Thug Kitchen, Aunt Jemima’s parent co, & just about any other entity struck w/ a sudden “realization” about their name/imagery being racist knows good & well…

2020 isn’t the first time they were asked to change their shit. It’s just the first time they were afraid NOT to.

[Don’t Boo…Revolt! @BreeNewsome]

How is it that civilians protesting police brutality are responsible for the actions of everyone who enters the street

but none of the police forces or local governments are responsible for *their own hired officers* killing & maiming people nationwide for a wk & counting? 2/2

[Don’t Boo…Revolt! @BreeNewsome]

So let’s start w/ the fact that police have been engaged in murder, assault & vandalism nationwide the past wk...

Anyone making the insidious argument that “peaceful protests” against police brutality are harmed by random acts of vandalism is siding with the system of racism. 1/
