  2. When we look at history, when it comes to slavery, the klan, Jim Crow, isolating minorities in ghettos in major cities, we can all look at the US, and think; how great we could have been had it not been for democrats.

  3. Look at MSNBC trying to use Hip-Hop artists and greats for propaganda 😂😂😂… Black Thought/The Roots are legends in the game… Stop exploiting us for political gain, while we get virtual signaling 🤦🏽‍♂️

  4. Earlier today, I had a most terrifying insight/revelation that has traumatized me and threw me into an unrecoverable tailspin of unprecedented proportions; it's an authentic inflection point of context-dependent social constructs, unrelenting oppression and horrifying stigma: “Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives.” Heartbreaking! Simply gut-wrenching! To make a long story short (at the end of the day), this is my exhilarating lived experience, navigating my journey of perpetual adversity and unprecedented inequity, as I make the world a better place, through stunning social justice activism and by raising awareness. I'm so authentic! Hate Has No Home Here! Black Lives Matter! Trans Rights Are Human Rights! Kindness Always!
