The title of this thread is called "Angry Black Women".

On January 20, 2017 this picture was my Facebook avatar. It is Michelle Obama at the inauguration of the 45th president. About a month later, a white female person I know texted me "Can you change your avatar photo, now." Which I did. The following is a selection of the Angry Black Women avatars I used since. These Angry Black Women changed our lives for the better.

"I had spent many years pursuing excellence, because that is what classical music is all about... Now it was dedicated to freedom, and that was far more important." -- Ms. Nina Simone

I know all you Europeans love Nina Simone music. But she paid a hellish price for her activism. Never forget that.

When she was 10 years old, Amariyanna Copeny, former Little Miss Flint Michigan, wrote a letter to Barack Obama about the water crisis in Flint, Michigan. Her letter and her subsequent fund raising effort lead to Obama authorizing $100 million to fix the crisis.

And did it get fixed? Or was it like Mississippi State that took took the federal funding and did nothing to fix the water supply in black areas?

@JamesWingert @Alikufogo it was fixed. There was a huge settlement of over $600 million to the families, but none of the lying jackasses were convicted for the damages they caused to the people.
