Think that the oppression ended when slavery ended, but it didnt. we then had mass resistance, mass incarceration, jim crow, the police brutality in minneapolis. black oppression exists today. it is alive and well here as we speak in 2022, just in a different form. and it is very important, i believe, for people like me that are comfortable to talk about that. the burden has always been on people of color to talk about that history and i think we are all in this together and i think people that ...

And then he will decide whether he can wear his training or tennis shoes tomorrow to play? the fact that the court is sitting on a weekend in the tight timeframe of when submissions are due means the court understands it needs to make a decision quickly stop it is likely there is probably only an hour or so left of argument and then the judges will go away, they indicated at the start of the hearing that either today or first thing tomorrow. so it depends on how long it takes them to make a deci...
