All Bad

Republicans in Congress keep saying … Continue reading Divisive?

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the “Black family”. No, not the “normal” thoughts that seem to prevail.
