Javiera Montero was detained for 8 hours before NYPD was forced to admit she committed no crimes and was just vacationing in New York.
Please share her story.
As my father said, βBUT IT IS NOT ENOUGH for me to stand before you tonight and condemn riots. It would be morally irresponsible for me to do that without, at the same time, condemning the contingent, intolerable conditions that exist in our society. These conditions are the things that cause individuals to feel that they have no other alternative than to engage in violent rebellions to get attention. And I must say tonight that a riot is the language of the unheard. And what is it America has failed to hear? It has failed to hear that the plight of the negro poor has worsened over the last twelve or fifteen years. It has failed to hear that the promises of freedom and justice have not been met. And it has failed to hear that large segments of white society are more concerned about tranquility and the status quo than about justice and humanity.β
Theyβre lying to you claiming whatβs happening with ICE is not Black peopleβs business. First, ICE targets Black people too. Also, history should tell you that anytime masked and unmarked jumpout boys are snatching folks off the streets, itβs 100% Black peopleβs business.
Quite possibly the longest chapter yet: "'Take That Mask Off' or "How to See Yourself Without a Mirror'"
I think this might be my favorite though. It's been hard, but it's been good.
Texting my good sis and I damn near caught a shout talking about how I'm living the life I asked for. It's not perfect, but it's exactly what God has for me. beyond excited for what's in store.
Y'all the only ones who associate whiteness with "intelligence".
Because you know EXACTLY wtf We are talking about when We say a Black person sounds White.
