"The Fugates family had an extremely rare genetic defect that caused methemoglobinemia. This condition resulted in their blood not carrying as much oxygen as someone without it.
As a result, their blood is darker, making the skin of Caucasians look blue and their lips look purple."
A new trailblazer in media! Just in time for #womenshistorymonth

"Forty years later, the oldest Black-owned investment firm in the U.S. manages more than $16 billion in assets. Most of that is in mutual funds and separately managed accounts, though $1.45 billion is in a new private equity fund dubbed Project Black. The brainchild of his co-CEO Mellody Hobson, the new fund aims to buy existing mid-size businesses and install Black and Latino executives who can build them into top tier suppliers to the S&P 500. "

"bad actors are now seeking out more nascent spaces to execute low-tech, high-impact attacks within education, gaming, aviation and automotive. In fact, we’ve already seen several high profile DDoS attacks in the latter two categories in the last months. Expect that to continue."

"Women's History Month:
Nannie Helen Burroughs advocated for the civil rights of African-Americans and women. She founded the National Training School for Women and Girls (1909), the first vocational school in the U.S. for African-American women."
"Norfolk actually had three privately operated slaves jails on what is now green space near St. Paul’s Boulevard, Main Street, and Waterside Drive.
His research also proved Norfolk police of that era profited from holding, chasing, and abusing slaves."
Speaking of U.S. Marshalls...
"Over the 35 years that Bass Reeves served as a Deputy United States Marshal, he earned his place in history by being one of the most effective lawmen in Indian Territory, bringing in more than 3,000 outlaws and helping to tame the lawless territory."
"Here’s the problem: the idea that someone’s eyes would only allow them to see people of lighter skin tones would be utterly ridiculous. When it comes to cameras, that actually isn’t always too far off."

"In the sixteenth century, New Spain, as Mexico was then called, brought an estimated 200,000 enslaved Africans to the region. The port of Veracruz, which borders the Caribbean, was the primary arrival point for these ships and as a result, the city continues to reflect a strong influence in its music, dance, cultures, and food."

Once you start offering ultimatums in any relationship, the relationship is over. Definitely don't do this. Not on LinkedIn. Not on any social media! You want people to stop talking to you, just block them! Unfollow them! Easy! Why be so brittle and controlling? JUST MOVE ON!!!!
Also, what is the logic in inviting someone for coffee, but if they reply, you're gonna block them! Just madness!!! Some people have productive coffee meetings somehow, but not me. I'll drink coffee at home from now on thanks.

"Talent is insignificant. I know a lot of talented ruins. Beyond talent lie all the usual words: discipline, love, luck, but, most of all, endurance.

Don't ask me to tolerate Nazis. I'm not tolerating Nazis. On social media? Please! Get 'em outta here.
Nazis are not in my range of tolerance. If they are in yours, that's a you problem. I don't want or need that.
Some of y'all, especially on #blackhistorymonth, need to get your range of tolerance together. If you're tolerating Nazis, then people like me SEE YOU AS NAZIS. Period.
