Biliary pretended they were going to rebuild Haiti but instead, let their friends build factories for designer clothes and exploit Haitian labor, interjected in a min wage negotiations and installed puppets as leaders.
Where’s the libs? chilling? wearing those designer clothes?

We Need To Get Healthier, Mentally, Physically, Politically and Socially
YOUR mask and YOUR vaccination won’t protect YOU but I should wear a mask to protect YOU? I wear a mask to protect MYSELF and MY family. I don’t ask anyone to wear a mask unless they are coming into my house. Y’all gotta get a grip. Fix YOUR behavior and your HEALTH. Y’all will say the disease is airborne and that animals can get it. If they can get it, they can spread it. I haven’t seen a masked beaver in a bit.
Y’all talking about masks and vaccines, where’s the major health initiative to reduce obesity, heart disease etc? Where are the government PSA’s that added sugars in processed food is the main culprit of bad health? It’s been more than 2 years, has your health improved? Anxiety, isolation and depression are also bad for your physical health.
When we say that the U.S. needs universal healthcare, this is what why. Y’all think healthy people, who contract COVID are just dying? Or are they not getting treatment early enough because they can’t afford it? And by the time they figure out that they have to afford it, it’s too late. What happened to the monoclonal antibodies? Remember throughout Delta, it wasn’t made readily available even though it was more effective than the vaccines. Not a conspiracy. Facts.
It’s clear that a populace with bad health won’t stand a chance against COVID. That’s the answer. Not these B.S. vaccines that do not stop the spread AND allow for long COVID & death. It’s a disgrace that Americans hate their neighbors but love this country 🇺🇲 that don’t love you back. Somehow, health issues are now the responsibility of your neighbors and not a discussion for you and your doctor.
Also, when did everyone start trusting everything the government said? We’re living in frightening times. I see fascism’s a coming
LONELINESS
People get into relationships for all types of reasons. They fall in love. They lust for a person and want to be near them. They are homeless; hobosexuality. Or they don’t want to be alone. That last one is the most dangerous. And I have a saying that I repeat to myself to keep me on point. “Don’t let loneliness and desperation get you into to a situation you can’t get out of.” Hard stop.
Most times, unless we are dealing with a narcissist who is able really hide who they are, we see the warning signals and we ignore them. #BecauseLonely At the end of the day, we need to be comfortable enough with ourselves to know that being alone doesn’t equate to loneliness. We have to be confident and secure and make sure not to take less than what we deserve. From anyone.
Black African Immigrant Woman, Therese Patricia Okoumou, Climbs the Statue of Liberty and Black Americans Ask Why She Would Protest For Mexicans
The year is 2018 and Black Americans, Descendants of the Black Africans who were shipped to North America, and became victims of the Trans Atlantic Slave Trade, still don’t understand that Black people are bigger than African Americans. Black people are global. But even here in The United States of America, these African Americans don’t understand that other Black people, who emigrated from other countries, after the Trans Atlantic Slave Trade, have a different experience from “African Americans.”
Coming to a country on a student visa or travel visa and staying is cheaper than going through proper channels.
Many Black people weren’t born here. Some came legally and others came illegally. The immigration laws worked against people of color, especially Black people, and they still do. Getting here legally takes money. Across the globe, Black people are impoverished. Coming to a country on a student visa or travel visa and staying is cheaper than going through proper channels.
#Therese Patricia Okoumou is an immigrant from the Democratic Republic of the Congo. She is an activist. She works hard. It would be easy for her to just live her life and not worry about what happens to others. Why did Patricia Okoumou decide to fight for others? Because she’s a fighter and that’s what fighters do. If we continue to only worry about ourselves, or our immediate families, what kind of world would this be?
Why should anyone be concerned with any issue that doesn’t affect them? Because that’s how change happens.
So when Black people ask why would a Black person worry about the rights or fates Mexicans, it’s quite baffling. And it displays a new level of ignorance. Are there not Black Mexicans? That’s one, and two, no struggle is won without solidarity. Why are we looking at Mexicans as our enemies anyway. Technically, they were here first. And if Black people buy into these immigration policies that wreak of nationalism and racism, why should anyone look at any policies that affect Black people in the majority, if they aren’t Black? Why should anyone be concerned with any issue that doesn’t affect them? Because that’s how change happens.
It pains me to see traditionally educated Black Americans that are ignorant of these facts. It pains me even more to see them speak on these facts with such conviction. Add to this, a huge social media following and it’s a recipe for disaster. It’s can also serve as ground zero for spreading commonly held misconceptions to the young and impressionable who rely on these opinion pieces written by these educated folks to bring them understanding and fresh insight. They aren’t looking for regurgitated garbage but many times, that’s what they find.
We must engage in actions that affect us directly, indirectly and actions that don’t affect us at all.
If we plan to see a different world for our children, we have to make a different world for our children. We must engage in actions that affect us directly, indirectly and actions that don’t affect us at all. Oppression Olympics is useless, Black solidarity shouldn’t stop at borders, and lastly, we, as Black Americans, cannot continue to support oppressive policies because we’re not the drawing the short straw.
