So they ban my book from young readers, confuse me with @oprah , fail to specify what parts of my poetry they object to, refuse to read any reviews, and offer no alternatives…Unnecessary #bookbans like these are on the rise, and we must fight back 👊🏿 DONATE here:… pic.twitter.com/p96dlnrSp4

My issue isn't Black authored books and peoms or teaching REAL Black Foundational History because we earned our space. My issue is the LGBTQ using the Black cause to sneak perversion in to schools and society. Books like "It's Perfectly Normal " is straight up pedophilia placed in public schools for ages 10 and up. So they piigback ride off of the Black cause and sneak perversions in because they want to harm kids like the Greeks and Romans did. Stop using our struggle as a guise to harm society. Black Pastor John Amanchukwu ripped the school board for it. So get your kids out of public schools and home school your kids or find a good private or charter school!
Yoo..YOU sound fkn Ridiculous. YOU should hear YOU.
On TOPIC, this lil Dopey dwarf prick in Flori-Duh doing outlandish things for sport & the ppl of Flori-Duh is allowing it the bullsh*t.
This socially awkward prick will soon find out that stupid sh*t won't work across the country.
Yall better pay attention , get active & organize cuz these Crakas Really trying to turn back laws on a state level. Andnthey like pathetic low with their tactics..like kindergarten low🤣
@ 1:37, You, you, you are ridiculous and it's obvious you have zero African blood, you wierdo. You must be a pervert
^^^was talking to the 1st comment deflecting with ridiculous topic switching ...stay focused..stop worrying about the gays....The fight is with them YT men & women and their followers that ran down on the Capital trying to fkn STEAL an election.
Florida, the ignorant state.
@ 1:44 Who do you think the majority of them are, you moron? Lol. You know nothing about supremacy and how quick they turn on blacks. What about the 6 black kids the YT lesbian couple drove over the cliff? You are truly confused. You think it's a deflection because you can't comprehend the conversation. Lol Reading is foundamental. Go back and reread the post.
COSIGN @1:24. The illustrations in some of those books are also like WTF?! The agenda is real and laid bare for all to see. Non-compliance or home school your kids is the only solution. Thankfully Desantis and the FL legislature ain't having that f'ery!
Thank you, 1:37 and 1:44 PM. Divide and conquer is exactly what DeSantis and the GOP want. They want Gay and Black people to hate each other while they legislate hate! I’m not buying it.
Amanda Gorman is right. We must fight back because they are banning Blackness just for being Black. They can’t even take poetry written by us.
Stand strong people. Don’t let them minimize who Black Americans are, where we come from, and what we’ve added to humanity. Don’t let them do it.
They be hating
It's not just the Yt's. It's the Latino's that think they are Yt.
4:27 yup! Majority of DeSatan supporters are Cubans and Puerto Ricans smh.
That ludachris
@4:27 It’s erryone. Asians, Russians, Africans. They be hating us just like the be copying us. And all of them have benefited from the fights we’ve had against White Supremacy in this country. That’s what DeSantis don’t want people to learn about. Fukin haters.
Black ppl need to stay focus and not allow themselves to be distracted by Republicans & yt nationalists - this is a classic case of divide and conquer; they are banning African American studies AND critical race theory; they are banning books on the Jews AND the Holocaust; they are banning any books on the LGBTQIA experience and authors, as well as drag show performers; but they are allowing Asian studies...? Let that sink in. This is not the time to nitpick about how/where you agree with racists. Yes, kids shouldn't be exposed to "perversion" but is that what's really appearing in these books? Or, are those books helping young ppl understand their sexuality? A lot of young ppl experience puberty by age 12, why can't all groups have books that help them understand their body, and their feelings about those changes? Don't be naive or gullible; First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist
Then they came for the Socialists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Socialist
Then they came for the trade unionists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a trade unionist
Then they came for the Jews
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Jew
Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me
Don't let history repeat itself; if they're coming for the gays and the Jews, right now, then it's only a matter of time before you and the group you identify with are targeted.
Stay WOKE!
I felt strongly against banning books until I peeped an illustration myself. Soft porn have no place in a school's library. If these half grown kids want to look that up on their own time, they can do it the old fashioned way--off campus. There is no educational value in encouraging young girls to taste their own bodily fluids. You've read that right. That's actually in one of the books that some want banned. Of course Gorman's book shouldn't be banned. "They" are trying to lump black literature in together with the LGBT books.
^^^Stop it and stay on the subject. Go and read the full text of Amanda Gorman's poem THE HILL WE CLIMB then come back and tell us why her poem should be banned.
