George Floyd was an American citizen murdered by police officer Derek Chauvin during an arrest on May 25, 2020 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Mr. Floyd was in a local store buying some items. The cashier in the store called the police on Floyd over a $20 bill. It was allegedly a fake bill. The store clerk also stated that Floyd was acting erratic. Basically, Floyd died over 20 bucks. Please be extra cautious when you make that phone call to the police on someone. Depending on the police officer, it could be a deadly situation. You may not be comfortable living with knowing your phone call could possibly lead to another human beings' death. Also, with all the things going on with police killings in our communities (black people), I encourage all of us to talk to our family members and check up on our young people to avoid negative interactions, if at all possible. Mr. Chauvin kept his knee on George Floyd's neck for 9 minutes. Mr. George Floyd died as a result of Chauvin's actions. The video was recorded by a brave young teenager (Darnella Frazier). I urge all prayers sent up to keep Darnella safe against those folks who are irritated by her exploiting the truth. There were four male officers on the scene handling George Floyd. Yes, you heard me, four armed men! When it comes to the arrest of black boys and men, police officers are trained to fear them (men). It is understandable for any police officer to have back-up support when needed or when they pull someone over for a simple traffic stop. When the individuals are born with more melanin in their skin, the fear goes up. On April 20, 2021 Derek Chauvin was found guilty of unintentional second-degree murder, third-degree murder, and second-degree manslaughter. When the verdict was announced a lot of people were happy and relieved he was convicted. Especially in the black community because we are so used to police officers getting away with killing our men and boys by articulating they "feared for their lives" or by their legal counsel saying they were doing what they were "trained to do." This time, those statements didn't work in Derek favor. There were police officers who testified against Chauvin's behavior. If you have viewed the videotape, you can witness how Derek Chauvin seemed to enjoy it! Derek Chauvin placed his hand in his pocket while keeping his knee on Floyd's neck even after the paramedics arrived to do their jobs. This man intentionally did it! The other unwise officers (Thomas Lane, Alexander Kueng, Tou Thao) just stood their and did absolutely nothing. They are all starting their trials in August of 2021. They were all charged with aiding and abetting.

I was watching the local news the night Derek Chauvin was convicted and heard one black man on the news crying. He said for the first time in history his life had mattered as a black man because a white police officer was convicted of killing a black man. Let's not jump for joy just yet. There are layers of systemic racism we have to deal with that we haven't dealt with. Why oh why, did the trial and murder of an American black citizen by the name of George Floyd move so many people to take political action? This isn't over until real police reform is put into law. We had black Americans being killed by the police during the George Floyd trial and it will continue to happen afterwards. If black men who were part of The Black Panther organization infiltrated law enforcement by becoming police officers, the FBI would shut them down. They would be quickly removed. The FBI has stated there are white supremacist and Neo Nazis infiltrating the American police stations and nothing has been done. Why? I'm sure our democrats and republicans are privy to this information if I know this! So why isn't these folks being removed? Why is it that these same officers can show so much restraint to people who look like them but with black boys and men they will instantly draw their guns? They do not hesitate to kill them! Why is that? We see white men hitting the police, running away from cops, and verbally cursing them out. We have often seen white men boldly stealing police cars and live to write about it. You know, RESISTING ARREST to the tenth power and nothing happens to them. White men are often taken alive. They are slow to shoot them for some reason. Experts and police officers testified in the George Floyd case that Mr. Floyd was on his stomach in handcuffs surrounded by a knee to his neck and by 3 other armed officers. What the hell could George have done? Why did it take all of that cruel force for this black man's life? They were supposed to sit George Floyd up so he could breathe and not deny him medical treatment. If George Floyd was your family member you wouldn't like it. Right? Let's just take race out for a minute. Bring back humanity, please! Those American police officers or race soldiers who are not representative of serving and protecting all Americans should not get any immunity when we continue seeing this pattern of killings on film because they don't qualify for it. What about all the lives we didn't catch on video? They also stain the image of the police officers who do their jobs right. The unfortunate death and murder of George Floyd is shaming America again. It is also showing black men and boys their lives do matter. As Coretta Scott King have stated, "Struggle is a never-ending process. Freedom is never really won, you earn it and win it in every generation." 

Shall I begin with a beamish grin? I love seeing black women like Vice President Kamala Harris, Inaugural Poet Amanda Gorman, Stacy Adams, and Michelle Obama win! Impeachment is on the hearts and the minds of the nation but black women often change the narratives of history and continue to raise the vibration  in political representation. This may or may not Appeal to you. What about 100 million shots in the veins or a conversation about race? Are you ready to get uncomfortable? Are you prepared to talk about these thangs? Please pay close attention to these exceptional historic mentions.

The Real Deal =The Appeal

I employ you and encourage you to get linked up with The Appeal. Especially if you're in the criminal justice field, are law students, or politically savvy. Learn more about laws and politics in the mix that affect your community. We all know how crucial a State Attorney's job is. History has shown how biased attitudes of mostly white men and women (not all but most) have adjudicated the criminal cases of black and brown people coupled with racism, unjustly. The way this government allows the prisons to treat men and women, plus kids that are in jail is not cool. Why do we continue to act like we do not see everything wrong with trying black teenagers as adults? Democrats nor republicans have done nothing. The only time the words "we care" plays a part in their minds is when it's their family or friends. Throwing a 16 year old in an adult prison with men is not really reflective of being the home of the brave. Be courageous enough to look at black teens and kids who have troubling circumstances as you would white kids. Our kids deserve to have second chances as well. These individuals have family members that love them because that's what families do. They have human rights. We should all be concerned and involved in this criminal justice system. We know it hinges inside the belly of greed.  

When you read good information it is conducive for you to share it loudly with all individuals in need of it. This way, we can all stay in the loop on matters of mass incarceration, voting rights, new laws, policing, politics, criminal justice, and all things in between. As Americans you have to ask the questions of how and why are things continuing to happen with no accountability when it is all on tape. We have to do better Joe and Kamala. Subscribe to The Appeal. 

Black Girl Gorman Magic 

It's time to practice some black girl Gorman magic! Use this magic to the fullest extent to know you'll do exceedingly and abundantly well in all things you want to have or achieve. Spread this Amanda Gorman magic on your babies while they sleep. Give them some in the mornings to help them with their speech. Tell them and show them how you are going to parent better. Use some Gorman magic on yourself.  

Each time a black girl can rock her shine with inaugural pride, it gives us all a higher grade of praise to erase the stains of stigmas improperly added to us. Amanda Gorman is aware of who she is. She is a brown skin girl from Harvard. She is a poet, an author and a fighter for all that is right. She is an example for black girls everywhere. She is showing you to go ahead and do it too! Dream big and do it!

Let The Tough Conversations/Legislation Begin

President Biden expressed on his inaugural day that justice for all will no longer be deferred. He openly called out white supremacy and racial injustice. We shall see what he will do. The black community has been waiting for clean water in Flint Michigan. Police reform in every state has to be finalized. All the corruption in the criminal justice system needs to be reformed. What about reparations? Racism is also a virus. It effects the mental wellness of black people. We need to flush it out of the hearts and minds of Americans. We have to start the surgery. It starts at the top. Black Lives Matter! Even in this new administration.   

Syleena is the semblance of a Power Pretty Mama who never has to get ready for the love attack she has for Chicago. She stays forever ready to represent her hometown. Syleena Johnson is letting the world know (especially black men) it's time to protect black women. How fitting is her melanin to magically rock this tee for black history. I just want to say, gone gurrrrl! Yes, "Protect Black Women" at all times, 365 days a year. Gimmie that shirt and the skirt. Hot!

In the beginning, the Lord made Sancti-Fly women like Syleena Johnson to give you a reason to smile, embrace your confidence, and slay in your melanated history with fashionistic bliss. Who else but you (black girls rocking) can take a scarf and leave a brand new mark of compliments? Who can and will always leave their scents with their African prints of pride laced in Afrocentric tees and big circle hoop earrings + dope jewelry? You're too slow but you already know, it is the black woman. Gimme that entire look Syleena! Looking good queen!

I'm just amazed, like in a daze. I am stuck and in love with a hairstyle that wows! Syleena gimme that. Beware of beautiful black hair! I know, this entire look got us all hooked. Our style is in the belly of longevity, not just February! 

I finally started content for The Appeal. I used to throw it in the segment with my monthly "Attentions Worth My Mention" category. The Appeal has such juicy pertinent information conducive to our communities. I had to give them their own spotlight to continue shining. If you are in law school, involved in criminal justice or have kids, please subscribe to The Appeal. You can always find it under the Public Service Announcements archives. I urge you to get involved in your local politics. I know a lot of people vote every four years for the presidential election. These laws affect your children and of course your community. It's time to step up. Our lives are bombarded with laws. Your voice matters and it will be taken into full account when you exercise it. In these shaky times, we can't afford to wait until something happens to someone we know or love. Collectively, we have to stay informed, prepared, and concerned about our brothers and sisters that are incarcerated. 

I have been articulating how those democrats and republicans have it within their congressional powers to make a wrong right. It has been proven how thick the disparities are when black and brown men are incarcerated. Finally, those folks in congress are ending mandatory sentences statewide. Mandatory sentences break down and destroy families. It has been detrimental to black families. Most of the men in jail right now are predominately black men. Why is that? Okay,Yes some actually did do the crime and some were used as escape goats. The point is, black men get harsher sentencing than white men. Blacks can do the exact crime and you will often see a difference. Please don't get too distracted with the black verses white pitch. It is how they designed this criminal justice system. There are multiple advocacy groups fighting against mandatory sentences and it looks like someone is starting to take heed to their plea. The Appeal definitely will bring you stories you otherwise would not hear about. In the great state of Maryland they are coming together in their humanity to ban sentencing children to life without parole. I am just waiting for them to stop sentencing black kids as adults. This happens more to black kids then any other group of kids but does happen to all kids, especially to poor families. The state will try them as adults then place kids in jail with grown men. Tell me what is right about this. It would be a big deal to keep them together with their families as juveniles. Investing in their humanity is often thrown out. This criminal justice system doesn't see the value in little brown skin girls or little black boys. They don't! They are already placing our babies in jail at elementary schools. They call it the school to prison pipeline. There is no excuse for you not to get involved in your child's school and in your local politics. Did you know that the state of Virginia abolished the death penalty? Every time I think about southern states like Virginia, I can't help but to think about this little black boy by the name of George Stinney. I am aware how some of you (you know who you are) lust after treating little black boys like they are men. George never got justice. They murdered an innocent boy by giving him the death penalty. They are still doing this in many other ways to our men and boys of color. Thankfully, there are folks we call freedom fighters of all races who fight against racism, injustices, and all kinds of oppression. Tarra Simmons is one of those freedom fighters. 

Relaxation is a way for your mind to detoxify from stress. You have been on your grind working smarter or trying to figure it all out. You will get there. There are things in this world trying to keep you unfocused and stressful. Don't you let it in your space. I always have something up my sleeves to help you relax. Watch some of these movies with your family this weekend.  Spend time with those you love. Hold them tight and kiss them goodnight.

Come along to an animated fantasy mixed with horrifying action and plenty of family drama just the way you like it. To Your Last Death is an independent film that kicked in a lot of wins. At the Pasadena Film Festival, this film won the Best Horror or Best Animation. To Your Last Death also won for the Best Feature Film. In addition to that, To Your Last Death won Best Horror Feature Film at the Phoenix Film Festival. Did someone whisper international? Wait! This film also showed out, winning the Best Horror Film at the International Horror & Sci-Fi Film Festival. Congratulations to all those producers, directors and writers who collaborated on this huge success (over 30 awards). Please watch this! Thanks for your support. 

Kudos to Mr. Denzel Washington, George C. Wolfe, Ruben Santiago-Hudson, and Netflix for this project. Ma Rainey's Black Bottom is a true story. Ma Rainey was known as "Mother of the Blues." She was very good at 'sangin' the blues and she demanded her respect because she knew her worth. You'll see in the movie why she was a famous blues songstress. Please become familiar with how worthy you are! Here is your chance to introduce yourself and your kids to an American (black) playwright by the name of August Wilson. The movie was based off of his writing. I had the blues just by watching this movie (lol). Please watch this! Thanks for your support. 

This movie was way too good! If you enjoyed watching movies like Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory or Annie, you are going to fall in love with the magic displayed in the film Jingle Jangle. It's also safe to watch with your entire family. Incidentally, this is a Netflix original. The theme is Christmas. Please watch this! Thanks for your support. 

Canvas is an animated film about grief and passion. At first it wasn't getting enough attention. Netflix was about to turn the other cheek and snatch it off of their network. When "the people" heard about Canvas, massive quantities of support was supplied. Please watch this! You'll  be so glad you did!

This Christmas is one of my favorite movies. I love how the entire family comes together for the Christmas holiday. Just remember you can break traditions and have family gatherings all the time. I know some of you do. This movie will have you feeling loved and thankful for your families. The Soul Train Line in this movie really influenced my preference. Have a good time enjoying your time with your family and friends. Real friends are just like family if you're lucky to find it. Please watch this!

Netflix is taking over! Self Made is a movie I'd recommend to all the Sancti-Fly Mamas who empower women and especially girls. You must watch this movie about Madam CJ Walker. She was the first black millionaire and this film tells you how and why. I want to give a sweet love attack shout out to all the black girls who are out there rocking their haircare lines and products just like Madam CJ would've wanted it to be. Ladies you ROCK! We have so many examples than our grandparents had. Our bloodlines shines in change. This movie is mixed with a high dose of inspirational warfare. Please watch this! 

Oh my goodness! I recently watched The Princess and the Frog for the first time last year in 2020. It was beyond beautiful. It's nice to see reflections of cartoon characters that look like you in films. Especially for our babies. How many frogs have you kissed to have your prince find you? Please watch this with your little girls and boys.

It is time to check out other search engines. Google is not the only one.

Tor is a search engine that you have to download in order to search privately. I wasn't really feeling this one. You can check it out.

DuckDuckGo is one I do like. You don't have to download it just start using it.

I searched Sancti Fly Mama and unlike Google my letters are capitalized as it should be. 

I really like this search engine. Ecosia plants a tree each time you use their search engine. 

I searched Sancti Fly Mama and I like how my brand name is correct.

Startpage reminds me of Google. I don't know why. 

I of course searched Sancti Fly Mama. All of these searches were done on my desktop but if you do it on your mobile it will be the same. Did you know that when you use your cell phone to go on certain websites you can use the web version or the mobile version? Yes, the web version is like your computer view and the mobile version changes the settings a little bit. I like the web version.
You have to look at the bottom of the websites for the two different versions. 

Koryn Hawthorne is definitely a Power Pretty Mama Contemporary Gospel artist at the age of 23. This young woman is destined to be unforgettable as she has sowed prosperously in the genre of gospel music #1 hit songs. She can take any lyrics and add her Koryn magic to it. She affirms how unstoppable she is and will not hesitate to encourage you to do the same. Don't let nothing stop you. Koryn is such a lady. Of course she is wearing that dress quite naturally. Gone gurrrl! Gimme that dress!

Koryn Hawthorn is something special. She is empowered by the king (Yahweh).
I prefer silver vs. gold so I appreciate the silver shiny dress she is rocking very well. Koryn gives hope and amazing light to all women in her lyrics but most importantly, our young people. Just look at her! She isn't showing all of her lady parts and she still looks classy, sexy, and sophisticated. Koryn entire look with the nails, the sunglasses, and hair blowing in the background is loudly saying (yes ya'll already know) gone gurrrl.  Ain't nobody stopping her shine! No one is stopping yours either so do not give it to them. Gimme that dress!

This controversial piece is kind of like my Twitter Tweets of The Week. I cruise around Twitter and talk about many random things trending but this time it will be with post from Instagram. Sometimes there is audio so please don't forget to click on the links in purple to listen in. I dedicate this controversy towards the black liberation for black people and black agendas of freedom in all nations! Enjoy!

This is true! We're all so conditioned to singing the black on black theme song. Yes, you will never hear white folks saying "white on white" crime. It is crime so please drink some deliverance and stop saying it is "black on black crime." When you know better you do better! Granted, we do have a lot of problems in our melanated communities with gun violence and killings. The root of our bad vibes stem from economics, poverty. We also have people doing their part to make life better with action and solutions. We have a plethora of black men and women who work tirelessly with our young people to combat violence. You barely hear about them on the news but they partner with parents and schools all the time to break and make the difference! It is still just crime!

Yes release every single one of them. I don't care how many pounds of weed it was. Pure wickedness is what you guys and gals have done and allowed to be done. Can you believe this! Wake up melanated people! You're concerned about nice things and bling while your kids and family are drowning and bleeding in these racist policies. 

AS I WAS SAYING, NO ONE IS COMING TO SAVE US. WE ARE THE ONLY ONES WHO CAN DO IT, ECONOMICALLY AND POLITICALLY. IT'S THE ONLY WAY BACK TO BLACK WALL STREET. THEY CARE NOTHING ABOUT US.

Mechee X will have a lot of church folk in an uproar about this Instagram post.

This is a huge problem in "the church" and one of the reasons Mechee X posted the picture of the little girl articulating she wasn't born into sin. Pastors like this man is ignorant about the history of black folks. You can see the representation of his ignorance plus his lack of empathy. He even throws around Christianity like that makes it ok. This pastor in this post has a controlling racist spirit to change the narrative. Why do people who have no connection with oppression enjoy trying to add to something that has nothing to do with them. Please just stop! Yes, you can have an opinion on any subject but you shouldn't share it publicly if you have no clue about it. Stop acting like you're an expert when it comes to the oppression of others. You ain't never tasted oppression!

I wonder why this man's bond was set so low? We all can make assumptions or guess why. We need to make it our habit to get rid of these judges! This judge didn't see the need to make the bond higher. I hope she is like that in all of her cases. I will have to look her up and check her out. We are so used to ridiculous high bonds when it comes to "us" so why set the bar so low for others? I  bet if the little boy had stole a candy bar out of a store his bond would be higher than 10,000. Melanated black people know their worth but to some in the criminal justice arena, their lives does not matter. Incidentally, Black lives do matter.

This is the kind of madness black people have to continue to endure. This white man ran across the right one on this day. Seriously speaking, this affects our mental health! We see white people in our neighborhoods all the time and we mind our business. We are watchful and we notice but that's about it. The black man is at work and the white man is harassing him, asking for identification. Can we get a law to legalize being a black melanated human citizen?

These two young people are indeed troubled teens. They were in a group home. Here is the point we have to highlight and reference. They shot at the police and they are alive. This doesn't happen to black children. We already know a black child would have been shot to his/her death. The mainstream media would have went all the way back to kindergarten and talked about how aggressive the black child was. In addition to that, the parents of the black kids would have been all in the media. In this video, you can hear the police officer reluctant to shoot back at those kids. Why wasn't Tamir Rice and so many other black kids not afforded that same grace of humanity? There is absolutely no empathy towards our families, our boys, men and women. These kids will most likely get all the mental help and resources offered to them. Check out how nice the media was to them. Nothing was harsh at all but soft and sympathetic all the way through the story. 

I'll second that motion. She said protect innocent black men like you do guilty white men! We already know that an executive order could stop all this racism and savagery from happening to black men. Instead, those democrats and republican will not do it. Kudos to the Asian community. How did you guys get them to sign a bill so quickly?

Please pay attention to these Important mentions of youth engagement for better days in political ways to manage black lives that do matter, maybe a little better than the democrats and republicans we have now. What about making extra money and learning more about financial literacy in responsibility? I'm down with that. Last time I check freedom of expression is supposed to be off limits but if you make a shoe with 666 in your mix, prepare for others opinions of it. I am not down with men and women who are called to serve and protect only to find them lying under oath with undocumented expenses of unfinished business.

UNDOCUMENTED EXPENSES

As Americans continues to battle the highs and lows of covid-19, most folks are indeed thankful (hopefully) for any and all financial assistance our government has provided. However, when I read an article about the City of New York giving or offering undocumented families who are unemployed up to $15,000. I felt this is an issue that should have been fixed! No band-aids. You have a lot of people and Americans struggling and doing whatsoever they can legally and illegally to survive but most documented folks were given 3 checks that isn't even close to $15,000. I am not saying that they don't need it because they do! People who are documented Americans are receiving unemployment benefits monthly that have surpassed $15,000. Especially if there are kids involved. You get more $ if you have kids. A one time payment of up to 15,000 for undocumented families really isn't enough to be quite frank. What I am strongly articulating is this proves if our government can easily give that money away to people in need, we should not have high crime in our cities and no homeless people. Why hasn't the city of New York and others made it possible to help undocumented workers and families get documented? That is the first thing needed. They are well aware undocumented people are taken advantage of. 

LIES CANNOT LIVE FOREVER

​Joseph Franco lied and he got caught. He was charged with perjury in 2019. We love to say there are bad apples in every profession. There is. Even detectives like Joseph Franco fit the description. Franco's negligence has open the eyes of the fact, all of his statements of convictions should and could be erased. I pray for every drop of this correction to happen. You already heard about this too many times, especially in black and brown communities. They lie, convict and destroy our communities with these tactics. Franco needs to go!

Below are my Sancti-Fly Tweets of the week. It has been a minute since I've cruised around Twitter at times to shine a light on some random tweets I think are really significant or funny. Considering the tone and mood of our country, I doubt if these Twitter Tweets of the week will be funny.

Tariq Nasheed is probably right on the mark when he said, "Oh, those elusive criminals who participated in a failed coup, are just so hard to track down." 

He is referring to the madness that occurred at the Capitol Hill on January 6. We all (black folks) were thinking the same thing. When black and brown people are involved in criminal activity, somehow someway, guess what? They never need help tracking those people down. This is what all communities and the world are talking about. I don't have the energy to talk about all the inequality in the U.S. criminal justice system. Even the FBI and the CIA monitored King and Malcolm X more than any other persons. When I was a child I always heard the phrase, 
"black people can't do what white folks can do" and it is true! 
​
This first tweet from Tariq is re-tweeted from another person's page who goes by the name of Cleavon MD. Cleavon MD introduces us to a woman by the name of Jenny Cudd from Midland Texas. In the video link in purple (please watch it) this woman has the audacity to brag about what she did at the Capitol like it was the best deed in the world. Her name is going down in those Social Studies books. Her entire bloodline might want to change their last names. Or maybe they just might be proud like her. Jenny Cudd is the apotheosis of white privilege. America
won't even legalize being a black human being but this was allowed to happen.
Then she was able to walk home and do interviews about it! Let that sink all the way in. Jenny had no problem articulating what they did do and what they didn't do. The most irritating part about all of this Capitol Hill foolishness is, when the white media continues to act like they just don't know or understand how it could have happened. Come on! Really?

Jemele Hill
​As a @followgoosehead customer, I am absolutely disgusted. Anybody looking for a homeowners insurance customer?

Jemele Hill retweets @SollenbergerRC exposing a lawyer by the name of Paul Davis. Davis is the Associate General Counsel for Goosehead. According to Sollenberger, Paul is also over human resources at Goosehead Insurance. He is another one that has no qualms talking publicly about his initials all on Capitol Hill. This is why those groups of people labeled by the dominant society as the minorities, have to be very careful. We are actually the majority but we don't know who we are dealing with when we do business with folks. This man is a lawyer and over hiring people.

Jemele Hill
Like I said yesterday, there is a white supremacy problem in law enforcement and we can’t expect the police to enforce anything against people they actually agree with

They don't agree with black lives that do and always will matter. Remember all those times how law enforcement treated peaceful protesters? They called King and Malcolm X trouble makers for peacefully standing up for their rights. Mr. John Lewis said, start some good trouble. Regardless if the people are pink or blue, if they are being rioters they should be dealt with by law enforcement accordingly. For the record, those who were allowed to be destructive on Capitol Hill January 6, were not patriots. As Americans we are collectively outraged by the episodes that transpired on the Hill. We are not really shocked by a lot of the things this government and country has done to the history of black people and continues doing! You do not get to call black people (tax payers) thugs as they have been fighting for racial justice forever, when they protest peacefully and white folks patriotic when they try overthrowing the government with an extra dose of violence up their premeditated sleeves. I understand they felt like the system did them wrong and wanted to protest. Black people feel this way all the time. Can you fathom that? It is their right to peacefully protest. There probably were peaceful protesters in the crowd. What we witnessed wasn't that!

Y'ALL

This is a retweet Jemele got from CBS This Morning about the young 22 year old woman who attacked a 14 year old boy for thinking he stole her iphone. For some reason it is so convenient to blame black boys for anything because they are not given the benefit of the doubt. Miya Ponsetto saw a young black boy with an identical iphone like hers. She actually lost her phone. She probably thought he couldn't afford an iphone so the phone he had, must've been hers. We all need to pray for discernment. Seriously! It can save a lot of lives. He just had to have stolen her phone. Miya even had the nerve to cry "I'm only a 22 year old girl" but was quick to call the black boy a man. Isn't that interesting? This is why our babies are not allowed to make mistakes and be young boys and girls. They view them as women and men! Miya was not trying to own up to her part of attacking a 14 year old boy. Why was it so easy for her to think she could attack him?  She was also quick to give off some of her disrespect to Gayle King doing the interview. She has been arrested for assaulting a 14 year old boy, as you will see in the video. She went after him! I thought they made more than one iphone like hers. Oh, and her phone was all of a sudden returned to her. The young boy she attacked was actually innocent. This is how we are as a society. Black people have also been conditioned to hate and distrust each other. I am not saying everybody in the world are good people. I am just saying all black boys are not criminals despite what the media feeds you.  

NowThis
​BREAKING: After years of public pressure to keep a U.S. president who incites violence and pushes conspiracy theories to millions, Twitter on Friday permanently suspended Donald Trump's @realDonaldTrump account in a move that was accelerated by the Jan 6 riot at the Capitol.

President Trump has no more Twitter power. They suspended his account today. Now, all the other social media brands are doing the same thing. I don't see it as a good thing. I don't see it as a bad thing either. My only concern is, they can do that to any of us. Censorship is something I would never advocate for but I do understand why they did it! They waited until the last minute but um, okay! I hope they tighten up the security for the inauguration coming up this month. I don't know about Kamala but I don't think I would be too relaxed at the January ceremony if random people can break into the Capitol and get away with it. Did you see all those pictures and videos? Where was national security? Where were all those cameras? They make security better than this even in Hollywood movies! "Take Back The Steal" is going to be the phrase for centuries.
