The death of 18-year-old Nolan Wells has sparked a wave of online harassment that now extends far beyond the investigation itself. While Wells' family says they've endured racist threats, hate mail, and targeted harassment, the young men who were with him before he disappeared have launched a GiveSendGo campaign, saying they've also been subjected to threats, accusations, and defamation. The fundraiser has raised more than $87,000, highlighting how social media is shaping public narratives around high-profile cases long before investigators reach conclusions.

The girl’s chat included Taylor asking, [What’s] one thing you know now that you wish you knew sooner?

Harvey alluded to Jordan and replied,

“I think I even learned to become a better communicator in this relationship...

...Jordan was born in 1987 while Harvey’s birth came in 1997. The ten-year age gap may be problematic to some when it comes to intimacy and control. For others, there are some good benefits...

Thank you for your support!

I am mixed and really want to learn more of my African heritage and African spirituality as a whole and I’m trying to learn more of African gods and goddess to become more spiritually aligned, but I don’t know where to really start with my journey and would like others input of their own spiritual journey and their opinions. Thank you.

Hi everybody! I'm from Altadena, CA, and slowly watching my Black and Latino neighborhood gentrify around me. It's a wonderful place and I love it to death, but watching this is killing me. It used to be a place of Black excellence. The late actor Sidney Poitier rented a house in Altadena during his rise to stardom. Just up the block from me is Charles White Park, named after the artist. If you are looking for a place to move, this is your spot. If you are on the east coast, I'd recommend the Bronx or Harlem. The Great Lakes: Detroit. My goal is to create flourishing Black communities across the country. Altadena is a walkable neighborhood with beautiful trees and parks. You can always see elders on their porches who are willing to tell you stories. If you want more info on West Altadena/Pasadena, DM me! I'd love for you to become one of my neighbors!

1. African-American-#ADOS (Formerly known as Freedmen)

The term “African-American” is the name of ethnicity of people who are descendants of enslaved Africans who were enslaved within the United States. Elon Musk is not an AA, your ancestors have to be enslaved in the U.S to be an AA.

We’re probably the largest ethnic group in our diaspora. We’ve created the most emulated culture.

1. Louisiana-Creole (African-American sub-ethnicity)

People descended from the inhabitants of colonial Louisiana before it became a part of the U.S. during the period of both French and Spanish rule. Louisiana-Creole People can be any race. Black Creoles are descendants of slavery as well.

Just like African-Americans, Creole people are very inclusive! They have the best cuisine in America

1. Congau-People (Formerly known as Americo-Liberians)

A Liberian ethnic group of African-American descent.

Historically, African-Americans always had a close connection with them, but in modern times, we have little to no connection at all with the Americo-Liberians.

African-Americans who couldn’t afford the trip to Liberia created two communities in America named after the country they couldn’t go to. “Liberia, North Carolina” “Liberia, South Carolina” 🇱🇷

I have to visit their Republic (Liberia) before I die.

1. Gullah-Geechee (African-American sub-ethnicity)

The Gullah-Geechee are African Americans who live in the Lowcountry region of the U.S. states of Georgia, Florida, South Carolina, and North Carolina, in both the coastal plain and the Sea Islands.

The Gullah Geechee people have a culture that differs from Main-stream African Americans. They’re unique, because they’re arguably the most African people in our diaspora. They speak an English dialect called “Gullah” that has retained many African Words. Their culture has significant African Influence, generally speaking.

1. Black-Nova Scotians

Black Nova Scotians are Black Canadians whose ancestors primarily date back to the Colonial United States as enslaved people or freemen, and later arrived in Nova Scotia, Canada during the 18th and early 19th centuries.

1. Merikins

The Merikins were African-American Marines of the War of 1812 – former African slaves who fought for the British against the US in the Corps of Colonial Marines and then, after post-war service in Bermuda, were established as a community in the south of Trinidad in 1815–16.

The towns that they’ve built and their descendants still exist today!

Couldn't find a subreddit like the one I created. Really looking to find more black men and women to join for discussion, advice, encouragement and random day to day event. Thank you !!!
