They crack jokes about George Floyd and laugh in our faces, and we do nothing.
They shoot our children in the back and then sentence them as adults for defending themselves and we do nothing.
They call Michelle Obama, the first Black First Lady of the United States a Man, and a Monkey and we do nothing.
They strip away voting rights in the same southern states where we send our best Black athletes to play college sports to make them BILLIONS, and we do nothing.
They openly talk about bringing SLAVERY back, and we do nothing.
We are desensitized to our own disrespect.
The Knicks may have won a championship… but they may have also awakened the version of Wemby that terrorizes the league for the next decade. This is his villain origin story, and I am absolutely here for it. 👏🏽
Jeremy Sochan in 17 games for The Knicks:
2.8 ppg. 1.4 rpg
In the 28 prior games this season for The Spurs:
4.1 and 2.6.
But up in here celebrating like he actually did something other than ask for a buyout.
9th Overall pick, btw. Utter waste of flesh.
A Cheerleader from Memorial High School emailed her Coach about how Hunter and Austin Metcalf were terrorizing them during the school year. #JeffMetcalf raised bullies and #KarmeloAnthony was defending himself.

Karmelo Anthony, a Black teenager, has been sentenced to 35 years in prison after being convicted by a jury with no Black jurors. Whatever one believes about the verdict itself, we cannot ignore the larger truth that many Americans are wrestling with: justice is still being administered through a system with a long history of racial disparity in sentencing and punishment.
This requires more than reaction. It requires moral honesty about who is deemed dangerous, whose pain is centered, and how differently accountability has often been applied in America. If we want justice worthy of its name, it cannot be shaped by race.
