I was at a revival and this preacher was "healing ππ" people. Went up to this guy in a wheelchair with a blanket over his lap down to the floor. Preacher screamed "GET UP AND WALK" and ripped off the blanket. Dude ain't have no legs π
His armor bearer put the blanket back on real quick and they moved on to the next person like nothing happened. The screams we let out afterwards. We scromed, y'all
I stopped going to revivals after that
When my wife - a black woman- was pregnant, we had monthly conversations about this. My primary role was to get in the drs faces if something was wrong. Because black women are ignored and die because of it. Sis, I'm so sorry for your loss. It's devastating, and it's not fair π’
Can I make a humble suggestion? Why sell 1 freight liner when you can plant it in the ground and grow more freight liners. Within a year you'll have this
It's been said over and over by the disabled community, and I'll repeat it for good measure: if we designed society and our systems around the needs of disabled people, life would become immensely more enjoyable and productive for everyone. Literally everyone would win.
