Who is this woman? In 2021 she says she is some type of doctor and that she was 28, but then says she was a victim of incarceration that had a negative impact in her life.
If someone has a good career and they are young.. Wouldn't you look at your life as a success rather than talk about how you were a victim?

African Americans have made great contributions and improvements in society, but pretending they invented errthang just makes everyone else roll their eyes and does great disservice to what actually was contributed.
It is starting to get extremely exhausting with it.

Just nod, smile and teach your children the truth.
What's more interesting/sad to ponder is how nearly ALL of these revisionist examples are from people many generations removed... I tried looking up "contributions to America by black people"... and for recent decades it seems their contributions are limited to afrocentric art and music.

Yeah I was about to have to have a serious talk with my kid who wanted to join a 'blame white people for our poor choices' groups at school. Lucky for me either the school did away with it or they decided not to join.

Here. In their mother land, what have they accomplished besides poverty and war?

Their motherland is a whole other barrel of crabs.

Etymology
earlier, "mobile medical facility following troops in the field, corps of surgeons and assistants caring for wounded soldiers in the field," borrowed from French, from ambulant "mobile, itinerant" (borrowed from Latin ambulant-, ambulans, present participle of ambulare "to go on foot, travel") + -ance -ANCE — more at AMBLE entry 1
NOTE: As a name for a vehicle, in part short for ambulance wag(g)on and other collocations, probably after French wagon-ambulance, voiture d'ambulance, etc.
First Known Use
1825, in the meaning defined above

Fantastic ivory tickling... does he sing any? Actually, I love stuff like this- I'll go look it up! Thanks for the vid!

This is an AI post, you can tell because they spelled ambulance correctly.

I think she is arguing that on a civilian/municipal level ambulance services grew out of African American benevolent society(s)actions .

Art didn't sing, but he was a hell of a pianist.

A white doctor founded the service, and it was staffed primarily by black men.
That makes sense why you are paid like shite to be an emt. First they just under paid Jim Crow blacks now they just underpay oppressed lesbians

If people hadn’t traveled to that continent they still wouldn’t have ambulances to this day there.
This is not opinion. This is watching the continent and the people who just can’t do anything that helps themselves. It’s quite embarrassing.
