    Had Harriet Tubman compared the 70 slaves she freed to 4 million enslaved , she might have given up. Her hope and leadership were not based on the dire math of reality, but on a calculation of faith . Hope is not empirically demonstrated, it is morally chosen. #ThursdayThoughts

    While “weird,” cosplaying kidnapping of the VP seems like practice for crime. Call the FBI.

    Lo-Letha Hall was a mother, a friend, an entrepreneur and much more before being senselessly killed.

    I do hope Calcea Johnson and Ne’Kiya Jackson are being inundated with scholarships, college admissions, and academic prizes. Let’s say the word… BRILLIANT.

    A billionaire rapper is paying a price for spewing hate, but a millionaire cable TV host is still getting paid for hate. If you’re not AS CONCERNED about Carlson as Kanye, you’re discounting the moral price America pays when HATE, #Racism & #Antisemitism IS the BUSINESS MODEL.

    My beloved cousin Rev. William Brooks was found dead, asphyxiated, propped on a cinder block, his body jammed halfway thru a shed window, WITH keys to his shed door in his pocket. A SC police dept,, with racist history, says NO foul play. The family seeks state/fed investigation.

    Why must #CyntoniaBrown be LOCKED up for 51 YEARS for a murder committed as sexually enslaved 16 yr. old? And millionaire #JeffreyEpstein serves 13 MONTHS for molesting dozens of girls her age? If our criminal justice system punished HYPOCRISY, it would get the DEATH PENALTY.
