Seriously!!! In 2020, I guess I shouldn't be surprised that capitalism is doing it's job and taking advantage of marginalized communities and specifically black pain. Now brands are taking advantage of us reposting and talking about their foolishness and disrespect. This is what we call outrage marketing and we must be cautious. Several brands have done and I will not mention the one who is guilty of the latest offense but I will say it is a repeat offender. Past brands that tried it are #gucci #prada #burberry #hm #outragemarketing #moncler #LeaveThemAloneAndBuyBlack #blackhistory #buyblack #mindovermelanin #blackhistory365 #sambo #jimcrow #racism

Also join the task of learning about one or all of the 4 people, places, or things that I am researching which include Kemet, Francisco Mendez, Rosa Parks, and Liberia.

Feelings are heavy all around given the recent passing of Kobe Bryant, his 13 year-old daughter, and others who were affiliated with his daughter's team. Shortly, after Kobe's passing there were feelings from the complete opposite side of the spectrum.  I was quickly reminded that everyone was not experiencing his passing in the same way due to previous situations related to sexual assault accusations.  These events really challenged me to explore the duality of emotions and examine other greats in history.
