@realDonaldTrump WRONG
Baltimore's stats aren't good, BUT St. Louis,
Missouri is the 15th most dangerous city IN THE WORLD.

It's been the murder capital of the U.S. since 2014.

St. Louis has 8 reps in the House, 6 Repubs & 2 Dems.

Outrage? 🤔

@realDonaldTrump You don't want people to remember that Baltimore is hope to Johns Hopkins Hospital, perhaps the nation’s leading medical center.

The median income of Baltimore is actually above the national average.

@realDonaldTrump Hey remember when Rep. Mark Meadows nearly cried when accused of a racist act during the Cohen hearing?

Elijah Cummings stood up for Meadows, calling him a friend.

Where's Meadows now?

Dear #WhitePeopleAgainstRacism, it's going to take a lot more than a hashtag.

Getting rid of 45 won't end racism or 'fix' what is wrong with this country. 45 is not the disease, he's the symptom.

Y'all late, but I'm glad you're here. Now let's talk about cognitive dissonance.
A lot of white people don't understand how we got here. James Baldwin says white people are trapped in a history that they do not understand. Until you understand it, you can't be free of it, and neither can we.

Herr Twitler is not destroying your country. He's revealing it.
We are outraged by children and cages at the border and we say, this is not America!

Conveniently forgetting that America came up with eugenics.

American eugenicists were mad about Hitler because they felt he was beating us at our own game.

While I am happy to see #WhitePeopleAgainstRacism trending, but I would be happier if white people were really against racism. But are we?
After all, we don't seem terribly concerned that Black maternal mortality is multiples of white maternal mortality. We seem perfectly sanguine about incarcerating Black people for lack of bail and a host of "while Black" crimes like vagrancy, trespass, etc.
Our response to the crack epidemic was "lock them up" while our response to the opioid and meth epidemics is more compassionate, seeking to reduce sentences, to favor treatment. This is a better response to addiction, but why did wisdom only come when whites were most affected?

This HERO stopped 2 undocumented immigrants who were passengers in his car from being arrested ICE.

"No, Its not a warrant. It's not a warrant under the constitution of the United States"

This is the hero in this video. On his birthday he advocated for the release of a little girl and was successful in reuniting her with her family.

Again HIS NAME IS BRIAN MACCORMACK.

If you are a white person wondering how to use your white privilege, this is how.

Especially as a white person

"In a racist society, it is not enough to be non-racist, we must be antiracist.” — Angela Davis

WE NEED MORE OF THIS!

Speaking as a black person, these are the hashtags and protests I'd like to see: #WhitePeopleAgainstWhiteSupremacy #WhitePeopleAgainstRacism
Black folks didn't make this problem, and we can't fix it.
I'd also like to see the damn media interview #WhitePeopleWhoLoatheTrumpsRacism Sick of all the 'economic anxiety' bullshit stories which enables, encourages, and covers up for bigots.
And any white politician who spouts this 'economic anxiety' crap should be shunned by white people who claim to want racism, and supremacy to end.
