When a white person kills a Black person in America, it is ten times more likely to be ruled justified than when a Black person kills a white person.
That word, justified comes from an 1857 Supreme Court ruling.

@paolomossetti@tmorello If you want all the details, background and Leen's words about this incident then take some time to read the article I wrote after interviewing her last weekend before this viral and be sure to check out my Facebook page R.A. Eli Hall for the full video.

@DestinHall You have incredible audacity. To blatantly lie when you pushed the passage of SB382, WHICH DOES NOTHING FOR WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA, despite it's bogus title!
@bradknottfornc You won only because of gerrymandering. Hope you plan on getting to work immediately because @WileyNickel has left some big shoes for you to fill with the incredible work he has done the past two years.
@truthsearch1776 @markrobinsonNC doesn't have the cojones. He is a blowhard, do nothing. Back to the porno store for him. Hopefully, he pays Louis Money the $25 he owes him.
@truthsearch1776 @CoachDubs3@ncgop13district#NEWSFLASH Fellow Johnstonians, regardless of their political affiliation, should not be your enemy. We are neighbors. Can we get back to acting like neighbors?
@truthsearch1776 @schooladvocate8@ncgop13district Did anybody get the photo of where he shook my hand and said it was good to see me or when he had a civil discussion with a black woman about why he voted for @DonaldTrump over @KamalaHarris maybe the @DownHome_NC documentary camera crew caught it, let's hope so.
@blackgloss8@schooladvocate8@JOCO_GOP_NC@NCGOP She's not a Democrat for one, and those same people probably voted for @JoshStein_
Some people are intelligent enough to vote for the best person for the job.
Also, you are insuating that people advocating for her opponent were not nice.
I don’t really do endorsements. I’m not shy about sharing my views, but I hate politics and don’t trust most politicians.
I also understand that people want to hear from me because I am not just a celebrity, I am a former Republican Governor.
My time as Governor taught me to love policy and ignore politics. I’m proud of the work I did to help clean up our air, create jobs, balance the budget, make the biggest infrastructure investment in state history, and take power from the politicians and give it back to the people when it comes to our redistricting process and our primaries in California.
That’s policy. It requires working with the other side, not insulting them to win your next election, and I know it isn’t sexy to most people, but I love it when I can help make people’s lives better with policies, like I still do through my institute at USC, where we fight for clean air and stripping the power from the politicians who rig the system against the people.
Let me be honest with you: I don’t like either party right now. My Republicans have forgotten the beauty of the free market, driven up deficits, and rejected election results. Democrats aren’t any better at dealing with deficits, and I worry about their local policies hurting our cities with increased crime.
It is probably not a surprise that I hate politics more than ever, which, if you are a normal person who isn’t addicted to this crap, you probably understand.
I want to tune out.
But I can’t. Because rejecting the results of an election is as un-American as it gets. To someone like me who talks to people all over the world and still knows America is the shining city on a hill, calling America is a trash can for the world is so unpatriotic, it makes me furious.
And I will always be an American before I am a Republican.
That’s why, this week, I am voting for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.
I’m sharing it with all of you because I think there are a lot of you who feel like I do. You don’t recognize our country. And you are right to be furious.
For decades, we’ve talked about the national debt. For decades, we’ve talked about comprehensive immigration reform that secures the border while fixing our broken immigration system. And Washington does nothing.
The problems just keep rolling, and we all keep getting angrier, because the only people that benefit from problems aren’t you, the people. The only people that benefit from this crap are the politicians who prefer having talking points to win elections to the public service that will make Americans’ lives better.
It is a just game to them. But it is life for my fellow Americans. We should be pissed!
But a candidate who won’t respect your vote unless it is for him, a candidate who will send his followers to storm the Capitol while he watches with a Diet Coke, a candidate who has shown no ability to work to pass any policy besides a tax cut that helped his donors and other rich people like me but helped no one else else, a candidate who thinks Americans who disagree with him are the bigger enemies than China, Russia, or North Korea - that won’t solve our problems.
It will just be four more years of bullshit with no results that makes us angrier and angrier, more divided, and more hateful.
We need to close the door on this chapter of American history, and I know that former President Trump won’t do that. He will divide, he will insult, he will find new ways to be more un-American than he already has been, and we, the people, will get nothing but more anger.
That’s enough reason for me to share my vote with all of you. I want to move forward as a country, and even though I have plenty of disagreements with their platform, I think the only way to do that is with Harris and Walz.
Vote this week. Turn the page and put this junk behind us.
And even if you disagree with me, vote, because that’s what we do as Americans. https://t.co/eHFZ723I4H
