Black is you.

Black is me.

Black is us.

Black is free.

You’ll be surprised how fast, how easy it is for someone to steal your and my mind. You don’t think so? We never like to think in terms of being dumb enough to let someone put something over on us in a very deceitful and tricky way. But you and I are living in a very deceitful and tricky society, in a very deceitful and tricky country, which has a very deceitful and tricky government. All of them in it aren’t tricky and deceitful, but most of them are. And any time you have a government in which most of them are deceitful and tricky, you have to be on guard at all times. You have to know how they work this deceit and how they work these tricks. Otherwise you’ll find yourself in a bind.

      One of the best ways to safeguard yourself from being deceived is always to form the habit of looking at things for yourself, listening to things for yourself, thinking for yourself, before you try and come to any judgment. Never base your judgment of someone on what someone else has said. Or upon what someone else has written. Or upon what you read about someone that somebody else wrote. Never base your judgment on things like that. Especially in this kind of country and in this kind of society which has mastered the art of very deceitfully painting images of people whom they don’t like in an image that they know you won’t like. So you end up hating your friends and loving their enemies.

MLK's Mother Was Assassinated, Too: The Forgotten Women Of Black History Month

[kimreesesdaughter]

On June 30th, 1973, Alberta Williams King was gunned down while she played the organ for the “Lord’s Prayer” at Ebenezer Baptist Church. As a Christian civil rights activist, she was assassinated…just like her son, Martin Luther King, Jr. But most people remember only one. Until a month ago, I was one of those people.

I never knew this!!!!

Wow is this true? 😟

[bougiest]

Very true. If you go to the church you can still see the bullet holes and everything.

[theageofkris-deactivated2018101]

Yep, I heard about this a few years ago and I was floored. I didn’t want to believe it, but this is true.

Pastor says bottled water donations slowing to trickle in Flint

A pastor says donations of bottled water to his Flint church have dried up in the past month.

Donations poured in from across the nation in the weeks and months after it was learned that Flint’s drinking water was contaminated with lead. At times, the response nearly overwhelmed the effort to distribute water to Flint residents.  

Bishop Roger Lee Jones’ north side church parking lot used to be filled with pallets of water, but now the flood of donations has slowed to a trickle.

Please donate! http://www.helpforflint.com/action

[pollenruinstheplow-blog-deactiv]

Just reblog it if you can or can’t donate, maybe someone else can donate if they see this
