It needs to be a term limitation for these people.

This highlights the distinction between black people worldwide and ADOS culturally.

Never really gave Black Excellence any real thought. She made some really good points.

I was Trying to explain that to kingkoopa

Pretty much. We have to be the best of the best to get the same rewards as the rest who are allowed to be average. Look at basketball for example. Nate Mcmillan was sacked, but then we had Terry Stots and other coaches who are allowed to sit around for years being average and it's not until the light is shined that they make a "change".

And? She wasn't elected to sing. Neither were any of the rest of them.

[tomdiginson]

I'll give her a pass cause she wasn't born here. I'm just laughing cause it reminds me of Lebron making up words singing to songs. But they just keep giving these things that are "nice" to black people, but never actually addressing our real concerns. Whereas when it comes to other groups they are giving them their demands and more.

I don't know if it's so much a not born here thing than regional, like really how many NYers know the song?

Yeah, I don't think the average person if called on is going to know the song.

Their ancestors were enslaved workers. Now they're getting $2,100 a year in reparations | CNN

For over a century, the Virginia Theological Seminary used Black Americans for forced labor. Now it's determined to make amends.
