I want to say to all of the Charlies of the world who are erroneously, yet “declaratively,” conveying that my father’s influence and the way he is honored are unwarranted:
I’m clear on why you do it.
It’s the same reason now that it was then.
It’s the reason that led the government to assassinate him.
It’s a desire to make the ideology of white supremacy, inclusive of economic disparity and militarism to protect unrighteousness empire, a consistent and persistent implementation.
Daddy stood against that, envisioned the eradication of racism, militarism and poverty, and was working on his vision becoming a reality.
The work continues…we won’t stop.

it’s just abstract bs that distracts from addressing the root causes of the relatively minute number of incidents perpetrated by vulnerable communities that they turn into scapegoats to fear monger and siphon more money into the NYPD despite the NYPD being a greater disturbance and threat to NYers than any migrant, homeless or mentally ill person actually is idk idk
