YOOOOOOO #AMERICA, I AM IN AWE OF THE FACT THAT #PEOPLE OF EVERY #CULTURE ARE EXPRESSING THE TYPE OF #TRAUMA THAT #BLACKS EXPERIENCE DURING EVERY MURDER TRIAL, INVOLVING A WHITE MAN KILLING A BLACK PERSON. #KYLERITTENHOUSE KILLED WHITE MEN, NOT BLACKS. HE'S GOING TO JAIL.
@kimKBaltimore Shall we cancel #Colors as a definition of ethnicity and embrace #Cultures? So the ask is, are there Great, Middle of the Road & Bad representatives of Black Culture?
Are Jewish People a Race or Culture?
@LavontSr@Wes55Burton LaVont'e, What Up & Congrats on Keeping Your Vision Alive and Well. I bounced in '16 from Chicago with a Food Truck over to Omaha. Got out the Restaurant Biz in '17. I'm an Investment Advisor now and trying to get some NLCs in MLB Stadiums next season. https://t.co/i2xsQ06j1R
This is not just a narcissist. This is not just a man struggling with mental issues. This is not just an entertainer out of his depths. This is a dangerous man allowing himself to be used to hurt the rest of us. This is not a joke. Writing in Kanye just helps Trump. Pisses me off
Sorry, guys. MLK wasn't about going to protest in a designated area and playing by the rules. His goal was to make people uncomfortable and cause chaos. He ADVOCATED breaking the law.
It's almost like no one ever read the Letter from a Birmingham Jail where he said all of this:
He didn't want it to be violent but he wanted to be contentious. They wanted a confrontation. It was part of the plan. John Lewis still calls it "good trouble." You can't have civil disobedience without DISOBEDIENCE
James Forman is one of the civil rights leaders you don't hear about because he wasn't with that "getting-his-skull-cracked" shit. Plus he never wore a civil rights suit
He wore overalls.
Forman often disagreed with MLK because he figured:
"You don't even go here!"
Why be nonviolent in the face of violence? Plus, he thought MLK was a figurehead who didn't understand what people on the ground knew:
They were never gonna get their voting rights unless they fought back.
(Sorry, had to do some stuff...) But if you want to know why we are taught this whitewashed way of history, it is not just about making white people comfortable. It's about...
You know what?
There's probably someone who can explain int better than me.
Like Robert F Williams
