  7. 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

    Jus think if the black towns woulda been left alone to thrive.

  8. Come on media, we are not blind…so, if someone is 99.9 white and 0.1 black, the media now calls them black. This is why the media has no credibility anymore and for my proud black male friends, it is degrading and aggravates the hell out of them. It is like calling a trans-male, a woman. What does that say to an accomplished woman? Stop always seeing color and gender. The media constantly divides-and-rules us…for who?

  9. You know that these workers must have an elivated pride .
