  1. Why? Because, qualified black people were not being included. If there wasn't a criteria, some businesses wouldn't hire any blacks. Black owned businesses hire white people, and I dont think that black people get bonus points on civil service exams. How many people got jobs merely because they are white? Black only clubs are not legal. At one point, he general consensus amongst publishers was the notion that black people dont read. Growing up, I dont remember reading any fiction novels written by a black author, and there are books where every character is white. "Waiting to Exhale" was the first book that I read that had a black author. I was 24, at the time. I didnt learn about Medgar Evers, the Tuskegee Airman, Malcolm X, etc in traditional history classes. My youngest son, who graduated from High School, 2 years ago, didn't know who any of these people were until I told him. I didnt know about the women depicted in the movie "Hidden Figures". They were called human calculators, until last year. How many family friendly shows are on network tv, now? Blackish is the only one I can think of at this time. At one time, some thought that black men weren't smart enough to play quarterback in the NFL. That was only about 30 years ago.
  2. They were not offering it to young adults at the time. Now that they are they are going to get inoculated. My husband will once he is required to see patients face to face. Right now, he is doing telephonic nursing. He doesn't go anywhere.
  3. Whe have those things, because we weren't well represented. How many shows do you know of that are centered around black families? I have never heard of a black only club. White history is celebrated every month. My son majored in history at Baylor. He said that he only learned about 3 black people in those traditional classes. He learned about a lot of African Americans in his African American studies class.
  4. Who says they dont need it? I work for a world renowned hospital system. The doctors are saying something different than you. You need to find better sources.
  5. Why shouldn't children get the vaccine?
  6. The National Vaccine Injury Compenation Program. [Hidden Content]
  7. I received the vaccine in late Dec, and early Jan. I am still alive.
  8. I dont hate Asians.
  9. There are rich white men that date outside of their race. What does that mean? Robert Deniro is married to a black woman. David Bowie was married to Iman.
  10. Hispanic describes an ethnicity, it is not a race. One can be a white hispanic or black hispanic etc. I can't believe that you dont know this.
  11. Your ignorance is astonishing.
  12. The United States Census Bureau uses the ethnonyms Hispanic or Latino to refer to a person of Cuban, Mexican, Puerto Rican, South or Central American, or other Spanish culture or origin regardless of race and states that Hispanics or Latinos can be of any race, any ancestry, any ethnicity
  13. Vanessa is of Mexican ddescent and Michael Jordan's wife is Cuban. They are both considered Hispanic. Rapper Cardi B is married to rapper Offset, Jennifer Lopez dated Sean "Puff Daddy" Coombs
  14. Michael Jordan is married to a Hispanic woman. I think that the late Kobe Bryant's wife is hispanic
  15. I dont think it is rare.
  16. My family has several Black/Hispanic mixed babies.
  17. Yep, but the assertion is ridiculous, so I wanted to clarify.🤔
  18. You are a buffoon. I never said that all cops are bad. There are some good and some horrible officers.
  19. That's Makyla's dad. I don't know why he was attacking a teenager.
  20. I know. The officier should be commended for saving a life. Apparently, the fight started because of an unmade bed. [Hidden Content]
  21. I am very frustrated with what some people are saying. This is an open and shut case. I feel sorry for the officer.
  22. I agree. He does have the tools to be a great officer.
