Oprah, you might be on to something here...
Due to the recent fires, Maui residents are worrying a rebuilt, Lahaina could slip into the hands of wealthy outsiders.
Oprah's recent purchase, revealed in sales deeds, means she now owns around 1,000 acres of land on Maui.
520-acre plot for $3.89 million (2023)
330 acres for $2.47 million (2023)
Two 10-acre swaths of land for $100,000 each (2022)
The controversy of millionaires buying up land in Hawaii was also highlighted in December 2021 when Mark Zuckerberg and his wife, Priscilla, bought 110 acres of a former sugar plantation on the Hawaiian island of Kauai.
The land added to the couple's 1,300 acre $ 100 million luxury estate, which has made them the target of critics, slamming them for trying to 'colonize' the island.
Zuckerberg was also accused by some of trying to force the tenant farmers from their historic plots, and in 2017 he apologized in the local newspaper, explaining that he was abandoning his quiet title actions and would 'work together with the community on a new approach'.
Let me remind you
That black people ain’t racist
I know a lot of you can’t gnaw
It down but listen, listen
With your open mind
and your open heart,
Ok?
Black people don’t have a system
To gain more power over another race….
You have To understand, overstand it….
We don’t have power, we can be prejudice
But no power….please stop….stop with the bull
Shit…..stop the gaslightin, stop everythin…
Black people ain’t racist….
Black people can’t be racist…
We don’t have a system that abuses
Someone’s skin color…
I don’t see that around
It doesn’t exist…
We can never oppress a race group….
And too many black people don’t understand
That part….the part is that we can’t be racist….
We’re definitely not…..we don’t incarcerate
White men, we don’t force white women to
Change their hairstyles….black privilege
Doesn’t exist….we get killed cos of our melanin
In our skin…and who came up with the blackwashin
Anyway?
We’re not racists, we can’t be racist…
Go look it up and read before someone
Takes the facts down, as they always do….

Pretty girls
Pretty girls
Can be mean…
Pretty girls
Can be somethin else
The looks can fool a person
They can,
With all that sparkle….
Pretty doesn’t stay that long
It ages…
It grows…
Pretty girls
Become older women
Hopefully wiser
But are they still mean?
Some changed some whose souls
Are still uglier….
With all that make up….
All that $100 makeup they wasted..
Pretty
Changes
Pretty
Grows older
But souls ain’t the prettiest things…
Without gold….
Gold is love, peace and kindness
Along with generosity….
Some people in this world
Don’t have it…
Wonder why?
Is it because of how they been raised?
Could be…
Pretty girls
Don’t be rude
Don’t be a bitch…
With all that fake eyelashes….
How come y’all don’t like your own eyelashes?
I’m tryin to understand somethin…

Turkey's 🇹🇷 president has launched a scathing attack on French oppression in Africa. And says the coup in its former colony Niger is a reaction to years of exploitation. Recep Tayyip Erdogan didn’t hold back in his criticism as he reels off a list of countries that have suffered under French colonialism.
