Not just wrong but outrageously inhumane. But do you know who I blame the MOST for how the Ayitian people are being treated down there? AfroAmericans. Because AfroAmericans from Texas and Louisanna should be the first ones down there to offer food, water, and medical assistance to our brothers and sisters down there. It's enough Black churches in Houston alone to show some love to the 14,000 people stranded down there. AOC went down to the border to visit fellow Latinos and show them some love and care. What's up with the Black congress people? Where are they? Where are the Black celebrities? Ofcourse what the plans of the Administration are racist...as was the Administration before it...but where is the Black political RESISTENCE to it? Are they speaking up on it or is CNN the only ones addressing the issue? Some people say that life isn't fair. However as I've gotten older I realized how FAIR life is. Most people just don't know the rules And as injust as this society is....there's a certain amount of fairness even in it too! Wheels that don't squeak...don't get oiled. Too often AfroAmericans IGNORE problems, especially when it's happening to someone else and not themselves personally...and then when they end up in the same trouble..want to complain. No one is stopping atleast SOME of the MILLIONS of Black folks who live in Texas from going down there and helping those people out and maybe...MAYBE...the show of support will make the government change it's too. Even when it comes to Ayiti itself....who's stopping Black politicians from demanding that assistance to that nation and Ayitian Nation building doesn't become a national priority? They just aren't focused on it. I was on social media today and there was barely a WORD about this from other Black content creators in this issue. This is one of the reasons so many don't respect the slogan "Black Lives Matter".....they see the hypocrisy in many of those chanting it.

Been following the story all morning. No words to describe my feelings on this....🤬

I agree, Troy runs an excellent forum. It's one of the things that has kept me on here for years. I've said over and over again that I'm surprised it doesn't do more traffic since social media is so restrictive and is so quick to ban people. With all of the forums on this one site.... What's stopping people from signing up, starting a thread and then posting back and forth on it like a chat room? Only difference is it may be a little slower to submit comments. I haven't seen any limits on the pages of a thread...people could potentially have a thread full of a thousand posts. I don't have to worry and say "Blk" instead of "Black" or "Wht" instead of "White" or avoid saying the word "vaccine" for fear of it getting caught up in some algorithm Plus, unlike Twitter or Youtube...where some unknown figure is sending you warnings and stikes....you can easily just e-mail Troy about a problem. But many of our people love to follow the crowd. They love to go where the "action" is and follow their friends around.

***************************************************************************** That's so funny because I thought that as well. I thought that it was an actual thing and if not, maybe they were referring to Lipstick Alley or something. We don't have a Black social media platform, but we have Troy's forum, and thank God for that. BTW @Troy if you read this, I love this forum software, it works really smooth. I always think of that girl on the old forum that said your software was bootleg. Remember that? ❤️ *****************************************************************************

************************************************************************************ ICYMI, this is in the news today: U.S. Ramps Up Plan to Expel Haitian Migrants Gathered in Texas I live on the U.S./Mexico border so I'm not thrilled about what is going on with unknown people coming here from who knows where being shipped all over the nation, with many of them remaining in my local area. One of the reasons I don't like it is because of the criminal elements, there's enough crime already going on here without importing more people who are in survival mode, who don't have any other option than to resort to illegal activities in order to eat. Supposedly, there are migrants coming in from 160 nations, and even though I don't want them here, I think it's unfair of the U.S. government to expel/deport one group but not the others, especially when it appears that this decision is being made because of skin color. If the government is going to expel/deport these people, then they should get rid of them all, not just the Black ones. Our government is a bunch of RACISTS!!! ************************************************************************************
