Imagine calling yourself the winner of a game despite cheating at every stage. And you will begin to understand the arrogance of a racist.

If you believe race doesn't matter, it's because you're racist. Only a bigot would overlook racism impacting Black communities' access to food, clean air and water, housing, education, jobs, and investment. If anything, you're worse than outright racists cause you try to hide it

Every single person who opposes DEI is racist. Either directly or of the colorblind variety. Either way, they endorse the lie that White men are the most qualified group of people. And thus, the inclusion of others sacrifices quality. Only a bigot thinks this way

I don't trust people promoting apathy at this time when it's clear we need hope and unity.

I am grateful for my parents. They've helped to influence me in different ways. They've shown me what love is, giving me incredibly high standards. I try to show that same love to my other family members, friends, and community. I don't know what I'd do without their guidance.

Before public schools existed, Black mutual aid organizations founded some. They were admirable efforts to solve a systemic problem. Yet, many were overcrowded and had to turn away pupils. They were valuable but not a substitute for having freely accessible education.

We're seeing the cost of living skyrocket while wages stagnate. We're seeing hatred from white nationalists and nazis become accepted political ideologies. We're seeing the suppression of human rights. And ethnic cleansing projects whitewashed in the news. It's cruel and chaotic

Black people's prosperity is held ransom by White people's greed.

Black history is only offensive if you side with enslavers, segregationists, and other racists. It slaps if you have morality.

You hate Black men. So you justify every hardship they endure. You hate Black women. So you justify every hardship they endure. You hate Black children. So, you justify every hardship they endure. Your justifications are never-ending. If you stopped, you'd have to face the truth.

Saying "40 Acres and a Mule" in front of a racist president is revolutionary. It's a reminder that Black Americans have never forgotten the promises made and broken by the federal government. This debt must be paid.

Kendrick Lamar's Superbowl performance is why funding arts and humanities matters. We have Kendrick because his teacher introduced him to poetry and writing.
