REAL tired of all you shits posting your feelings at a Black woman when there are races in your own damn states you should probably focus on instead. It's telling you're awfully comfortable posting at a BW and then block when called out for it.

Incidentally, while we’re talking about the new Harry Potter show, do you know what’s massively more harmful to a child than being trans or having trans classmates? Being a child actor. Maybe if the UK actually cared about kids, they’d do something about THAT and leave trans kids the hell alone.

For the alleged Talarico supporters who continue to have smoke for Jasmine Crockett, your candidate has spoken. So are your demands of he, really support of him? Or just an excuse to play plantation owner to Crockett and demand herlabor? Because he's rendered things explicit.

Why were US Democrats wearing Ghana’s kente cloth?
9 June 2020Why were they wearing it?
The kente scarves were given out to the congressmen and women by the Congressional Black Caucus, according to NBC News reporter Leigh Ann Caldwell.

This congressional group meets to pursue legislative goals around greater equality for black people.

‘A Latino problem’: National Democrats clash with Andy Beshear over Texas governor’s race
By
Edward-Isaac Dovere
Edward-Isaac DovereKentucky Gov. Andy Beshear hoped being chair of the Democratic Governors Association this midterms year would raise his profile and connections ahead of his expected 2028 run for president.

But it’s also created an opening to ramp up pressure on him, with frustrations spilling into the open this week as multiple Texas Democratic members of Congress and national group leaders accused him of putting his book tour and potential 2028 activity ahead of helping Democratic nominee Gina Hinojosa win the Texas governor’s race.Q&A
Andy Beshear Thinks Democrats Should Start Talking Like People
The Kentucky governor weighs in on Democrats’ future — and how his party can compete in red America.So what are you telling those folks in Iowa and Ohio?

Number one, I stand up for all my convictions. I fight discrimination in any form. But I spend 80 percent of my time on things that matter to 100 percent of the people of Kentucky and the American people. It’s that idea that when people wake up in the morning, they’re not thinking about the next political race. They’re thinking about their job and whether they can afford what their family needs. That not only helped me win early on, but it’s helped me govern. People know that they might disagree with me on one or two things, but if I spend 80 percent of my time on the things that matter most to them, I don’t move a state or a country to the right or the left, I just move it forward for everyone with no one being left out. The second thing I try to do is just talk like a normal human being. The Democratic Party at different times has talked at and not to people. It’s even talked down to people, which is wrong. Our words have to have meaning.

It's not that this country has never had state sanctioned murder for mass comsumption, it's just that at some point it became taboo to say that you wanted to actually see a lynching, but our current government is trying to get rid of that taboo and take America back to its roots.

Putin told Iran the locations of our warships. Today, Trump rewarded him by lifting sanctions and allowing American dollars to fuel Russia’s war machine. Our troops are in harm’s way, and the President cut a deal with the adversary putting a target on their backs.
