🤔 The Karmelo Anthony case truly reflects a cultural issue that many Black people have with the dominant class. No matter where we go, or what we do. Their first motivation is always violence. #LeaveBlackPeopleAlone
Activist Dion Diamond sitting on a counter stool during a civil rights sit-in, Arlington, 1960. He sat there being insulted, harassed, hit and was arrested multiple times for doing it and he’s still alive today.
—It was in the year 1960, at the height of racial segregation in the United States, Dion Diamond, a black man, had grown tired of having his rights constantly trampled on.
"Crazy Diamond" they called him at that time, this man entered the premises and went directly to the white area, sat down and stayed there without flinching. Sometimes groups of people gathered around him, threatening and insulting him and "Crazy Diamond" kept sitting without moving an inch.
Dion said "I would sit down, and they would tell me that they couldn't attend to me and I didn't move, groups of up to 15 or 20 people would come to tell me to get out and I didn't flinch, I would only leave if they threatened to call the police"
Just by sitting down, this activist made many people stand up and fight for change, with an act as simple as sitting down.
AMC said today that we fully completed our $150 million equity raise, announced four months ago. It is particularly encouraging that the AMC share price has risen by more than 50% during this time, showing presumably that investors confidence in a resurgent Box Office outweighs fears about dilution.
This is such good news for AMC Entertainment on all counts.
This greatly bolsters our cash reserves.
I’ve said it many times:
Cash is King.
The hypocrisy is as blatant as it is predictable.
A Black teenager attends an event he has every right to attend, legally possesses a knife, is confronted, and suddenly the chorus becomes: “Why did he have a knife?” “He should have walked away.” “He shouldn’t have defended himself.”
A white teenager travels to a city where he doesn’t live, inserts himself into a volatile protest, carries an AR-15 he was too young to possess, claims he is there to protect property he does not own, shoots two people, and the very same voices instantly declare: “That was self-defense.”
So which is it?
The answer is painfully obvious.
In America, self-defense is not a principle. It is a racial privilege. A privilege extended to white people and denied to Black people.
