Breonna Taylor should be with her family today, celebrating her 29th birthday, but police violence took that away from her.
The system failed you, Breonna. We won’t forget. Rest In Power.
@evantesseract Ok. Watch the clip again and answer this: Would you also laugh at the joke before strolling up to the stage to hit someone you KNOW won’t hit you back? This whole “chivalry” argument is just plain tired…
@JamilahLemieux Nice to see our Black women framing violence as an act of chivalry, especially with such an easy target with no expectation of dealing with consequences. I’ll be sure to pass those sentiments along to the youth with whom I work when they’re sitting in Juvie for the same thing.
Anyway, Questlove won an Oscar tonight for a documentary about a moment that was once lost in time. He is an incredible historian, storyteller, and director, and I'm so happy he won.
