#Juneteenth is NOT a diverse holiday. It is a holiday commemorating the official end of slavery that came about through formerly enslaved Afrikans TAKING UP ARMS and putting down the Confederate States of America BY FORCE. Everyone can celebrate with US but this is all about US
As we celebrate #Juneteenth, let’s make some of these racist CEOs who are so vocal with their hate and misinformation that they’re willing to go on rants about “African American pimps” on #LinkedIn. Here’s one…
The Civil War is one of the most misunderstood, misinterpreted event in US history. The propaganda machine supporting the losers of that war, the Confederate States of America and all their allies (Native American slave owners) have distorted the REAL narrative of the story
As we celebrate #Juneteenth2023, let us highlight the many racist CEOs in this country who are extremely butt hurt that Black people have a national holiday recognizing our ancestors’ triumph over enslavement. Here’s one… #RacistCEO #Juneteenth2023 #ExposeHate
As we commemorate #Juneteenth2023, let us reflect on the TRUE SIGNIFICANCE of this holiday, and that is formerly enslaved Afrikans FREED THEMSELVES by taking up arms and putting down the Confederate insurrection called the CIVIL WAR. 💯❤️🖤💚

"Mumia Abu Jamal Continues His Fight for Freedom" - @freedomrideblog speaks with Johanna Fernandez on Black Agenda Radio: blackagendareport.com/mumia-abu-jama… @lovenotphear #FreeMumia
Remember that time on #TheView when @JoyVBehar lied about Jews never owning slaves while simultaneously expressing outrage over Twitter not banning @LouisFarrakhan? I do. And I will NEVER forget it…
Interesting how the media labels the Honorable Minister @LouisFarrakhan as antisemitic like it’s a foregone conclusion or like it’s undisputed fact when it’s NOT; It’s not shocking that he has strong support from the Black community, we JUST DON’T BELIEVE THE LIES
Brief disclaimer for members of the Jewish community who feel they are the thought police of Black people. YOU DO NOT OWN US! We are entitled to OUR OWN opinions and OUR OWN freedom of expression. We don’t care how many times y’all cry antisemitism oftentimes we DON’T agree w you
BIG FACTS
If this ain’t the fakest non-apology I’ve ever heard in my entire life… 🤨
Brazilian legend Pelé has passed away at 82, one of the greatest of all time who changed the game. A man with a god-given talent, one of the names who will remain forever in the memory. All thoughts with the family. RIP, legend 🕊️
I truly want to see @RealSkipBayless get roasted today by @ShannonSharpe for his extremely insensitive comments about Demar Hamlin. He definitely wouldn’t have said that if this would have happened to Tom Brady
@MikeLaChance33 I agree!! With liars like Joy Behar who would get on national TV and tell such a blatant LIE that “Jews never owned any slaves” that type of disinformation should NOT be tolerated #CancelTheView
Newsflash: American Jews were INDEED involved in the slave trade. Both in the North and the South. Aaron Lopez was the largest Jewish slave owners in Newport RI. Judah P. Benjamin was the Confederacy’s 3rd in command (Secretary of State). It’s not antisemitism to state the FACTS

@Strong_BlackMan @JoyVBehar @LouisFarrakhan I’m sure holding on to that bit will serve you well in the future.
The “powers that be” come up with the most asinine, ridiculous, & completely backwards ideologies, that go against everything millennia of human nature have taught us makes sense. One demographic buys, believes, abides by, & promotes all of it on a religious level. Sick stuff.
@ProfBlacktruth Thank you brother for reminding us. The great master teacher, Dr. chancellor Williams..#BlackTwitter.
@MicahhParsons11 According to court-martial records, Paul Whelan actually received a bad-conduct discharge from the US Marines in 2008 and his rank was reduced to that of corporal when he was found guilty of bouncing checks and the attempted theft of $10,000 during a tour in Iraq.
Soooo the CEO of the #ADL just admitted this smoothly on the #BreakfastClub about #YE and their “J-ish power”….. 🤦🏿♂️ It just kept getting worse every time he spoke….Calling it a “myth” after saying: “If we don’t GET HIM”…😐 Can’t hide this racism anymore…
I haven’t heard the ADL have any outrage about this. No upheaval of condemnation from Rabbis, comedians, media or accusations of Amazon being antisemitic ? No 6 steps for Amazon ? Nothing ? So was it really about fighting perceived antisemitism or was it about something else ?
Amazon's CEO announced that they will not remove the film that Kyrie Irving shared on Twitter: “As a retailer of content to hundreds of millions of customers with a lot of different viewpoints, we have to allow access to those viewpoints, even if they are objectionable."

@Strong_BlackMan No, McConnell slowed the confirmation process, leaving a number of district and appeals court seats open for when the white nationalists would assume power. #Trump ‘s stolen presidency is his windfall. And perhaps a fatal blow to the concept of judicial supremacy.
