Liberals would’ve advocated for slaves to be treated better, not for slavery to end.

You shouldn't know Reshona Landfair's name. She was the 14yrold at the center of the infamous R. Kelly tape, unfairly thrust into the spotlight and turned into a punch line. I spent an afternoon with Reshona in her first-ever interview to talk about her new poignant memoir.
EXCLUSIVE: For 25 years, Reshona Landfair was known as Jane Doe in R. Kelly’s infamous tape. In her first-ever interview before her memoir release, she reclaims her name. “I had to take ownership. I was not just the ‘R. Kelly girl.'” Interview: https://t.co/cfEDO64Cme

MLK wasn't killed for dreaming. He was killed for organizing. The dream gets quoted. The organizing gets forgotten.

This is how Black Americans and other minority cultures live in our neighborhoods, they’re lively with ppl outside playing cards, eating and dancing but when white ppl move in and gentrify it they start demanding silence and clear sidewalks.
are americans starting to realize they can just sit outside with their friends, wear loafers, eat together, smoke a cigarette, have a coffee and maybe even a cheeky drink, but IN AMERICA, and that they don’t need to drop $10k+ on an eight day european vacation to do these things?
