…..This morning and checking how much damage last night’s rainstorm reeked on Hamburg….and a drop of water hit me on my head….and I took it as a holy blessing….so I looked up into the sky and said…. “Thank you….amen”….hey, at least it wasn’t pigeon shit….moving on….
1.3 MILLION TEACHERS, 100,000 PROFESSORS NOW UNDER “EDUCATIONAL GAG ORDERS”…..110 bills seek to restrict discussions of race, U.S. history and LGBTQ+ people in schools and colleges have been introduced in state legislatures…..and 10 became law….according to the free-speech watchdog group called….PEN America….there are more than 40 legal restrictions on educator speeches in 21 states….39 of these measures were aimed solely at shutting down discussions of LGBTQ+ people…..and topics in elementary and high schools…..and most are modelled after the Florida law that critics refer to as the…. “Don’t Say Gay” act….the laws have been cited by people demanding book bans…..and in the elimination of anti-bullying efforts….these efforts to stifle educating people is nothing new….do you remember…..
JULIE HAYDEN….She was a 17-year-old Black school teacher who was murdered in 1874….for teaching Black children in Hartsville, Tennessee….by members of the White Man’s League….a White supremacist group whose sole purpose was….the restoration of White supremacy….three days after her arrival in Hartsville….at 2:00 am on August 21th….members of the White League invaded the home of Emery and Pink Lowe where she was staying….entered her room and fatally shot her while she slept…..and as usual….justice turned a blind eye…..but eventually charges were filed against Pat Lyons and J. Brown Sanders….true members of the White Man’s League…..and they were released on $3,500 bail….and no one else was ever arrested or tried for her murder….and neither were they…..don’t you just love it….when history repeats?
FIRST TRANS FESTIVAL TAKES PLACE IN KARACHI, PAKISTAN…..Well, that’s bold….in Pakistan?…..cool!……the Transgender community organized a rally and a festival at the Art Council…..to demand their rights and job opportunities without further delay……the participants started a march from the Press Club Chowk to the Arts Council of Pakistan…..while carrying place cards in favor of their demands….and chanted slogans demanding the government to provide them equal rights.
COLIN KAEPERNICK WAS BLACKLISTED FROM NFL FOR ONE REASON….And I believe this was the reason…..it wasn’t because he began kneeling for the national anthem….it’s not only because he stood up for Black people….it’s because he’s somebody who….with the way the NFL does things…..couldn’t be controlled….so the presence of someone like him in the locker room….would be considered a threat….he’s a threat to how the NFL does business because Colin is able to make people think…..and if you check history…. a Black man who can persuade others to think….is a dangerous person….and the NFL doesn’t want that in their locker rooms….NFL owners do not like things that are unpredictable….and Kaepernick fits into the category….and some of you…..I hope……will take the time to revisit history when it comes to Black leaders….what happened to them….when they tried to organize and protest against an unjust system?
NOAH’S ARK HAS BEEN DISCOVERED BY ARCHAEOLOGISTS…..Yeah….ok…..I’ll believe that when you take the time to explain to me…..where in the hell did Cain’s wife come from?……I mean,….like,….girlfriend just showed up….AND……why God put a “Hit” out on Cain’s life?….was God “THAT MAD”…..because he took out his brother?…..AND….now y’all found “THE” boat?……the one the penguins walked to….so they wouldn’t have to tread water…..for 40 days?……..so, moving on…..
