America for black people is black civil war soldiers fighting for this country only to come back & be terrorized by the Klan. #TakeTheKnee
America for black people is black World War I soldiers coming back from Europe only to be lynched by their fellow citizens #TakeTheKnee
America for black people is black World War II soldiers fighting for this country only to be treated worst than German POWs #TakeTheKnee
America for black ppl is not being able to vote but having the gov send disproportionate amounts of your ppl to die in Vietnam #TakeTheKnee
America for black people is serving in Iraq only to come back to America and be murdered by a police officer. #taketheknee
My point is that black folks have always loved and served this country by the relationship has never been reciprocated. #TakeTheKnee
Contrary to what you racist assholes would like to believe we have always given much more to this country than you have & #TakeTheKnee
Have never gotten the fair and equal treatment that we deserved. #taketheknee
As a matter of fact, let me point out that during Dr. King's "I have a dream speech" Dr. King said that America #TakeTheKnee
Wrote a check which was the promise of equality for everyone in this country, including black people, which was marked as #TakeTheKnee
Insuffiencent funds, but that black folks would make damn sure that check was cashed and paid out. We, guess what? That check #TakeTheKnee
May not have been cashed and paid out during Dr. King's life, but we will make sure that it will be cashed and paid out in ours. #TakeAKnee

1. As much as folks talk about the dangers of gentrification in black and brown communities, I also think that we need to discuss how black and brown folks are fucked over institutionally by white flight. Now o. Just going to say up front before some woker than thou person
2. Decides to parachute into my mentions that I am not saying or implying that neighborhoods are inherently better off with white folks, but the fact of the matter is that the both private and public institutions seem to feel like they are. Imagine what it's like when you
3. Work all your life to move your family to what you feel to be a neighborhood that will afford your children more opportunities, only to slowly see the folks who live there start to move away once they see that their neighbors are building seasoning racks in their kitchen.

1. As a black person who has spent time in white spaces where you could smell the entitlement from a mile away, I am not shocked that Omorosa was able to get away with recording everything that they did. The thing about these spaces and white spaces in general is that black
2. Folks are generally viewed no different than day a chair, ie we are there but folks have no interest in interacting with us unless they want something from us. While Omarosa has been banished eternally from the cookout and all things black, I'm pretty sure she was still at
4. Least black enough to realize this and take advantage of the fact that folks were probably literally looking past her just to get to the next white person while she was in the room. Let this be a lesson to you racist white folks, just because y'all wanna pretend like we aren't

1. Between the rapid displacement of black and brown bodies, affirmative action and voting rights being gutted, public schools being dismantatled and underfunded, the attempt to strip naturalized Americans of their citizenship, ICE ramping up their attacks on the undocumented
2. Community, the continued attack on the sovereignty of the native community, among a host of other shit, I'm not feeling too hopeful for people of color in this country. Natives have been here forever and black folks have been here for 500 years, and it's literally taken us
3. Centuries to receive even the most basic of human rights violations, yet here we are watching even the little bit of humanity that this country there towards us being snatched away. I'm sorry to say but I feel like we are fucked for at least a generation. Those federal judges

1. Hey Georgians,

Did you know that we have the oppurtunity to make @staceyabrams the first black woman governor of any state? Did you know that @LucyWins2018 , whose son was murdered by a white man for playing his music too loud is running for Congress in GA's 6th district?
2. While I know this news is exciting to a lot of us, the only way that these women will actually win is if you register to vote. If you are unregistered then you have until October 9, 2018 to register. You can register to vote at this website:
registertovote.sos.ga.gov/GAOLVR/welcome…
3. Furthermore, considering Brian Kemp, who is running as the Republican nominee for governor has been on a crudade to have voters removed from the polls. I implore each and every one of you to go here & see if your voting information is up to date: tinyurl.com/zuexg6y
