Anti-DEI is an attack on civil rights by segregationists. Most white "allies" are completely silent while segregationists attack Black people and our civil rights.
These silent "allies" without a shred of shame or self-awareness, fully expect Black voters to make sacrifices to save them at midterms

Daily reminder that the government didn't invent Black History Month and the government can't take it away.
Same goes for Juneteenth & every other Black celebration.

Yeah, I think I'm done with the news and the socials for the day.
Because my God, in this country, we're told "it's not about you, Black people," and I agree (and would LOVE for it not to be)...
But every day, I swear, we have to say...

“Why haven’t Black people ever built a prosperous town or their own?!”
We did…several times. They just killed us, looted our homes and burned it down. Tulsa is likely the most well known of these incidents but there are many more.
