Just in case anyone needs proof of what you wrote:

This is the same Sacramento PD that not only turned a blind eye when Matthew Heimbach’s neo-nazi Traditionalist Workers Party stabbed protestors at a rally, but later collaborated with them to try to hunt down protestors. Absolute scum.

I work in a lab and this is precisely the reason why a real person checks and logs the temperature on every single fridge, freezer, and incubator every single shift, reading the actual thermometer inside the instrument and not just whatever the display says. It seems like pointless busywork to some people (“Why bother…

The conspicuous silence of pro-lifers about this needs to be a counterpoint to them forever.

I co-sign on every 👏🏾single👏🏾point👏🏾

I really wish a documentary was done on these women and the affect they had on the households they ran. Because that is what they did.

Not only that but the wait at my local Cheesecake Factory is AT LEAST 1 hr. Why on this good green earth is ANYONE waiting an hour + for Cheesecake Factory?

It may just be the shitty Red Lobster ‘ambience’ lighting, but that looks terrible.

Some of us grow up and learn there are better things in life. Do you know you can get an equivalent, fresher, and often more afforable meal at neighborhood joints vs Chain Restaurants? The Fried SHrimp at my neighborhood spot is cheaper than Red’s. I’m happy for you that you like going to places with a 20 page menu…

1. My mama.

I have a white colleague that I work with that showed me the video of this shooting, the day after it happened. He was like, “there is no way they can say this wasn’t a murder”. I told him at the time that the cops would be cleared of any wrongdoing because that is just the way that America is. He continued to insist…

I’m here because of domestic workers. My mom came to the US as a nanny for a Spanish diplomat, and my dad came because his sister was able to sponsor him. My aunt was also a nanny, but she came from El Salvador, and she was able to sponsor my dad. I owe everything to domestic workers.

This was a lot of missing the point and hurt feelings just to tell you #notallwhitepeople

And then the nannies’ kids are competing in the world with the wealthy kids the nannies are raising—in school, for places/spots at specialized schools, seats at college, and then later, jobs—and you see another way in which economic disparity perpetuates itself...

Three of my aunts from Trinidad did that, they made the sacrifice came here worked for a period of time then went home. One of my aunts had already grown children at home it was not so bad for her she made the money and went home. The other two needed to build their houses back home, they came and worked. They viewed…

Fun facts for y’all: Black women have the highest labor force participation rate among women (62.7% vs 57.2% of white women) and are the only group of women with a higher labor force participation rate than their male counterparts. Black women who worked full-time, year-round had median annual earnings that were 65…

They are also still, literally, raising America. As a Trinidadian-American who grew up middle class in NYC, I’ve always been acutely aware of the tremendous amount of Caribbean and African women raising middle and upper class children in this city. Caribbean nannies are a Brooklyn mainstay and, now that I’m an adult,…

A well meaning non-black friend was upset that Michelle Obama didn’t work when she became First Lady but focused on raising her children (and you know, actually being First Lady). I had to kindly explain to her that black women having been working outside of the home since the moment they stepped foot in this country…

Black women are still raising America. Now its just showing white folks how they can overcome their racism and white privilege. Now its carrying the vote. Now its breaking it down for yall in the comments because Becky dont understand. But wtf do i know 😷😷😷😷😷😷😷🤐🤐🤐🤐🤐🤐🤐🤐🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

Thanks for this. My grandmother was a domestic worker. Descended from house negros working in the kitchen. Family goes back to the Jefferson plantation in the 1790s.
