Agreed. Racism and the hate that accompanies it could always be a problem for black folks. While I do not believe interracial marriages will lead to the erasure of black people from the planet, I do think it will further dilute and marginalize black folks. If knowledge of our history is an indicator, eventually, black folks will no longer embrace their skin color when it comes to their contributions, achievements and advancements in the world. At some point, the 1st black [insert here] won't be any more relevant to black folks than Pete Buttigieg being the 1st gay Secretary of Transportation. 😎

Regina King is an excellent actress. I believe she would portray Shirley Chisholm very well. 😎

My difference in view is that the number of individual successes provide both a measure and map to community success. Nature doesn’t allow everyone to grow and demonstrate progress in the same way. As humans we are able to alter our environments that allow more of our species to thrive than a beaver 🦫 which builds a dam. We need to recognize the progress that has been made. That way we can work on things that need to be addressed rather rehash past injustices. That practice sole benefit is it shows us things to avoid. I hope you will pick up my newly released book 📖 6 Magic Cans of Happiness Act 3:Danielle the Girl From NY it was released Friday.

I think it's great. Anytime a Black historical figure is going to be memorialized or lionized in film, its is further proof of our significance and greatness.

It's been my observation that certain bi-racials are perceived as black whether they concur with it or not. Take the sport of basketball, for instance. There is a whole new crop of NBA and collegiate players out there who are the offspring of black hoopsters who have married white women. The results are these giant, light-skinned specimens with a grade of hair that ranges from nappy and spiked to close cropped and coarse. Their female counterparts in society-at-large, wear wild bushy hair styles to frame their pale faces. When it gets down to the nitty gritty, that black hair gene is apparently too strong to be recessive.
