She became popular when I was in university, too. I also listened to her radio show. She was so candid and informative. I learned so much. I could swear that I ran across one of her television shows here the other day.

No, you're still not getting it. In a magical world in which police also follow the law and are held accountable when they don't, yes, that would be the way to do it. In a world in which they can freely kill people of color, cooperation is neither a desirable nor wise course of action. It takes a special kind of…

There is no "America" without black people.

Philadelphia is another good example. Comcast/ Xfinity built a massive tower downtown and is working on another. You have rapidly gentrifying neighborhoods all around the city.
