From introduction: "I didn’t title this book CITOYEN.NE.S for nothing. I tried to talk about aspects of French and francophone cultures not much explored in other books.. the spelling of the title signals that this book is for everyone and about everyone.." #French open.umn.edu/opentextbook...

The Black Panther Party learned that sickle cell anemia was a neglected genetic disease affecting mostly people of African descent. Although disease had been known since 1910, it attracted little govt attention and even less funding. So the Panthers set up a screening program. #BlackSky #Disability

"Approximately 1 in 365 African American children are born with sickle cell, according to the CDC.. Tens of thousands of lower-income families with children suffering from sickle cell disease have applied for SSI. But roughly 76% of those applicants had their requests denied between 2015 and 2020."

Happy Fourth of July Your reminder that a large majority of Native Americans sided with the British during the American Revolution because they knew its success would result in their dispossession and that after the war Washington's inner circle spent the next 20 years ethnically cleansing Ohio

I got a small percentage and I’m diagnosed by the military and the state as having PTSD and all the wonderful things war brings. They used the excuse that all the trauma I experienced while living in the hood is mostly responsible. How the fuck did they conclude that? Like, can see in my past? 😑

A 2017 internal Veterans Affairs report shows Black veterans were more often denied benefits for PTSD than their white counterparts. The analysis crunched claims data from fiscal year 2011 through 2016. And disparate treatment started after WWI when it was still called shell shock. It continues.

Black veterans were denied VA benefits for PTSD more often than whiteswww.nbcnews.com “Ever since I came back from Vietnam, I knew that I had a problem, but I didn’t know what it was," said one Black veteran.

Also SERIOUSLY, stop giving me an error message if I take too long writing a post.

I feel that some of the energy being expended to get people to add alt-text should be redirected toward encouraging the makers of this platform to make the alt-text reminder option turned *ON* by default. jmtc.

"Since the colonial era, in times of peace and war, the African American experience of inequality included being denied medical treatment equal to that received by white peers. Unequal treatment continued during WWI. Not even the era's increasing humanitarian efforts were immune to inequality."

The Black Panthers fed and cared for the 504 occupation protesters. They have always been about community care. Racism and the media portrayal did them so dirty.
