#TodayOnThisDay #Kwanzaa. Day 7 #IMANI (Faith) The importance of this principle is belief in ourselves as individuals and as a people. Further, it is a commitment to the development of the family and the national black and brown community. The goal of freedom rests significantly on our belief in our own ability and right to control our own destiny. Without Imani (faith), there is no possibility of victory over social injustice or inequality. Reversing the self hatred some have towards their own racial & ethnic identity and group members begins with this principle. #crushtheisms #crushstereotypes #crushracism #crushrevisionism #TOTD https://www.instagram.com/p/B6zHUHhnDsJ/?igshid=tdjd1hcnrnby

#TodaysLessonOnRacism Some seemingly passive acts are rooted in longtime racist biases. The effect on the receiver is anger, shock and/or disappointment. It is the source of why POC contemplate interactions much longer than others. Today I asked a @walmart employee to confirm a displayed sale price included all of the items displayed. She confirmed. In my effort to purchase one of the items I was told the price was for purchasing two and the price one item rings is the individual price. None of that information was displayed and the employee did not find it necessary to tell me the sale conditions before I arrived at the counter. Some might think, "What's the big deal?". People of color or more likely to recieve partial answers when asking questions as some with biases feel less compelled to provide all information up front. I was annoyed but not damaged. The price rang as half the sale price but the employee felt it necessary to give me "all the rules" at the register before ringing. People of color are just as worthy of complete information as every other customer. #crushtheisms #crushinequality #crushstereotypes #curshracism https://www.instagram.com/p/B5DpJzPHl6Q/?igshid=1jwpdmig1hgx3

Today is the 51st anniversary of the assasination of #MLK. Assassinations are less obvious today but leaders are still dying. MLK's words about, "Good people who do nothing" are just as relevant today as when he first said them. Are you a good person? Do you see what's happening around you? Are you willing to speak out? Help a cause? Stand for what's right. #crushtheisms #crushstereotypes #crushracism #crushrevisisionism https://www.instagram.com/p/Bv1-DkjF8-O/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=14y9wkqwtw7zt
