Joe Biden’s Inaugural “We Are One” Event Celebrates The Resilience Of Black Culture And Heroism

This is the America President Joe Biden is trying to restore.

Republicans have a big problem with that and have filed two lawsuits to put a stop to it.

Toni V. Smith: 14 Years Later and Still Fighting
A boxer never steps into any ring ill-prepared. Muscles in their body must be trained for weeks to condition the body, build endurance, and enhance speed. The mind must be trained to focus. If a boxer believes they are stronger and faster than their opponent, they have already lost the fight. But how do you prepare for a fight when you know nothing about your opponent? There is no time to plan a strategy. It’s as if you are being sucker-punched from the get-go, leaving you confused – Is your on-the-defense mechanism to bob and weave or duck and jab? How does you prepare for the fight of your life?

Black America Is Burning With Pain
