How about we use facial recognition software to identify and locate participants of past lynchings?
The NYPD is using facial recognition to target protesters. This technology is notoriously inaccurate at identifying women + people of color. Given the NYPD’s troubling history of unlawful surveillance, their use of facial recognition tech must end now. gothamist.com/news/nypd-used…

BZ to Lt. j.g. Madeline Swegle on completing the Tactical Air (Strike) aviator syllabus. Swegle is the @USNavy’s first known Black female TACAIR pilot and will receive her Wings of Gold later this month. HOOYAH! @FlyNavy @NASKPAO #ForgedByTheSea #CNATRA #CNATRAgrads
Yes, don’t be like that person in the relationship who tries to “fix it” without listening.
If you are a recently "woke" white pastor and your answer is to go out there and fix the problem yourself, you're not that "woke". Take the time to lament and mourn the long history of racial injustice before trying to be the white Messiah to a problem you just woke up to.
Christians: How many Pastors (Lead or Senior) have you sat under in your lifetime?
“Weigh your critics, don’t count them. There is always a grain of truth that can be helpful.” - Reggie McNeal
Even when you are unfairly criticized, look for a nugget or two of truth in the criticism. You may find something fresh to repent of … and every opportunity to repent is also an opportunity to draw near to Jesus anew.

It gets better: God WANTS to have a relationship with you.
CHRISTIANITY: Belief that one God created a universe 13.79 billion yrs old, 93 billion light yrs in diameter (1 light yr = approx. 6 trillion miles), consisting of over 200 billion galaxies, each containing ave. of 200 billion stars, only to have a personal relationship with you.

#Disciple Sometimes God increases your vision prior to increasing your ability to act on it. In the gap you must have the fruit of the Spirit working to keep your humanity from jumping the gun. #Wisdom #Security #Stabilizers

Also needed is a simultaneous reemphasis on intentional discipleship. I hear you @taelor_gray
If we reallocated just 65% of the millions of dollars we typically "invest" into the Christian industrial complex (conferences, concerts, festivals, buildings) in order to meet the needs of schools and homes in our poorest communities, we'd wake up in the book of Acts.
C’mon somebody! 🙌🏾👏🏾
Let me fire up THIS hot take ..... y’all really LOVE to overhype when celebrity black men get dressed up and gather (the brunch, and celeb bdays) and call it “black excellence” and “positive vibes” ... BUT Black men get dressed up EVERY WEEK and gather positively at church 🥴

This is #facts ...It makes no sense to make the general public your trusted support group.
97% of the internet really don’t care about what you’re going through. I tell my church this ALL the time. Your pain becomes someone’s entertainment. Go get help, majority of these folks don’t care.
