unfortunate that the united states has been very successful at controlling narratives around word war 2 and positioning itself as the polar opposite of nazism and the main force fighting fascism when america was complicit in the holocaust. not only did american press report positively about hitler and the nazi party up until the end of the 30′s, some publications cooperated with nazi germany, american companies had investments and connections to nazi germany that they maintained until american involvement in the war, and companies like ibm in particular gave nazis the technology necessary to make the holocaust possible in the first place. some company owners themselves had nazi sympathies like henry ford and others just saw it as a business opportunity. the us denied entry to european jewish refugees and deported jewish refugees back to germany, many senators and other government officials during the 1930s openly supported nazism and worked to prevent the us from taking a side in ww2, and during the 30s large pro nazi rallies were held across the us. american eugenics movement, american race laws and american genocide set the model for the holocaust and there shouldnt be any discussion of nazism and the holocaust without also discussing the extent of american complicity in it.

This is the truest tweet I ever read. I never seen a mainstream haircair/beauty brand try to cater to black folks without doing exactly this. Always with the shea butter and gold packaging. It’s like the only way black women will know the product is “for them”.

Are we protecting Black Women or nah?

Over the past year, Brianna and her daughter (Journi) have unnecessarily endured and are currently surviving a web of trauma. Recent reports from UTA's Student Newspaper and a recent Channel 27 News documentary state:

A fellow student filed multiple outlandish false reports against her since 2019 including falsely telling Heather Snow (Dean of Students at UTA) that Journi was “dead in a 400-degree oven” at Baucum’s residence.

Male UTA police officers drug Brianna out of her shower (without clothing) and placed her in the squad car for questioning in response to one of the nearly 20 calls that this student allegedly made to police in the DFW area.

Brianna fears for her safety and states “Even now if I go outside, there will be police outside of the home.  Wherever I go on campus, police are always following me, stopping me for whatever reason.”

Unfortunately, UTA and other outlets continue to ignore Brianna’s reiterated calls for help and support, and the false allegations made by the fellow student-led UTA to place Brianna on academic probation. CPS also removed Journi from home and placed her in foster care where Journi became the victim of sexual and physical abuse.  Shockingly, the case is STILL ongoing, and Journi is STILL in foster care.
