Black sleep matters

Teen Vogue magazine recently published an article by two writers who are calling for "rest reparations" in addition to the regular, old, garden-variety reparations for African-Americans, which advocates have been advocating for years. Navild Acosta and Fannie Sosa contend that, on average, Black lives are shorter than white ones because Black people experience "generational fatigue" due solely to the fact that they are, in fact, Black.
The two allege that "the American dream is a sleepless one" for Black folks, and claim to have had an epiphany when they realized the reason they were always tired was because they were impacted by "hundreds of years of sleep deprivation" that was due to systemic racism. Their article, titled "Black Power Naps is Addressing Systemic Racism in Sleep," reveals the Black Power Naps initiative, which purports to be an "artistic initiative with components including physical installations, zines, an opera, and more." Huh?

Isn’t this why Good Morning Black America airs at noon across the nation?

Who do they want to collect from on the lack of sleep reparations? The Sandman?

So if my grandfather and father had insomnia, then I would be tired all the time?
Where do they come up with this insanity?

Money grabbing ideas. Beats working for it.

The reason they are tired can’t possibly be that they are up until closing time at the clubs regularly or anything like that.

I think it is about time for "whitey" to just quit everything and go on the gubment dime. Just to show the difference it what 70% is and what 16% is. If black people think it is bad now, just wait until they don't have whitey's tax dollars to depend on. And before anybody claims this is racist, 70% will NEVER be equal to 16%. It's math y'all.

70% of 120 is equal to 16% of 525

That would be black on black crime, so they will ignore it.

It's a sleepless one often for white folks, too.
Try building your net worth to something worth retiring on working 50-60 hour weeks more often than not.
Since December, I've worked more weekends than not.
