Mediocre white man trying to erase the achievements of a Black man because he knows he'll never measure up.
Yeah. Gotta make sure those minorities aren’t recognized for their contributions to the country.

🚨 JUSTICE? 2nd Christian School Teacher found guilty of raping the same 15 year-old student — sentenced to 40 years Student breaks down in court as second Christian school teacher Bonnie Brown sentenced for raping him. A jury found her guilty after a trial that included testimony about the abuse. She was sentenced to 40 years in prison, with the first 15 to be served behind bars. 61-year-old Sherri Maudlin has also been sentenced after admitting to raping the same student. Two so-called educators at the same Christian school turned monsters and preyed on one child. How many more Christian schools will let teachers rape students before real justice is served?

Derek Chauvin, police officer sworn to protect and serve, pressed his knee into George Floyd’s neck for more than nine minutes, betrayed the public trust, and helped ignite a global reckoning on police brutality. He was sentenced to 22 years. Karmelo Anthony, a Black teenager, involved in a confrontation that ended in tragedy was sentenced to 35 years. Whether you agree with every aspect of either case is not the point. The question is why America reserves its harshest punishments for Black defendants while extending greater grace, understanding, and leniency to white ones. Justice cannot be blind if race continues to shape who is viewed as a threat, who is viewed as redeemable, and whose life is considered worthy of empathy. The disparity speaks for itself.

Hegseth removed Chappie James's portrait from the Air Force Art Gallery and left the wall empty. James flew 179 combat missions across two wars. First Black four-star general in US military history. Curry passed that portrait every day for a decade. When it came down, he retired. The wall is still empty.
Sec. Hegseth’s actions continue to be despicable – and they certainly aren’t representative of the Army I served in. We’ve repeatedly seen how this White House has disparaged and mistreated both active-duty service members and the veterans who raised their hand to serve this country. I’m glad that people are continuing to stand up and speak out. theatlantic.com/magazine/202…

On Sunday June 7th in Leesburg, Georgia a Black family was gathered on Autumn Leaf Drive for a peaceful family reunion with over 20 children and elderly adults present. Jeffrey Tyler Kinzer drove past the gathering and began screaming racial slurs including the N-word at the family. The family chose to let it go. Minutes later Kinzer came back, this time on foot, dressed in body armor and armed with an AR-15 style rifle, and opened fire on the crowd. Marine veteran Ramell Green, a family member in attendance, drew his weapon and returned fire to protect his family while others ran for cover. Elderly women were seen diving under cars to escape the gunfire. Kinzer was shot during the exchange, transported to the hospital and later booked into the Lee County Jail. He has only been charged with Aggravated Assault. The family is demanding Hate Crime charges. Ring camera footage captured Kinzer hurling racial slurs before the attack. The Lee County Sheriff’s Office has confirmed additional charges are pending. This family deserved to celebrate in peace. Justice has not been fully served yet. 🎥: @walbnews10

🚨42-year-old Trump cultist Chad Rusher, of Bloomfield, Indiana was arrested on June 9th and faces five counts of possession of child s*xual abuse material and one count of meth possession. On Facebook, Rusher was posted pro-Confederate imagery, shared memes glorifying ICE shooting Renee Good, and declared “TRUMP 2024 and for life.” He also shared anti-trans content captioned “Dam straight!!!!” and spread disinformation about Palestinian protesters “storming the White House.” This is who the MAGA movement attracts and protects — and the Epstein culture comes from the top-down. Rusher has been booked into the Greene County Jail.

Tell your children about Ruby Bridges, the first Black child to integrate an all-white public elementary school in Louisiana. She turned 71 last year-she's only 71.

Another revelation of Trump’s sexual deviancy with minors. He actually hosted and funded Epstein’s underage sex parties at his place in Palm Beach, according to newspapers in Florida. My fellow Americans, when enough is enough? For god sakes do something.
