ALGORITHMS OF OPPRESSION. WHEN YOU HAVE RACISM IN THE TECHNOLOGY THAT WE USE EVERY DAY THATS HOW YOU KNOW THE PROBLEM IS SYSTEMIC.

When you expose a racist student, you stop them from attending a university that will allow them to become a racist healthcare worker, teacher, lawyer, real estate developer, politicians, etc.

Something I've learned while in law school is about the social construction of crime. I work in a legal clinic on wage theft cases, where employers have "improperly paid" workers by not paying, paying below min wage, withholding overtime, paid sick time, etc. 1/

They criminalize the homeless so that they don’t have to house them. They criminalize drug addicts so that they don’t have to address substance abuse as a public health problem. They criminalize the poor so that they don’t have to address wealth inequality.

@Rackman86 @SimonianAlex I’ve never been to your house. And they were confronted about 4 years ago when they were at my house making prank phone calls with the accent.

I apologize to anyone my part in this has offended. I’ve grown a lot in these 4 years and can accept that I made mistakes.

@Rackman86 @SimonianAlex If he was around today it would’ve been a conversation I would’ve loved to have with him in order to educate him :) maybe that’s something you should do with your daughters (who you raised) instead of using my dead grandfather (who I am not accountable for) against me

If you “changed so much since high school” you would own up to your ignorance and apologize for the things you’ve said. If you are still defending those actions YOU HAVE NOT CHANGED

@SimonianAlex That doesn’t justify 3 white girls using a fake Asian accent infront of an Asian member of the team, who I know did not find it funny.

[Katie Ruzzoli @KatieRuzzoli]

@SimonianAlex Electing board members will not change the individual behavior of members in this town, however, them reflecting on past behavior that is now public might.
You, Liz, and Sammy used to speak in fake Asian accents making fun of nail techs at cheer practice. Is this “not racist”?

[kelpy 🐌 @kelp_b]

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.

For anyone who’s still saying violence is not the answer please watch this thread and take a look at who is responsible for the violence. Why are people expected to react peacefully when this is how they are approached?

If you had any doubt about America’s priorities, here’s how the people killing us are equipped vs the people keeping us alive

[Mykie @GlamandGore]

My friend sent me this video he took from today’s #LAProtests . See how the protesters provoked the cops right before they started beating them? ....yeah, me neither.

[RomeAlone2 @Alone2Rome]

It’s not white vs black, it’s everybody vs racists

White protestors vs Black protestors

"America has looted black people. America looted the Native Americans when they first came here, looting is what you do. We learned it from you. We learned violence from you. If you want us to do better, then damnit, you do better.” —Tamika Mallory, Nat. Co-Chair of Women's March
