Sesame Street

I grew up in such a white village. I didn’t see black or brown people. I didn’t see people with visible disabilities.

Sesame Street showed me that I shared the world with everyone. Sesame Street - not my parents - taught me about equality. It made me a better person. #sesamestreet

I’m not sure how this got swept under the carpet, but President Biden’s efforts to combat junk fees will likely save Americans more than $20 billion annually. 👀

An asylum seeker didn’t raise your rent, a billionaire’s private equity firm did.

PONDER THIS…

Have you ever noticed that when shit goes down, people demand that minorities be held responsible for their entire ethnic group? White folks are exempt from that demand.

When a Black person does something bad, the entire Black community must answer for it. Why is that?

I’m a faithful follower of the church of FAFO. But it’s infuriating that we all have to FO when some of us didn’t FA.
