As a bishop in the Episcopal Church, and an American citizen, I am shaken watching protestors in Lafayette Park gassed and cleared so that the President of the United States can do a photo op in front of St. John's Episcopal Church holding a Bible.This is blasphemy in real time.
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.
Kneeing was a peaceful protest... They were pissed about that. A fist in the air was a peaceful protest....they were pissed about that. They don’t care about the method of the protest, they’re pressed about the message.
when people are actively telling you to remove photos that may cause danger to protestors and you ignore them bc ur your post blew up, you are the enemy. you don’t care about black lives, you care about how it looks like to support black lives online.
what the fuck is this? there is video evidence of George being MURDERED. HE WAS STRANGLED & KILLED & THERE IS VIDEO PROOF. WHAT ELSE DO YOU FUCKING NEED?#RAISETHEDEGREE#JusticeForGeorgeFloyd
