NEWS, HISTORY, POLITICS AND ACTIVISM FROM THE AFRICAN DIASPORA!
Several powerful statements. Even though I’m not a fan of BET, I’m glad the stage could be used for this moment of positivity and call to action.
I was saddened to hear of certain other black individuals negating Jesse Williams because he is a light-skinned man and it also saddens me that black people only know how to rally to calls for action when it comes from a ‘stand-out’ individual, like they can’t see injustice with their own eyes.
Good share.
