If you're upset and offended that a plantation that enslaved countless Black people has burned down then just pretend it was a book on Black history and you'll feel better. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Hey so while we’re on the topic
At least seven states, including Louisiana, use prison labour in their governor’s mansions, either unpaid or paid well below minimum wage.
If a Black and a white man are convicted for the same crime, I’ll let you guess who’s getting the longer sentence.

Happy b’day “When Doves Cry” — released 41 yrs ago today.
On his last night of mixing, Prince started removing instrument tracks, said engineer Peggy McCreary. “The last thing he did was he punched that bass out. He smiled at me and said, ‘Ain’t nobody gonna believe I’d do this.’ And he did.” 🕊️

Kroger is allegedly overcharging consumers by listing expired sales prices on shelves and charging full price at checkout.
