Black people have a very unique relationship with America that no other group can have. From slavery to Jim Crow, to laws written to keep us oppressed, to the harm that has been inflicted on us for centuries, you cannot compare our experience to anyone

The American bar acts as a gatekeeping mechanism to exclude Black people and maintain an exclusive Anglo-Saxon" legal profession that is rooted in eugenics and white supremacy, seeking to limit diversity. History is repeating itself with states wanting to eliminate the bar

The brutality of Jim Crow. And today we are dealing with those grandkids.

Pay close attention if you are using the USPS.

"My name's Claudette. I'm 71. I drive the number 9 school bus, same route for sixteen years. Pick up kids at 7 a.m., drop them at school, repeat at 3 p.m. Most days it's just noise, backpacks, and asking kids to sit down forty times. But I see patterns. Like the boy in seat 14 who started getting on with wet hair every morning. Then soaking wet clothes. Then barefoot one day in October. I pulled over. "Sweetie, where are your shoes?" He looked down, embarrassed. "Water got shut off at home. Can't shower. My shoes got moldy." Nine years old. Walking to the bus stop barefoot because his single dad lost his job and couldn't pay the water bill. I drove to Walmart after my route. Bought him shoes. Size 3. Left them on his seat the next morning with a note, "Found these on the bus. Must be yours." He wore them every day after that. But then I noticed others. Girl wearing the same stained shirt three days straight. Boy who never brought lunch, stomach growling so loud I could hear it from the driver's seat. Kids who smelled unwashed, kids with holes in their backpacks. So I started keeping things on the bus. A plastic bin under my seat. Clean socks. Granola bars. Soap. Deodorant. Hair ties. School supplies. I'd leave items on seats like I "found" them. Kids would take them quietly, never asking questions. Parents started noticing. One mom stopped me. "My daughter came home with new crayons. She said you found them on the bus." I nodded. "Lost and found." She cried. "We can't afford school supplies right now. Thank you for not making her feel poor." Word spread somehow. Other parents started leaving things. Backpacks. Jackets. Lunch boxes. "For the bus lost and found," they'd say. I'd distribute them to kids who needed them. Then something bigger happened. The boy with the shoes, his name's Tyler, his dad got hired at a factory. First paycheck, he brought me $40. "For the lost and found," he said. "So other kids can find things too." Now there's a whole system. A "bus pantry" at the school. Supplied by families who can, used by families who can't. No applications. No proof of need. Kids just take what they need from the bin, like finding lost items. Other bus drivers started doing it. Twelve drivers in the district now. Feeding kids. Clothing kids. Giving them dignity disguised as coincidence. I'm 71. I drive a yellow bus full of loud children. But I learned this, poverty rides the school bus every single day. It sits in seat 14, seat 22, seat 7. And most people never see it because hungry kids get really good at hiding. So pay attention. On buses, in classrooms, at pickup lines. Some child is barefoot. Some child is hungry. Some child needs someone to "find" exactly what they're missing. Stock a bin. Leave supplies. Make poverty look like luck. Because no child should feel ashamed for needing shoes." . Let this story reach more hearts.... . Credit - unknown

THE SCHOOL THAT OUTPERFORMED WHITE AMERICAN SCHOOLS UNTIL WHITE PEOPLE DESTROYED IT. A Black high school that outperformed every white school in the country. Harvard admissions, Ivy League scholarships, PhDs, generals, scientists, leaders. wHITE PEOPLE WILL SAY IT NEVER HAPPEND

News to use, say his name, Walter Francis White. Here is Ashley w/IG to tell us his story, he uncovered the truth from within the crime scenes as nobody thought he was a black man. This is raw courage in action. #DemsUnited

“The decision was made to exclude me from the filmed production of Swan Lake because I was told my brown skin would disrupt the aesthetic.” ~ Misty Copeland When folks gripe about DEI, remind them who benefited from shutting out dancers like Copeland. That pattern runs through our whole history.

WEATHER ALERT: For Friday, December 5, all PGCPS schools and offices will open on a two-hour delay. Code Orange. We will reassess conditions & announce any additional schedule changes by 6:30 a.m., including a shift to a full closure if conditions warrant.

And that’s not even half of the corruption and chaos‼️

Stop what you’re doing, @bryanandrews_ has something to say! 👀 I co-sign every single word Bryan Andrews said in this video. I’m admittedly not the biggest country music fan. However, I have a small list of artists in my playlist. This is someone I can support and give money to. It would be cool if we could all go support this artist. We need to get back to lifting up the right people. 🇺🇸🙏🏼 YouTube: youtube.com/@bryanandrewsmus… Spotify: spotify.link/CKdv7xkruXb Twitter: x.com/bryanandrews Source: @couriernewsroom

There is no need for this kind of violence over parking. Would he have done this to a white woman who illegally parked? Hope she sues for a lot of money

I love this story! Imagine a song leading you back home! Salute to the Gullah for maintaining so much ancestral culture. ❤️
