Look at this video and try to convince anyone America isn’t a police state.
People are literally standing quietly and listening to musicians play the violin and the police show up in riot gear.
I can’t quite wrap my head around how fucked up this is.
Even the statement, “Let’s invite more Black people to the table,” implies ownership of the table and control of who is invited.
Racism is about power.
Hi White People! I want to tell you something. It's the second week since the explosion of this round of protests. The second week since George Floyd's snuff film started being broadcast all over.
I want to tell you something about my experience with white progressive backlash.
ALERT: Please RT. Little girl missing in Brockton .
She's 8 years old.
Wearing black shorts and a red shirt that says "Bridgewater".
Shes 5' tall.
Here's her picture:
@nkjemisin I saw one with a picture of a coven of Witches protesting racism and another of an Amish community doing the same, and how bad things must be to have both agreeing. Somehow, I couldn't help but thinking in TLotR terms...
-The Witches call for aid!
-... And the Amish with answer!
just so we're all completely clear, officer holte was killed in a shootout at an apartment last week and officer lyday was shot while responding to a domestic disturbance.
to imply that either of these deaths have anything to do with the protests is DANGEROUSLY disingenuous.
a cop will beat and mace you and people say “thats what happens if you yell at them or flip them off :)” as if thats NORMAL. imagine if every time you screamed in a retail workers face they jumped over the counter and beat your ass, karen. cashiers have control why dont cops
