An UPstander is someone who sees something and takes a stand. Here we will explore issues relating to social justice. Some posts will be motivational, some educational. Some times I may drop a rhyme or poem! The goal is to share stories and opinions that help us build a human family. Share your thoughts and share with others!

I believe that most people out there sincerely are wishing the best for #joebiden and his family. I unfortunately believe that very soon the cynical people in media spaces will take over and tie this to the election, create narratives about the American people being lied to, and make jokes about his health and this will be led by #donaldtrump. I am no prophet. Look at the jokes about #popefrancis or #paulpelosi. This country needs to make radical change towards dignity, which is what Biden has often called for. Whether you like him or not, care for him or not, the fight for basic human dignity should be something you want to fight for too. #cancer #prostatecancer #msnbc #joescarborough #msnbc #jaketapper

Folks! We don’t need the word and we never did! I don’t differentiate between the spellings. If the roots of the word is negative then the word will always be negative. We have so much richness that we can claim. We need to move on from this usage. This isn’t about respectability p...

Folks! We don’t need the word and we never did! I don’t differentiate between the spellings. If the roots of the word is negative then the word will always be negative. We have so much richness that we can claim. We need to move on from this usage. This isn’t about respectability politics. This is about US. Wherever you have been historically with this word, do we really STILL need it now? I don’t think so and it says something if this is a word you just “can’t stop” using. What do you think?

So much is being made about Pope Leo XIV’s #creole ancestry. Giving #sinners vibes for real. The fact of the matter is that people should not be gravitating towards him as the first Black pope. I don’t know of any history of this man claiming Blackness. We tried it with Tiger Woods and w...

So much is being made about Pope Leo XIV’s #creole ancestry. Giving #sinners vibes for real. The fact of the matter is that people should not be gravitating towards him as the first Black pope. I don’t know of any history of this man claiming Blackness. We tried it with Tiger Woods and we see how that went. I understand the history of the one drop rule in America but folks are going a bit too far by claiming this man as a Black man. #pope #popeleo #popeleoxiv #onedroprule #upstander #vatican #thevatican #popefrancis #robertprevost

I specifically separated @stephenasmith from “ignorant Black people” because he knows exactly what he is doing. The fact that @CNN would have Black people on who proudly admit to getting their information from @tiktok and @RealCandaceO shows the type of direction that #cnn is going as it relates to its Black guests. This is the video from @rolandsmartin that I am referring to in my post: https://youtu.be/qwPhtD0V3Cw?si=V_nihekVjXASq39r #rolandmartinunfiltered #lauracoates #abbyphillips #upstander

I will not see the #thunderebolts and #fantasticfour movies in theaters. There are no Black people with prominent roles. Sarah Niles is playing someone named Lynne in the Fantastic Four movie and Wendell Pierce is playing a Congressman. From what I can tell, there are no prominent roles and after seeing #sinners I don’t need to further tolerate our marginalization. Since #trump supporter #bobiger took over #disney, there is a noted effort to minimize Black stories, including the Captain America movie with Anthony Mackie where they basically removed anything Black about his storyline and Isaiah, the original recipient of the super soldier serum. It’s unfortunate but not surprising. Neither of these movies will receive my dollars. What about you? @marvel #marvelentertainment #sebastianstan #wintersoldier #marvelcomics #florencepugh

It is sad that so much attention has been placed on #michelleobama not attending the inauguration of #trump. She was not still the First Lady at that time. Jill Biden was First Lady at that time. The part that is never brought up is that Donald Trump did not attend the inauguration of President Biden and #mikepence had to conduct the ceremony. The hypocrisy is not surprising but is still frustrating to see. This is a bigger issue than when a twice removed #flotus decided to attend an inauguration or not. #upstander #craigrobinson #michaelsteele #imo #iheartradio
