#BlackLivesMatter yet another #BlackLifeGone

Float with me on this.. I've been thinking a lot lately about the Haitian Revolution, not really sure why. Couldn't even really tell you where it came from, but i've been doing some HEAVY research on it; and today in one of our frequent conversations, lol , I'm going just going to share with you, what he has explained to me....but only because he told me too lmao...(y’all probably think i'm tripping but just hear me out lol!!!) Now, to avoid getting too deep (because i can get deep lol), essentially, the african slaves that were brought to what was then, Saint-Domingue, revolted against the white slave owners, and took back what is now, Haiti..they killed all the white people...Allofem.

What's Happening To Our Black Men?

For the past few days, single mothers has been a topic that i’ve been hearing a lot about. It sparked my interest when I saw a tweet about it. The tweet was about a predominantly black youth department where 80% of the kids didn’t have a father present. It went on to ask “Why men traditionally gotta be awful?”, in which I replied, “If God hadn’t put Joseph into place, Mary would have been a single mother”.

Also on the front page, was a picture of a group of kids; all “dressed to the nines as flappers and mobsters.” Machine Gun Kelly, Al Capone, Eliot Ness and Coco Chanel, just to name a few. The article begins by stating that: “It was the era of gangsters, Prohibition, and all that glitters.” It then goes on to tell us about the invention of the juicer. Which they even demonstrated by making lemonade. The students were taught about the art deco style, choosing a “celebrity” of the era and creating their own art pieces. The program ended with a feast from a variety of foods popular in that decade...peanut butter cups, chow mein, C...
