let me say that this is the classic “just asking questions” approach to delegitimizing the achievements of black people. and critically, you don’t even have to be a black person who talks about race. simply being black to these people means you are “obsessed with race.”

Do you want to model after a European country or after America? Invest in people and community. Build more support. Put regulations in place to preserve what we love. Stop listening to the Conservative frothing about taxes and big government. It only serves the rich and makes Canada weaker.

"Public education is the key to breaking the cycle of poverty." UBI, universal health care and a functioning social safety net are the keys to breaking the cycle of poverty. Public education is good, and necessary, but let's stop pretending it's a magic bean.

Today, I found out that the Department of Defense banned the Well-Read Black Girl anthology by Glory Edim. I was one of its contributors. I'm really hurt right now. So if you have it in you, please buy books by Black women from independent bookstores.

Interesting and chilling that Trump’s post "He who saves his country, violates no law," was used by far right Norwegian murderer Anders Breivik ( who in 2011 killed 77 mostly kids & wounded 319 ) Breivik cited that purported Napoleon quote, to justify his attacks.
