¡Qué interesante información! La diosa de la justicia. Bueno, acá la representan ciega y sosteniendo una balanza.

Relief of the Goddess Ma’at

A detail of the image of the goddess Ma’at, wearing an ostrich feather of truth. Ma'at was the symbol of the cosmic order, truth, and justice. It was believed that there were two of them: one for the living and one for the dead.

New Kingdom, 19th Dynasty, reign of Seti I, ca. 1290-1279 BC. Now in the National Archaeological Museum of Florence.

Exactly. Which is why I find that a very good way to embody service to Sekhmet, fierce Warrior of Ma'at, is behaving according to such principles the best we can.

i sincerely believe the best offering to ma’at is not food set by an icon of the NTRW, but being fiercely, endlessly good to other people; to be kind whenever possible, to defend each other’s livelihoods and dignity, to take good care of ourselves, to respect our planet and the life of plants and animals (not only for its utility to human beings, but for its own sake), and to always be humble enough to realize when we’re wrong and when our ideas and actions need to change.

Me, a radical ass bitch: Oh bet! So corporations, capitalism, and the police are isfet. And the protestors rn are ma'at! gotchu gotchu gotchuuuu

the fact that there's no ancient egyptian themed radfem blogs/urls is fucking insane. we have greek and roman but not egyptian. bastet? hathor? ma'at? sekhmet?....unfortunately men have ruined isis and nut, but anyway...even like, cleopatra, hatshepsut, nefertiti. WE NEED MORE ANCIENT EGYPT RADBLR.

Your Majesty,

It is as if you manifested in this world to be adored and cherished. Blessed with royal charisma and a natural grace, your Venusian energy is often happily welcomed. Even with afflictions, there is just something(s) about you that others value.

A Venusian is blessed to enjoy the material aesthetics and splendors of this world. They understand high-quality, material value in items and prefer the nicer things. They have an inherent taste for what is aesthetically pleasing. The Venusian tends to collect all of these things... while being on the journey to understanding that they can't collect people.

At your core… you are here to create and increase the value, beauty, harmony, and love in the world around you.

It's all about life’s pleasures when you’re a child of Venus and they float diplomatically, steadily seeking pleasure of all forms, whether this be from material means, the five senses, or even the addictive taste of social relevance.

╰┈➤ Think: Serena VDW from Gossip Girl, waltzing around with her “Golden Retriever” energy lol. Beyoncé, (Venus 1H) no matter the rumors... honestly can she actually ever be canceled? Jasmine Tookes (model) has such a Venusian complex, Venus 1H)

With this energy dominant in the natal chart, you can become a natural feminine role model for the women in your life. Venus is a benefic and a lucky chart ruler energy. But, this does not come without its lessons usually involving worth, value, and balance.

-`♡´--`♡´--`♡´--`♡´--`♡´--`♡´--`♡´--`♡´--`♡´--`♡´--`♡´-

In astrology, the gifts of Venus manifest in:

⋆˚⋆˚ ❥ TAURUS (fixed Earth) 2nd House (Possessions, Values, Skills) understands tangible & personal worth but is seeking to understand the value of intangible beauty in life.

⋆˚⋆ ❥ LIBRA (cardinal Air) 7th House (Marriage and Partnership) understands how to create beautiful social and romantic relationships based on justice, but is seeking to understand the true value of self love & worth.

-`♡´--`♡´--`♡´--`♡´--`♡´--`♡´--`♡´--`♡´--`♡´--`♡´--`♡´-

If you control the feminine deity,

you control the feminine.

VENUS (Aphrodite to the Greeks, Hathor to Ancient Egyptians) is the Goddess of love, feminine energy, erotic desire, harmony, balance, and to some motherhood.

Greco- Roman Mythology:

When consuming any ancient mythological texts, one must consider the social and political attitudes or even agendas during that time period to add context. This female social status very clearly carries over into their mythology.

-`♡´--`♡´--`♡´--`♡´--`♡´--`♡´--`♡´--`♡´--`♡´--`♡´--`♡´-

🐚 In Ancient Greece: "Greek women had virtually no political rights of any kind and were controlled by men at nearly every stage of their lives." (source)

🐚 In Ancient Rome: "Unlike society in ancient Egypt, Rome did not regard women as equal to men before the law." (source)

Glamour is the enemy of truth.

Her sordid birth is GLAMOURIZED in an undeniably gorgeous painting: “Birth of Venus” by Sandro Botticelli; 1486 (see below).

🐚 This beautiful portrayal led to Venus being OFTEN glamourized by women, especially here on Tumblr. We feel empowered by her, which is justified. But, her Greco-Roman mythology is anything but empowering. No shade, but it embodies the social limits and pain for women within the dominant European culture. 🐚 The Goddess is often presented on display, (as above) her womanhood made a spectacle! Her very "feminine" form is written to have manifested from the discarded sexual organs of a male God, (Uranus), Also then.. technically her father.

This is a DIVINE Goddess and YET ...

Her adoptive father, Jupiter (Zeus), literally sold her to her "husband", Hephaestus (Vulcan), like property.

She has petty grudges stemming from vanity, tormenting beautiful young maidens.

She engages in frequent, extramarital love trysts with a sibling, Ares (Mars)

... & we're supposed to romanticize this??? ✋🏾(It's giving Cersei Lannister).

-`♡´--`♡´--`♡´--`♡´--`♡´--`♡´--`♡´--`♡´--`♡´--`♡´--`♡´-

🐚 Negative divine feminine imagery creates a space to demonize the many beautiful traits associated with Venus! This became especially apparent after the bloody global shift into Christian and Catholic dominance.

-`♡´--`♡´--`♡´--`♡´--`♡´--`♡´--`♡´--`♡´--`♡´--`♡´--`♡´-

and alas life imitates art:

"HOTTENTOT" VENUS

🐚 The Greco-Roman/ European depiction of Venus being on full display makes a disgusting reappearance in their humiliation, brutalization, and rape of naturally curvy and voluptuous African women. 🐚 Most notably, a South African Khoikhoi (or Khoisan) woman named Saartjie (or Sara) Baartman, who was fiendishly deemed the: "Hottentot Venus." (a racial slur; see image below) Her divinely feminine body was, like Venus , put on live display and defiled for ANY paying Europeans. Most all had never witnessed such divine beauty, 1810. (source) 🐚 They were socially conditioned to gawk, hyper-sexualize, and inflict pain upon the female form. Even after death, she was taken in 1816 and displayed in a French museum until as late as 1985."

Venus Figurine:

🐚 This grotesque misuse of Venus in the news article title takes its inspiration from: The Upper Paleolithic “Venusian figurine”, an example the “Venus of Willendorf” (28-25,000 BCE; see below) which also shows pronounced hips and figure. Men were said to carry these in thought of women. However, the exposure is none short than Venus' own in the Botticelli painting.

🐚 While similar in their representation, the Greco Roman translation of this Goddess is far too crass and none of Venus' listed Greco-Roman origin stories have any symbolic feminine connection or adoration to the actual bull or scales! LOL. So, I went on my search to connect the lost ancient mythological mysteries that did not make it past the Euro-Colonialism eradication and re-naming. 🔎🕵️

"Mother of the Pharaohs"

taurus: the horned cow🐄

HATHOR is the (Ancient Egyptian Goddess of the Divine Feminine, Love, Fertility, and even expression of female sexual desire). The Goddess is a cow or a maiden with cow horns, typical symbol of Taurus.

How is Venus connected to Hathor?

🐄 Since the moment they step foot in the "ancient New York City" that was Ancient Egypt, their European neighbors were enamored of Ancient Egypt's Neter (Gods), especially the "Mother of the Pharoah's". The Greco-Roman nations would come to conquer Egypt. Under Alexander the "gr8" in 332 B.C., they renamed one of the seven major African cities that worshipped Hathor: "Aphroditopolis" or City of Venus and made it a CAPITAL of its district. 🐄 The Venus planet symbol ♀ is literally the African Ankh. This fascination and renaming is like the renaming of Thoth into Mercury, Hermes, or "Hermes Trismegistus". (some say they explain it with "reincarnation.") You, as the reader, decide which mythology matches the energy best for yourself.

Mythological Origins:

🐄 Hathor is said to be born from the eye of Ra, like Sekhmet. She was thought of as beauty, love, grace incarnate. Her presence is said to exude an aura of allure, femininity, and attraction. She embodies passionate expressions of desire, love, and the pursuit of exquisite living. 🐄 A maternal symbol, she is considered the mother or nourisher of all of the Pharaohs. The presence of the Goddess in a Pharaoh's royal court is essential to ensure the connection to the divine. 🐄 Music and dance are another keystone of Hathor's energy. The female body is created to release tension and trauma with the very movement of your hips! Connect with your inner Goddess! 🐄 Symbols for Hathor: Cows, Sun disk with Cow Horns, Lotus Flower, Sistrum, Protective Cobra, Mirrors, and Cosmetic jars.

Why the cow? 🐄

🐄 Ancient Kemet (Egypt) connected their Gods to the natural skills, gifts, and talents of the animals within their ecosystem. This is the reason their Gods’ are called Neter, like “Nature". (For example: Lions of Leo are native to Africa) 🐄 The African cattle breed: “Ankole-Watusi" has female cows with very large horns… similar to the male bull. These horns are depicted holding the sun disk upon the head of Hathor, (as seen above & below in the Egyptian bas reliefs).

🌷Cows are the mothers!🌷

┈➤ Bulls are the male cow. Heifers are the females without offspring.

🐄 The natural feminine physical traits associated with the cow are: plush eyelashes, a pretty symmetrical face, pronounced nipples that produce milk, and wide hips. 🐄 However, the cow also provides fertilizer, which brought forth the agriculture of the African Nile Valley. The cow , not bull...is a perfect fertility symbol.

Hathor provides the Pharaoh the ANKH or “Venus planet symbol.” ♀ (see below)

Bas Relief of the goddess Hathor, Temple of Horus, Edfu, Egypt, Ptolemaic Period, c251 BC-c246 BC

"soft life"🐄

🐄 I imagine a Taurus (or 2nd houser) thriving in the energy of the cow, frolicking the lush green lands, eating their fill, and providing nourishment. If the 5 senses of a Taurus are satisfied, they are content. 🐄 They will create this value around them, often ensuring that their spaces smell good, the food is prepared excellently, and only the best to drink it down. Access to a Taurus is access to their natural value. 🐄 They will bless you with gifts that you need because they care enough to pay attention and want to increase your value too.. all while being loyal! I love Taurus energy, so similar to cancer... but less mood swings.

(noun). a person, especially a woman, who pursues a lifestyle of buying luxury items or of seeking them as gifts from lovers and admirers.

🐄 Taurus most often manifests Venusian gifts in the physical and sensual. This can be "classically" feminine physical traits, such as wider hips or ample bosoms, etc. On a negative, these traits can be hyper-sexualized or demonized while they are young, like their sister sign, Scorpio. But, it can also be literal material gifts and blessings.

🐄 On a positive, Venus will bless them with options! Many suitors will present these Earthly gifts, writing love poems to woo the feminine cow. Taurus may find pride in the flattery that comes with this treatment and beauty privilege. They are used to being adored (unless badly aspected).

Beware the love Bomb.

🐄 In love, these cows are especially vulnerable to being victims of love bombing. (When a potential suitor bombards one too quickly with serious promises, excessive flattery, and material gifts. This can be friends as well.🧿) The key here is to not allow flattery to falsely parade as love.

🐄 Taurus (2nd house) carries a natural royal energy and an air of grace. It’s your silent, but solid confidence of being a fixed sign. They are extremely loyal when they consider you kin. However, this dogmatic belief system can result in you charging your horns into sketchy territory. This reminds me of John Snow and his “honor” energy (from Game of Thrones).

it’s nearly impossible to change your mind.🌸

🐄  In love, this can be ignoring all of your friends over a partner who is not good for you. You find yourself giving all of your love, loyalty, and even money (most have a language of gift giving and receiving) to an undeserving soul. On the bright side, these tragedies will result in a tower moment marked with major transformation (also like sister sign Scorpio).🌷 🐄 Ultimately, I feel and often see that the Taurus (2nd house) native will be challenged to vacate the creature comforts in which they enjoy in order to transform like their sister sign, Scorpio. When in doubt, do NOT choose the Hephaestus (safe choice).

"Queen of the Earth"

libra: moral scales ⚖️

MA'AT (Ancient Egyptian Goddess rules balance, justice, harmony, law, order, and morality.) She is depicted as a maiden adorned with beautiful wings, very similar to Isis.

⚖️ I often find my beautiful Libran queens confused about the meaning of the scales and how it connects to femininity. I hope to be a light bearer. ⚖️ Ma'at represents the typical light feminine attributes in my opinion (elegance, forgiveness (justice), and nurturing energy (Venus). Similar to Librans, who inherently know how to enact these gifts create harmony in their social spaces and float amongst varying personalities. (Think: Lady Liberty or Lady Justice). However, the sign is the masculine side of Venus.

Mythological Origins:

⚖️ Ma'at is also a daughter of Ra, sometimes written as his wife. She manifested with Ra from the waters of Nun (Chaos). Her existence brought order to the realms . She is often depicted holding an ANKH and a scepter to symbolize power and eternal life. (See Below) Some sources say that she was married to Thoth (Mercury) and birthed 8 children, known as "The eight gods of Hermopolis." (Just like Aphroditopolis)

Why the Queen of the Earth?

⚖️ As mentioned, Ma'at was said to be present at the beginning. She was present when Ra stood upon her "mound" (seen above) for balance as he created the realm of Earth... ending chaos. This placed the Goddess in charge of the cycle of seasons, the movements of the sun, moon and stars, all parts of religion, relationships, and the moral actions of both mortal and God-alike. This is very powerful!

⚖️ The Libra native can carry very similar themes. In life, they may feel the need to regulate amongst their social circles and be the organized hostess. Cardinal energy blesses them with the drive to girl boss through anything!

⚖️ The ethical and spiritual foundation of Ancient Kemet was presented by a woman. The head of religious worship and justice was called "Priest of Ma'at". From this, you gather that Ancient Kemet was nothing as Egypt is today in terms of equality for women. Women were free to own their own properties, businesses, marry one-another, divorce their husbands, and even rose to be Pharaoh like in the case of Pharaoh Hatshepsut. (personal fave)

Why the scales? ⚖️

The Libran scales literally determined if a soul had lived their life with balance and morality! (7th House).

⚖️ The actions and morality of the Ancient Egyptian people were guided by a set list of commandments, known as the "42 Laws of Ma'at". These ancient texts predate the Bible, but have uncanny similarity in diction to the 10 Commandments. ⚖️ It was believed that Upon death, before one could enter the Duat (Underworld), the heart was weighed on the scales of Osiris (God of the Underworld) in comparison to a single feather of Ma'at. Osiris is linked to Saturn which is exalted in Libra. The weighing was done by Anubis (God of funerary practices and care of the dead).

“light as a feather”🪶

⚖️ If the heart weighed less or the same, the spirit was granted access to Aaru (a sort of heaven). This explains the scales of LIbra. If it did not, the heart was eaten and the native faded into nothingness.

(noun) a woman who acts as master of ceremonies, moderator, or who receives and entertains guests in her own home or elsewhere.

⚖️ The mythology of Ma'at is excellent... a little too excellent. She is like the oldest and favorite daughter who must be 100% perfect. Many Libra's may have father or projection issues in this way. The expectation of excellence begets pressure! ⚖️ This carries over into the relationships of course. This balancing act is where things get tricky for the Libra. This can manifest as people pleasing to keep the peace with friends, family, romantic partners, or co-workers. There can be a distaste for controversy or not wanting to damage the public image. It gives "Dollhouse" by Melanie Martinez vibes at its worse. Rich Auntie vibes at it's best!

Their scales will be tipped. ⚖️

⚖️ The Libras/7th housers will find themselves in situations where they have to STAND on their boundaries. It's like a self-actualization that has to happen. Venus is teaching them to respect and protect their Venusian gifts. Similar to Taurus. Venusian energy will bless you with generous suitors. BEWARE THE LOVEBOMBERS. ⚖️ They bear the reputation of almost needing to be in a relationship. This is obviously due to the 7th house ruling, but also stems from it's less favorable position with the sun.(Father). It is also kind of true, because it is apart of your life path. ⚖️ While it can be painful to have to experience relationship after relationship, these are apart of your life path and contribute to your glow up! To love and be loved is truly a blessing. You guys are blessed with so many loving friendships and romantic experiences!

Regina George?

⚖️ There can be some performative behavior and some judgment! After all, this is scales. Blessed with beauty, style, and grace... they can end up judging those who aren't. Mean Girl vibes. But, I believe this comes from the Libran urge to judge and lead the masses LOL. Ma'at energy. ⚖️ Despite any of this, Libra is the least slandered amongst the air signs (unless it’s Libra moon… I see quite a bit of slander? LOL.) Ma'at seems to bless the Libran with this air of favor. It's like they can really do no wrong, even sometimes after doing so. People are going to think the better of them 9/10 because the Libra has already established their character and value amongst social groups. The air just adds a bit more flow, allowing more harmonious energy in their relations.

Conclusion

♀ The intention of this post is to shed some light on lesser known mythology and symbolism of the planet Venus. I also believe that it is worth noting a very beautiful pattern among Venus and her signs.

♀ The Libran scales and Taurus Cow horns both resemble the female reproductive system. They also resemble the African Ankh symbol (of fertility and eternal life). Nature makes no mistakes and everything has duality, just as the Ancient Egyptians understood so well. It’s beautiful. (See below).

Thank you for reading!! Wishing you blessings!

Just a reminder Family- All of Us may not B on The Same Page, but We're ALL reading The Same Book. -Luv Y'all!

I am absolutely enamored w/ the very concept of The Black Woman. She is my physical & spiritual complement. I recognize the beauty & intellect of Other Women, but The Black Woman is My Counterpart. NO ONE knows Me like She does. I can B My Unapologetic Self w/ her. She is a wonderful mix of Beauty, Wisdom, & Strength. She IS The Gateway 2 The Divine. Society has tried 2 pit Black Men & Women against each other, but We have a Covenant. We R the 1st Born of The Most High.

When We 'Work', The World 'Works'. The 'ills' of The World, can B linked 2 the oppression of Black/ Indigenous People globally. Curious how EVERY GROUP has an issue w/ Black/ Indigenous People, but NO ONE can give an example of 'Black Hegemony' perpetrated on Any of these 'Groups'. I can feel Myself retreating from Society, & shifting My attention more on the Women in My Life: My Queen, The Elders, Sisters, & The Babies who will B Future Queens... If We want 2 reestablish Our Position, We 1st have 2 reestablish Our Relationship as Men & Women. Man may B The Will, but Wo(mb)Man IS The Way.

-May The Most High keep & nurture Our Black Women

Are Ye & Kyrie really Anti- Semitic?

I have been following the turmoil over Ye & Kyrie Irving. Both R being accused of making Anti- Semitic statements, but did they? Ye said that he was going 'Def Com 3 on Jewish People', then elaborated on how Jewish Execs in Music & Media manipulate ADOS/ Black American Culture. Kyrie Irving posted a link 2 the 'From Hebrews to Negroes' book & documentary- sold on Amazon. The Media fallout suggests that Ye & Kyrie were plotting violence against Jewish people, but in reality, both were speaking on the 'Semitic' Roots of Blackfolk. 30Yrs ago, this wasn't an argument; why is it an issue now?

I remember a scene in Howard Stern's 'Private Parts', where his mother reminded him that he was 'half Black'. This wasn't refuted; in fact, it was socially accepted back then. The hoopla surrounding Ye & Kyrie is really stemming from the notion that Blackfolk identify w/ 'Semitic Tribes'. Kyrie's argument, is that he cannot B Anti- Semitic, because he IS Semitic. Ye makes a similar claim. Jewish Rabbis R lining up 2 take both men 2 Yeshiva, like Nick Cannon. Unlike Nick, Ye & Kyrie appear 2 B 'Standing on their Square'. Both have lost endorsements, but remain steadfast.

I find it curious how The Powers That B have done exactly what Ye says they always do, but No One is talking about that. The Man literally forecasted WHAT would B done 2 him, & WHO would do it. Blackfolk in particular have been pretty quick 2 denounce Ye. They cannot refute his claims, so they focus on comments he made about George Floyd. It turns out that Ye was quoting a documentary put out by 'The Daily Wire', but NO ONE is calling them out. Meanwhile, European Jews that agree w/ Ye have been largely silent. Blackfolk can learn a thing or 2 about solidarity from The Jewish Community.

It's odd 2 see Mainstream Media paint Black Men as Toxic Masculine, Anti- Asian, Anti- Semitic, Homophobic, Identity Extremists; while in reality, Black Men R the biggest victims of Hate Crimes in America. No Group can point 2 a Period in Time, where they were subjected 2 Black American Hegemony; however, EVERY GROUP waits in line 4 their opportunity 2 profit from ADOS/ Black American Oppression. It's The American Way. The claims of Anti- Semitism levied on Black Men is almost comical. ADOS/ Black America could easily make claims of Anti- Black Racism against those making claims of Anti- Semitism.

I remember the Black American Museum in Alabama that was forced 2 retract an invitation 2 Alabama Native, Angela Davis, because Jewish Board Members didn't want her there. Jerry Heller, Lyor Cohen, & Jimmy Iovine ushered in the Era of Gangsta Rap, & prohibited Artists from creating songs that were more inspirational than destructive. This music wasn't meant 4 Us, it's 4 Suburban White Kids 2 fantasize about 'Black Ghetto Life'. Meanwhile, Blackfolk didn't refer 2 their neighborhoods as Ghettos & Slums before Daniel Patrick Moynihan & Norman Lear. The 'Ghettos', were in Eastern Europe- Warsaw, Poland comes 2 mind. Blackfolk didn't know about Ghettos & Slums, until White Politicians & Jewish Landlords created them.

Before this Period, Black & Jewish Communities shared a degree of solidarity. Blackfolk fought against Anti- Semitic sentiment leveled @ Eastern European Immigrants. Jewish Musicians like Benny Goodman integrated their Orchestras. ADOS/ Black American Soldiers helped liberate Nazi Concentration Camps. Jewish Managers & Agents booked Black Performers, & lent support during The Civil Rights Movement. Jewish Merchants in Black Neighborhoods hired locally, & maintained great relations w/ their customers... Things began 2 change after 1970.

Any unrest between the Black & European Jewish Community can probably B traced back 2 August 1991 in Crown Heights, Brooklyn & the deaths of Gavin Cato & Yankel Rosenbaum. 7Yr Old Gavin was the victim of a hit & run incident during an Orthodox Chabad Motorcade, where the assailant, Yosef Lifsh fled 2 Israel. The Black Community's outrage over the incident led 2 the death of Yankel Rosenbaum, a visiting Rabbinical Student. Since then, the narrative of Blackfolk practicing Anti- Semitism has grown over the years. Many of these incidents were 'Crimes of Convenience'. European Jews have a stereotype of carrying valuables & putting up little 2 no fight- The perfect 'Vic'.

What is insulting about this narrative, is how the Black Community is being collectively compared w/ Neo Nazis, over the actions of a few Criminal Opportunists. We collectively cannot eat off of their efforts. Meanwhile, European Jews in The Entertainment Industry produce & distribute horrible depictions of Black Life, that R rarely true, but culturally damaging 2 Our Community on a global scale. We single out those individuals. We do not generalize that All European Jews behave this way; even though their Collective Community eats well off of their efforts.

I understand that a 'Program' is in operation. The Subharmonic Frequencies, Visual Imagery, & Post Hypnotic Suggestions that We have been bombarded w/ over the last 30Yrs should have reduced Us 2 functionally illiterate 'Super Predators' & Sexual Deviants. About 1/3 of Us still have Knowledge Of Self. We remember how Our Ancestors taught The Khazarians Judaism back in the 8th Century. We remember the Black Orthodox Jews in Poland, who were also victims of Nazism. We remember the Black Jews of Spain (Hebrew Israelites) that sailed w/ Columbus, Cortez, & Pizzaro. We know about the discovery of Ancient Hebrew Writings (Phoenician/ Paleo- Hebrew Script) in Indigenous/ American Indian territories... We also remember European Jews like the Lehman Brothers, who built their wealth off of Slave Labor.

The Mainstream Media can play semantics w/ what Ye & Kyrie Irving actually said, but all anyone has 2 do, is listen 4 themselves. Neither of these Brothers should B silenced. The Real Issue, is that both Men identify as Semites. I'm confounded, because The Israelis already performed a genealogy of their Citizens, & NONE of the European Jews descend from the 12 Tribes. That said, Palestinians, Black Israelis, Yemenis, Ethiopians, Kenyans, Nigerians, Ghanaians, Angolans, West Indians, Afro Latinos, & ADOS/ Black Americans have been identified as descendants. Our Scholars have been telling Us this 4 decades.

It's not hard 2 fathom what 'The Powers That B' intend. Black Men R not just The Face of Criminal Behavior; now we're The Face of Anti- Asian Hate, Anti- Semitism, & Homophobia. As a Collective, ADOS/ Black Men R being shut out of Education, Trade Unions, & jobs that guarantee a Living Wage. What's open, is Sports, Entertainment, & Unskilled Labor; occupations that include a growing # of immigrants. No One is feeling sorry 4 Us- we're portrayed as Animals. The # of Black Men killed by Police Officers after George Floyd only proves that Black Lives Don't [Really] Matter. FBI Hate Crime Stats say that there should B an Anti- Black Hate Crime Law, but we're the only Group w/o [Meaningful] Hate Crime Legislation.

-It's Time 2 Collectively Stand on Our Square.
