We're gonna have a hell of a fight on our hands. Because my ancestors and my father didn't make their sacrifices and shed blood just so some spoiled rich brat from Jamaica Village (Jamaica, Queens is much rougher and Nassau County is much richer) Queens to just walk in and be king. I don't give a good god damn what those konservative klowns on the Supreme Court say.
White people keep asking Black folks like me, "what will it take to make it good again between us?" It'll take a John Brown type of effort. For us Black folks, it's just "Tuesday in Amerikkka". And we know we're going to have to fight to save the rights our ancestors fought hard to get. And we ain't giving up s*it. You want to make it good again? Get into that fight, do what you can and have our backs. Earn it! Especially with Black women-they got betrayed and they took it real hard. Y'all got a long row to hoe; better get to it.
Meanwhile, this is the mission statement:
