Probably inspired by the upcoming Juneteenth Celebrations, Microsoft's search-team put together a large cadre of resources you can access through 'the emboldened link(s)' below; those resources will strengthen you in the fight against racism, but first I want to teach you about those words. And I find you understand words better if you see 'the words at their base' (then going on to look at the words at those words' bases, then the words at those words' bases, etc.-etc. ad infinitum into their Foundation)
The word “Eradicate” is built on ancient words that mean "to Root Out (destroying every Branch)."
#Ineradicable #Ineradicably #Eradicated #Eradicating #Eradicable #Eradication
The word “Ammunition” is built on ancient words that mean "Fortifying (related to #Munition, built on words that mean 'Wall, Mural')."
#Ammo
Bing also puts together this Anti-Racism graphic (I don't know if it tells you more or summarizes everything or what; but they gave me a different link to share, so I guess it leads to 'more information' somehow).
'Journalizing' the resources they give, I see (and plan to link to my further 'journalizing' of):
- Being Black in the US
- Anti-Racism Glossary
- It might be good to blend these next two a little.
- How to Make an Impact
- How to Be an Ally
- What you can Do at Work
- How to Talk to Friends & Family
- How to Talk to Kids (about Racism)
- Read, Watch, Listen, Learn

I appreciate your comment, and I'll probably approve it & publish it soon (give me about a week before you try to post it again when it doesn't publish immediately ... thanks)
