He left us with an awesome catalog of music, one of my favs though. The Harder They Come soundtrack for the movie of the same name released in 1972 really put reggae music on the map internationally. He was a legend. Rest in Power.

While yea Gavin & Tanner are fools worthy of ridicule, their fantasies must still be viewed in the context of every modern challenge Haiti faces; that the entire west set aside every difference to blackball Haiti from trade & ensure its poverty as punishment for refusing enslavement & dehumanization

GODDAMN. You plp (of all hues ) are up here stanning another career politician. I voted for the best opponent Zohran Mamdani. He’s showing his cards already. A meeting w/Trump isn’t a move for THE PEOPLE, it’s simply a bow, a tip of the hat towards the ruling class wyt oligarchs.

At 17, Gary Tyler was sentenced to death by an all white jury for a crime he didn’t commit. He was released from prison at age 57, after spending 42 years behind bars.

Wrongful convictions are a feature, not a bug, of the death penalty. We must end it once and for all.

Tyler’s case shows how bias, fear, and discrimination drive wrongful convictions — and why confronting racial injustice in the legal system remains urgent today.

Paul Robeson a true renaisscance man and epitome of Black american greatness is given attention

It's a hypothetical but I'm pretty certain, the mayor of Chicago Brandon Johnson would not be standing next to Trump grinning. Most Black men with any self respect wouldn't stand next to some orange peckerwood like Trump after he spent months insulting them & their intelligence.

It is not only possible, but very often that people beat the (reciprocal) love out of their kids.

Knowingly/unknowingly..

The cycle has to be given serious scrutiny if one is not willing to break it completely.

The US military has a very number of white supremacists in their ranks - not my opinion, this is what the DOD has reported themselves.

I've always thought his debut album, 2Pacalypse Now, was his most revolutionary work. It's still probably my favorite of his.

I never understood why just Target? Walmart also rolled back their DEI programs & Walmart is one of the largest employers in the nation.

The death penalty grew out of this country’s brutal practice of lynching.

When lynching became politically and socially unpalatable, the death penalty became the state sanctioned alternative.

No one should be killed by the state. The time to end the racist, unjust, and cruel death penalty is NOW.

Absolute BS Eurocentric babble. I love how they put in these words like "oldest complete" or "known". For what you do not know only means you lack the knowledge that the San people (Khoisan) have ancestorial hymns that go back 50,000 years. Hell 1400 BC Egypt (Kemet) was at it's highest peak. FOH
