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!

348. I was asked about diversity fatigue & allyship during my keynote. My response might surprise you.
While speaking at a corporate event, an audience member asked me about diversity fatigue and how to be a better ally. I shared my response and I believe that my response is really the approach we should take in building a community where everyone can be celebrated and not tolerated. Let me know what...

347. It’s great to see Black men defend Jasmine Crockett against Stephen A. Smith, Trump, and others.
It’s unfortunate but not surprising that @stephenasmith has chosen to make #jasminecrockett a target but it is great that so many Black men have been stepping up publicly to defend her. I hope she draws some comfort in that. The fact of the matter is that #stephenasmith is a do-called democrat...

345. Mainstream media misses the real reason behind Pete Hegseth's Pentagon press plan
The mainstream media is not looking at the #pentagon media story from the right angle. #trump and #petehegseth WANT the media gone. They didn’t expect the news agencies to bend the knee. They WANTED to have @oann be the only press voice for the Pentagon, similar to #oann became the voice f...

344. Is Stephen A. Smith MAGA or not? He only blames democrats for Ukraine with no smoke for Trump.
@stephenasmith blamed all 3 of the last democratic presidents for what happened and is happening in Ukraine but has no words for #trump and his role in BOTH of his presidencies. #stephenasmith should jsut come out as #maga but he know once he does that he will lose his value to his brand. He ...

343. Happy that hostages are released, but I don't trust Trump, Netanyahu, or Hamas in the days ahead
I am happy for the families of Israelis and Palestinians who are being united with their families. I don’t trust #trump, #netanyahu, or #hamas to lead to a sustainable peace. What do you think?

342. Why isn't the media honest about 3 facts of the 2024 election? Are they sabotaging 2026 & 2028?
It’s sad to see so may forms of media fail to acknowledge 3 takeaways from the 2024 election. There’s an accepted narrative that just isn’t true. I see this not only across MAGA outlets, but also liberal outlets as well as independent media outlets as well. Check out the 3 reasons ...

341. Stephen Miller did NOT make a mistake talking about plenary authority!
In the @CNN interview that has gone viral, White House Deputy Chief of staff Stephen Miller said #trump had “plenary authority” which basically means limitless power and then he froze. #cnn then edits the video. Some are saying it was a slip of the tongue. This is EXACTLY what he belie...

340. "Y'all supposed to be choking Mexicans!" Joan Baez was right about America
In a video that has gone viral, a man is heard screaming at ICE agents that they shouldn’t be choking the Black man they are recording but they are supposed to only be going after Mexicans. This is the reason #trump is thriving. Divide and conquer. ICE agents should be choking NO ONE! This mom...

339. Diddy verdict will hopefully be a cautionary tale
There needed to be consequences for what #diddy did. I hope the #diddytrial serves as a cautionary tale for others. #hiphop artists generally escaped consequences of the #metoo movement. What do you think?
