Acknowledging that some Black men have caused harm doesn’t negate the trauma many Black men silently endure from women, systems, and society. Healing isn’t a one-sided journey. Y’all chose men who hurt you, ignored the ones who wouldn’t, and now you want sympathy for loyalty to dysfunction. That’s not love, that’s lack of accountability. Choose better.

POWERFUL: Houston #Texans QB CJ Stroud always gives glory to his God JESUS CHRIST the first thing every time in his post-game interview.
Stroud’s parents instilled in him, from a young age, the practice of praying & giving glory to the Lord.

"Sandy Darity put out there that the average black family has a net worth of $8. For those who don't know, your net worth is what you own minus what you owe.
So if the city demolishes the homes that you own...you're you're taking generational wealth away from people and you're putting them in an apartment. They have to start all over again. And what I want people to understand is that if you can be frustrated about Palestinians losing their homes in the West Bank, the settler violence that takes place there, you should also be frustrated about the homes that have been stolen and are still being stolen from predominantly black communities right here in the United States."- @SabbySabs2

It is interesting that when discussing One Battle After Another, when Black folks point out the racism and fetishization of Black women, white fans say "You don't understand the movie."

Today is the biggest Bears game since I don’t know when. This one will be different for me, I won’t be watching from the comfort of my own man cave or at a friends house.
I’ll be watching on my laptop from the corner unit in the oncology ward, as my youngest daughter receives chemotherapy to fight Stage 4 Kidney cancer.
I’ve never felt so close to hell being surrounded by rooms of balding, crying children and one of them being my own.
I have hope that through it all God is still good. I am confident of this.
But mann would it ever help if the Bears beat the Packers today. 🐻⬇️
That's a good guy. I want to start doing this.

“The Holocaust didn’t start with gas chambers. It started with paperwork, detention, and the normalization of ‘undesirables.’”
History is a warning, not just a memory. From 1933 to today, the process of detention and dehumanization follows a chillingly familiar path.
