Slave owners were paid $300 for every slave they had to free the 2019 equivalent to that is $9000 per slave. I want you to think of how much of a head start that was for so many white families think of how much land and building costs were back then.
In 1862 when the gov started selling land the price was $1 per acre. The wealth that’s been established off the work, sale and then “freeing” of black people is bullshit. And the people who were actually held as slaves got NOTHING. That’s sick.
Anyways white friends this is what we mean by white privilege. Nobody is accusing you of the acts of your ancestors, you weren’t around and a lot of you don’t agree with them BUT you benefit.
it been brought to my attention that not every slave owners got paid. You still benefited the work of slaves built those old family homes, the work of slaves built schools we couldn’t go to. The gov didn’t seize your land when they ended slavery so your family still has property
Communities were built on those acres that only white people were allowed to buy in and used redlining to further keep us out. Please get tf. Tysm. Anyways BLACK LIVES MATTER. Go sign some petitions.
Also I’m not arguing facts with anyone under this thread. The “I’m from France how did I benefit” tweets are dumb. White supremacy positively effects ALL white people to this day. I’m not a descendant of American slaves but I want reparations for my people because it will
positively impact my community as a whole and make a better life for my children and theirs. It’s not hard to figure out how group economics work friends. Go read a fucking book and stop trying to be argumentative.
Once I got comfortable being alone and realized that I really didn’t need anything for anyone. My mentality on everything changed. At this point if you can’t add anything to my life you’re an inconvenience.
If you want to support a black business buy skincare products from my mother and I! We make body butters, scrubs and more

Fabolous is wild as fuck for that. Ima have to cancel him too. That makes like 25 artists I can’t mess with because they’re abusive. I don’t wanna say men are trash but...
Kids having to grow without a parent really be tearing me the fuck up. Y’all are killing active fathers. Ruining your own communities, people’s families and legacy over nothing.
Insecure is a reminder to be direct with your issues with people you love. The moments of being uncomfortable are worth the mutual respect and communication you build.
If you have a bad relationship with your bm I really don’t want nothing to do with you. If y’all can’t be mature enough to co parent you definitely can’t be mature enough to be my man idc.
I could love you to death and be fine with leaving you alone. Relationships (platonic too everything isn’t about a nigga) require more than love it’s sad but you really have to love some people from afar.
I own a small business that employs 4 women besides myself and by employ I mean w2 and not 1099 cause there is a big difference. I gave my team a week of paid time off this week which is super hard as a small business but they deserve it. I’m extremely proud myself.
We’re open today and accepting walk ins and same day appts! You can pick between 100% organic wax and traditional hard wax and were right in Lake Arbor 🤎✨.
Being a mother is the best decision I have ever made. I’m thankful every day that God blessed me with the ability to bring life, no matter what challenges this journey presents it’s well worth it.
I own a Waxing canter and hair bar (Beauty Confidential) in Lake Arbor, MD. We are committed to clean skincare and even use organic and vegan waxes that are hypo allergenic and safe on the most sensitive skin. Come see us - search Blk Wax Bar on google 🤗.
Women be besties then beeefing immediately after and that’s exactly why I’ve had the same friends for 10+ years we been through it but I know I’m respected and protected. Y’all linking with other women cause they’re cute? For clout? pew no.
I am so so appreciative to my mother for everything she has done and continues to do for me. Having a supportive parent is a cheat code in life and I’m hurt that everyone doesn’t get that experience.

absolutely not we were owned 40 acres and a mule in 1865 they need to figure out how much that would be in 2019 that’s what they owe us.
Why do people think your tweets have to be first person or about your current life? Y’all will never know what I’m doing unless I blatantly post it. Stop trying to figure it out.
