Two immigration agents with very Latin names shot and killed a white American Minnesotan.

My tinfoil hat is on because it’s very intriguing the ones who got caught on tape killing him are of Latin descent. There were like 6 agents there, one of whom removed himself from the scene after removing the gun

The Vikings want to blame him choosing family first instead of admitting that the GM/org wanted to be cheap and ride the rookie contract. It’s kinda nasty.

Kehlani calls out ICE at the #GRAMMYs :
“I really wanted to say f*ck ICE. But I think they needed some couth on the carpet or something. I'm a little couthless, ruthless. We're too powerful of a group to all be in the room at the same time and not make some kind of a statement.”

The ONLY surviving Gullah-Geechee community in Georgia just stopped developers with an 85% vote on Sapelo Island. They protected their language, culture, and ancestral land from gentrification. When Black communities unite, we win. This is power.

When you look at Black women you get to see beauty in SO MANY forms. An endless combination of tones, textures, features, etc. There isn’t one standard of beauty like many other ethnicities/cultures. It’s like wherever Blackness touches becomes that much more beautiful
In honor of the first day of Black History Month, what is your favorite NON laborious thing about black women?
SN: fellas will be tomorrow so get to thinking.

In 1939 Miami Klan rode thru Overtown in a 50 car caravan dangling nooses, posted at least 25 crosses + set them ablaze. Then hung a life-size dummy in the community to discourage Blacks from voting. The result was the largest Black voter turnout in the history of the city. #BHM #VoteLocal✊🏽

The one in February was specifically created for and by American Black people. (Canada Germany, Jamaica adopted it later and recognize it at this time as well)

You want to exclude non American Black people from Black history month?
I get that it started in America as a way to honor our history but what benefit is there from excluding non American Black people?
Asking sincerely, I’m curious
