I have to say coming to know so many wonderful Tanzanians really makes me ponder, what in the hell went so wrong(other than the obvious), seeing Africans are so humble while so many woke folks act so

Sadly enough, there IS an airline doing nearly that.  Thankfully,  they are outside the US.

The post itself seems to talk about actions and lifestyle choices, not race.

It depends on whether it was in response to something, and, if so, to what.

I'm not on Facebook and never intend to be, so someone else would have to answer that.

The only things I've found about Paul Bowles and Delta were this article, the LinkedIn profile Boiler posted and comments to a couple Instagram posts from the Delta CEO. Something feels not accurate here in some way, but I don't know what aspect is wrong.

Just seemed coincidental? Seems a legit BLM site.

Yes, but I have questions. The main one is why a BLM website would have a url that is "gossipofthecity".
