$top The $teal In Winston Salem!!

STOP THE STEAL!!! Yesterday the East Ward Council stated that they would have some of this funding used for their #petproject African American History project. This is not uplifting the #taxpayers. Folks, please fight for your communities to get these funds. Surely you can see a need for your community to become better. Also City employees need a comparable raise increase -some departments where mostly there are Black & brown laborers. The City of Winston Salem is to distribute these funds to useful and much-needed projects.https://j.mp/3e0b6SI If you have ideas ie. Projects to empower Black People or other much-needed programs for our children and community uplift. We have been lied to about WIFI in our communities -ask for acess to #freewifi and structural renovations- #changeinredlininrules . They make policy to gentrify and destroy our communites. #StopTheSteal #StopTheSteal #misappropiation of funds for their pet projects is why we failed to have much needed projects. #Youmakethecall for these Goverment funds meant for you & not their #specialinterests. They #misappropiate far too much.

Choose Your Bandwagon

I'm Just Sayn.... I began to hear so much chatter about none of the 2 million pink pussy hat femes supported their caucasian sister during this horrific crisis. Just check your Caucasians FB pages and you can clearly see that not one word was written in support of their own & appears that because this heartbroken mother chose a handsome, intelligent black man as her husband seemed to have caused an extreme pause in caucasian support for her murdered child #DanteWright
Black Folks need to stop jumping on caucasian bandwagons and causes because it is clear they do not & will not support yours. Just look at us trying to live the life -liberty & pursuit to happiness has gotten us. #blackpoliticalparty is needed.

STOP TAKING WHAT"S OUR

Water Works was built in the Black Community because our 4 swimming pools were demolished by the City of Winston Salem. Black People have always had swim meets and were winners in this city. This City tore everything down that bonded the Black family. Since the opening of our own #SwimmingPool, the PoC families have complained that white people have taken over our recreational area in many aspects. I had to go take pictures the second year to prove that white lifeguards were enjoying our swimming pool with their family members while Black & Brown people were standing in line outside the pool with beads of sweat rolling down their faces- (I'm emotional right now as I write this) Please know that we welcome you but we have not had the opportunity to reintroduce our families to swimming again and we know our history that we could never use your pools safely. Please #CityofWinstonSalem provide us with Black & Brown Lifeguards. Asking Black & Brown Families to introduce your families to swimming again. Go & enjoy #WaterWorks Now that the Winston Lake Master Plans have been funded whites want to come and take over our Recreational facilities that were torn down in the '70s. Even the whites has been denying our Seniors from using the YMCA #StanLaw indoor pool for their #arthritis for their precious white Reynolds High swimmers which says Blacks can't swim in white water and wants to invade the entire area of our New #familyoriented Winston Lake for PoC. #WeDontForget https://rarehistoricalphotos.com/motel-manager-pouring-acid-water-black-people-swam-pool-1964/?fbclid=IwAR0ZSNd91NUcC90f2mkmbyBlhER4Ss0h_65gDfojtRLx1_WWiTz7RlYzn2I

TO WSSU- WE FOUGHT HARD & SHOULD NOT BE DISMISSED

#wssu should take another look at its board. We got rid of R.Barr because he actually lied during his campaign and said that he would look out for us-he didn't -he voted with the Republicans every step of the way at the school board. We voted him out of the School Board. Secondly, Board members politically serving another Ward should not be able to vote for the East Ward community. (you gave them permission) STOP SURRENDERING OUR BLACK LEGACY I have family dated back to 1952, my family member taught there, and a huge portion of my family attended & graduated every year to date there. I only took the annexed courses but I feel the #redsea Take a look at your board #wssu We are to share our space -wherever we are placed. much love- #UnionStation We #community fought hard. See you all January 21st, City Council

SAVE OUR BLACK HISTORY IN WINSTON SALEM

SAVE OUR BLACK HISTORY IN WINSTON SALEM!! The #Caucasians in Winston Salem will not allow our Historical Union Station to run unless they have control. I could see it clearly at the beginning of the new leader's (2018) reign of the East Ward. They surrounded the #blackleader like a band of Cowboys circling a Stagecoach (East Ward). One has planted themself in the WSSU board but has no Black Outreach or live among any Black people. The other one seemed to managed to convince the E.Ward leader to suggest a #whiteracist name for our Fairgrounds and go against the will of their constituents. The major #caucasians #stakeholders in the East End Planning used this leader to take our Black Dreams away. The other one seemingly claims to have concerns for #gentrification but has been buying up the Black community for #allentaterealtors and taking what could be #Blackwealth . They saw an eventual ownership takeover of all Black property aligned with downtown. I want Blacks to know that it seems the #Caucasian dominated Department Of Transportation that made sure that we would not have a fully #operating Train Station because it would bring greater Black wealth in the East Ward Community. So it appears when there are weakminded, with malice-liked leaders Black people get sold out. I'll never forget the day and *there will be a movie one day on this -that they sat on my porch knowing that there were not 1 but 2 security cameras recording them saying "Ewww! I didn't know it was so much power in council "and "There won't be no more suga daddies". So appears they enjoyed saying that to me because I've been an active community leader doing right by my people. Folks, I ask you all to stand strong For the East Ward. Any news source -I'll be glad to speak with you. Stop the #caucasian takeover!! City council meeting Jan 21st!! #Racism #CityofWSNC #27105 #BlackWealth #Takeover #Gentrification #WSCityCouncil #CaucasianStakeHolders My Association has been working on this project since 2005. https://j.mp/37H5Ikj

STOP HARASSING BLACK ELDERS IN WINSTON SALEM NC

STOP HARASSING MY BLACK SENIORS ABOUT SELLING THEIR HOMES!! I'm suggesting a #moratorium on people riding through our community and sending letters, postcards, and making these sometimes harassing phone calls. How would you feel if we did this in your neighborhood? This daily harassment is #mentalabuse of my Black Elders. To those that know me understand that I believe people treat you like they want to be treated and will get a taste of their own medicine. I will begin a group of folks to get the listing of Real estate owners/buyers & ride through your community & call repetitively your numbers as well. You are mean-spirited and abusive & persistent in your actions when you are told to stop. We ask that Legislature #AmberBaker to make a policy on these abusers of the Black communities. You may not be burning us down like #TulsaRaceMassacre but this is definitely #systemicracism by daily harassment of my Black people. Mr. Mayor, #AllenJoines you too can stop this as well. My people grow tired and should not receive this constant abuse from white people In #WSNC.
