@ShaunJay I agree! I am trying to make a conscious effort to amplify Black voices from the source. This lady is missing the point that we all need to work to be better. She already thinks she’s doing her best but I think it’s still great you made the effort to get her to think twice!
@JoshThorne Should we come up with a new one? Maybe with the date appended each day or something so it doesn’t get hijacked? Not sure if it would work as needed but trying to brainstorm. #ChicagoScannerJune2
George Floyd and I were both arrested for allegedly spending a counterfeit $20 bill. For George Floyd, a man my age, with two kids, it was a death sentence. For me, it is a story I sometimes tell at parties. That, my friends, is White privilege.
Steps away from Trump’s White House address, federal police were using tear gas and other violent measures to forcibly clear a crowd of peaceful protesters—apparently so that the president could pose outside a church holding a bible https://t.co/ezP1M5AOnT
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
this riot/protest situation is the same as a child being bullied at school. you are silent while they are being mistreated but upset when they finally snap back. had u spoke up while they were being mistreated they wouldn’t have had to snap back. silence equals complicity.
Looking for #Charleston, SC recommendations - restaurants/bars/activities/sights. Anything! @linzb and I are going in a month and neither of us have ever been.
Anyone else attending #INBOUND19 solo? Last year we got a great group of lone attendees together to network, share notes and attend sessions and after parties together! #inboundsolo
