(Yeah we know - the real answer is racism)

There's something beautifully ironic about flying a confederate (you know "states rights") flag at a protest where you're trying to get Congress to overturn the will of the states.

[Igor Bobic @igorbobic]

That’s the confederate flag flying outside the Senate chamber

@venikunche White privilege (and all of them really): Nobody is asking me for answers right now, especially to questions that I'm not equipped to handle.

@venikunche White privilege: Moving a couch from craigslist by carrying it across a busy street at night with my partner, and at the back of my mind, realizing that onlookers were cheering me on because I'm white. If I were not, I'm not sure I'd have felt safe doing that.

Yes, inaccessibility is a civil rights violation.

Beyoncé was sued over it.

It’s not “nice to have.”

[Jamie Ford @JamieFord]

Defund the police? Here's an example that you're benefiting from right now. 1/9

[Matt Martin @MattMartinChi]

For the cost of our $1.8 Billion annual police budget we could buy enough bulk popcorn to fill up the entire Sears Tower 4.5 times*, in case anyone was curious

*or buy three buckets of popcorn at a movie theater

Most theft is wage theft. Meaning, the dollar value of stolen wages is greater than the value, each year, of all burglaries+robberies, shoplifting, auto theft, combined. Yet, wage theft is NOT A CRIME 2/

Stop saying you’re colorblind or you “don’t see color.” If the only way you can acknowledge someone’s humanity is to pretend their culture and history doesn’t exist, you need to examine yourself.

Plus, I love being black.

This shit’s dope AF when the cops aren’t around.

[Josh Larson @mutatedShrimp]

I'd just like to remind people that colorblindness is an actual physical disability and has nothing to do with not being able to tell what race someone is.

If you say "I'm colorblind" to justify "not seeing race" then you're being both racist AND ableist.

This happened today at Union Park.

George Floyd. Breanna Taylor.

#BlackLivesMatter

[Terri @What_ShihSaid]

#BlackLivesMatter We kneel for George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Tony McDade, and all other Black folks who the police and our racist system have murdered

[Michael Harriot @michaelharriot]

I had a professor who always talked about "the necessity of existence." Basically, some things should be created just so that thing will exist in the world.

So here's a thread to RT anytime some1 responds to #BlackLivesMatter with "but black on black crime" like this yahoo.

[nic @nicsw0rld]

have y’all ever heard anyone say it’s “just one bad doctor”???? naw. they lose their licenses, they get sued, they get thrown in JAIL for medical malpractice. why? bc there’s no room for mistakes or error in a profession that you swear to protect and help the people, PERIOD

[Blk Girl Culture @blkgirlculture]

Breonna Taylor’s murderer is still free.

Sandra Bland’s murderer is still free.

Pamela Turner’s murderer is still free.

Korryn Gaines’ murderer is still free.

Deborah Danner’s murderer is still free.

Black women’s lives matter and are worthy of justice. #BlackLivesMattter
