But when she became a state legislator, Black people TOLD HER that it stood for white supremacy.
She wouldnโt take it down.
They boycotted.
She wouldnโt take it down
When she became governor, she was told that it represented a failed attempt at a white supremacist nation
Nimrata refused
On June 17, a white supremacist terrorist, beckoned by the flag Nimrata supported, walked into Emanuel AME church and slaughtered nine Black people as they prayed.
And Nimrata, whose entire education, citizenship and livelihood was bequeathed unto her
By the literal blood sweat and labor of Black people acquiesced
But here is the thing.
Nimrata knew.
Remember that school where Nimrataโs dad worked when he came to the US?
Well, the longtime president of that school was Cleveland Sellers
Sellers was shot in the Orangeburg Massacre. Many people (and I mean MANY PEOPLE) believe the entire incident was an attempt on his life. Sellers is a civil and was actually incarcerated as a political prisoner for โincitingโ the Orangeburg Massacre
When Nimrata was a SC legislator, Cleveland Sellersโ son, @Bakari_Sellers was one of the people who TOLD HER what that flag means
But Nimrata is not like Obama. Her daddy and her mommy pulled themselves up by their bootstraps. Her parents didnโt raise her to be a โvictimโ
