Happy #BlackHistoryMonth! I thought I would share on here an article I wrote and posted on LinkedIn for #BHM in 2018 that was inspired by a tweet by one of my favorite Twitter mutuals Tiffany Graves.

Trump posted a racist video depicting the Obamas as apes. My piece isn’t about the insult. It’s about what followed: minimal objection, mostly silence, no consequence.
I argue that when racism carries no political cost, enforcement of anti-discrimination laws will bend toward whoever holds power.

Excellent single but probably Prince’s best during a period where he was putting out hit after hit.

Imagine hating the person that died MORE than the person that killed her...
Someone doused Renee Good’s Minneapolis memorial and a nearby pile of wood with gasoline and started a fire at about 9 p.m. Tuesday.
