To all my friends sending celebratory messages about Juneteenth, please allow me this moment to rain on your parade.
Today is a day of Preparation not celebration!
• Schools are more segregated today than they were 70 years ago with the Supreme Court’s Brown v Board of Ed. Decision.
• More Blacks are in poverty today than we were in 1954.
• Voting rights, Affirmative Action and DEI are being rescinded.
• States are banning the teaching of African history.
• Trump and his supporters are preparing to make America White Again.
African Americans are freer today than our ancestors were in 1865 but we’re still a long way from Freedom. We’re Freeish!
“Mental Slavery is worse than physical slavery because the mentally enslaved believe they are free and don’t realize the chains are on their minds.”
