On Thursday, in a stunning reversal, a federal appeals court ruled that Donald Trump can maintain control of California National Guard troops deployed to Los Angeles amid ongoing protests over immigration raids.

Black MAGA, y’all alright? Donald Trump has once again shown us who he is, the most un-American, unproductive, and unapologetically divisive figure ever elected to the highest office in the land, who has the audacity to complain about “non-working” holidays—namely, Juneteenth.

We see the great white heist that is continuing to happen in the White House, but we missed another hijacking right at our fingertips. Black culture hasn’t just set the tone; it’s the creator of it. From fashion to food, music to memes, the soul of what we now broadly call “American culture” is actually a siphoning system.

Once again, Black excellence has been punished, not for failing, but for celebrating. The incident happened Saturday after a 16-year-old sprinter, Clara Adams from North Salinas High School, crossed the finish line first in the CIF State Championships’ 400-meter final. Clocking in at a blazing 53.24 seconds and securing her place as California’s fastest female sprinter in the event, but instead of a medal and well-earned fanfare, Adams walked away with heartbreak and injustice. Her crime? Joy.
