Black graduates hold nearly twice the student debt of white graduates 4 years after graduation. Student debt isn't color-blind. It's a racial wealth gap accelerant.

FIFA's president can invent a farcical peace prize to flatter the ego of the president of the United States and spend months pandering to his political project, but Haiti's national team can't acknowledge their national struggle for independence because it's too "political"

🚨 BREAKING! 🤯
The Haiti National Team will have to change its uniform for the World Cup. 🇭🇹
FIFA has asked Saeta, the company responsible for the uniform's design, to alter it due to potential political messages. 👕
Haiti's jersey features a design of the Battle of Vertières from 1803. This battle was considered decisive for the country's independence following the conflict with France. ⚔️
