Criminal court is just a bunch of (not exclusively, but primarily, white) people in suits & robes maintaining control, both physical & metaphysical, of poor black & brown people, & everyone just acts like it’s all legitimate.
Dr Wilton Littlechild, who has advocated for years 4 the Catholic Church to apologize; was a TRC Commissioner, he’s a survivor of residential schools and now uses a walker-it’s his 78th bday today. He danced in St Peters Square celebrating @Pontifex apology which is momentous

Just want to point out that Will Smith saying “love will make you do crazy things” after punching a man on live television is pretty much straight out of the domestic abuser handbook
Anybody who thinks “Black people look bad” after the #Oscars already thought Black people look bad.
