We honor Mother Viola Fletcher and admire the strength and courage she exhibited. May she rest in peace.
Viola Fletcher, the oldest living survivor of the 1921 Tulsa race massacre, has died. She was 111. "I have lived through the massacre every day. Our country may forget this history, but I cannot," she told Congress in 2021. @GeoffRBennett has more.

The DOJ under Obama: * Did NOT file a federal statement of interest in the Tulsa survivors’ lawsuits * Did NOT launch an investigation * Did NOT examine government complicity * Did NOT pursue wrongful-death models like used for Japanese internment * Did NOT use the Civil
As a survivor of the Tulsa Race Massacre, Viola Ford Fletcher bravely shared her story so that we’d never forget this painful part of our history. Michelle and I are grateful for her lifelong work to advance civil rights, and send our love to her family.

Look at this split Boomers have 1/2 of the wealth that’s why the #boomerhooked are pretty much the only young folks succeeding.
Just to stir the pot even further... Why did Willie Sutton rob banks? "That's where the money is", he replied Whom will the younger generations target if they get desperate & angry enough about their financial malaise? The Boomers (and Gen X). For the same reason.

@ninaturner Here’s how brutal the math actually is: The federal minimum wage is $7.25/hr. At 40 hours a week, that’s $290 before taxes. After roughly 12–15% payroll and income tax, that drops to about $250 a week, or $1,000 a month. Now here’s what “survival” looks like on that: Rent

#SonyaMassey was a descendant of William Donegan, an ados man who survived a Lynch mob during a 1908 race riot that killed 17 people. This is one of the many reasons we need ADOSAF. We are still being lynched. NAACP is a shell of what it once was. Shameful.

And the "Racist Can" Award goes to Obama's pick for Vice President.....
A "Lifetime Achievement Award"? For what? Authoring the 1994 Mass Incarceration Bill? Excluding Student Loans from Bankruptcy? Quid Pro Quo Scandal of Burisma Holdings? Fighting "Busing" to maintain school segregation? Refusing to dropout in 2024, knowing his ill health? Enough
