Notorious RBG | RIP

shelbylaneMD's insight:

 

Ruth Bader Ginsburg had a legion of fans and the bobbleheads and other merch to prove it, but the late Supreme Court justice also redrew the roadmap to gender equality.

Was there anything that wasn’t cool about Ruth Bader Ginsburg?

Even the late Supreme Court justice’s nickname—Notorious RBG—has a cool backstory.

THE HISTORY and LEGACY of BLACK POWER

Legacy of Black Power as History Repeats Itself

How the Black Power Movement Influenced the Civil Rights Movement
"With a focus on racial pride and self-determination, leaders of the Black Power movement argued that civil rights activism did not go far enough.
Sarah Pruitt"

"Stokely Carmichael’s Role in Black Power

Though the author Richard Wright had written a book titled Black Power in 1954, and the phrase had been used among other black activists before, Stokely Carmichael was the first to use it as a political slogan in such a public way. As biographer Peniel E. Joseph writes in Stokely: A Life, the events in Mississippi “catapulted Stokely into the political space last occupied by Malcolm X,” as he went on TV news shows, was profiled in Ebony and written up in the New York Times under the headline “Black Power Prophet.”

Protestors are asking for more; What are they asking for?

Black Lives Matter protests for U.S. racial justice reach a new dimension

"A common message of the day was a determination to transform outrage generated by Floyd’s death into a broader movement seeking far-reaching reforms in the U.S. criminal justice system and its treatment of minorities.

 

They also inspired anti-racism protests around the globe, as demonstrators from Brisbane and Sydney in Australia to London, Paris, and other European cities embraced the Black Lives Matter message."

"In Washington, tens of thousands of people chanting “I can’t breathe” and “Hands up, don’t shoot” rallied at the Lincoln Memorial and marched to the White House on Saturday (6.6.20) in the biggest protest yet during 12 days of demonstrations across the United States since Floyd died. "

A hard illness to diagnose

Subtle early problems can include loss of smell, acting out dreams, dizziness when standing up, constipation and anxiety. In a 2016 article about Robin Williams’ experience titled “The Terrorist Inside My Husband’s Brain,” his widow Susan Schneider Williams highlighted gastrointestinal issues and anxiety as early unexplained changes.

G.O.P Responds to Public Demands for Police Changes and appoints their "only" Black Man, Tim Scott, S.C. to lead the way. 

G.O.P. Scrambles to Respond to Public Demands for Police Overhaul

 

“We are still wrestling with America’s original sin,” Mr. McConnell told reporters on Capitol Hill. “We try to get better, but every now and then, it is perfectly clear we are a long way from the finish line. And I think the best way for Senate Republicans to go forward on this is to listen to one of our own who has had these experiences.”

 

GOP uses their only Republican Black Man for Police Reform

                                     

 

 

shelbylaneMD's insight:

The G.O.P. thinks that one black republican Senator from  South Carolina has "experiences" to lead the way and help them make changes in the police problem and racism.  He's  "One of our own".   So now they own him too!!

 

“We are still wrestling with America’s original sin,” Mr. McConnell told reporters on Capitol Hill. “We try to get better, but every now and then, it is perfectly clear we are a long way from the finish line. And I think the best way for Senate Republicans to go forward on this is to listen to one of our own who has had these experiences.”

 

"He said that he had tasked the Republicans’ lone black member, Tim Scott of South Carolina, to lead a group of senators to draft a conservative response that they could get behind."

 

GOP uses their only Republican Black Man for Police Reform

 

He'll be thrown out if he doesn't proclaim more control.  What are his experiences?  Let's assume they just being black.
