“Since it is so likely that [black] children will meet cruel enemies [white supremacist, bigots, and racist] let them at least have heard of brave knights and heroic courage. Otherwise you are making their destiny not brighter but darker.” — C. S. Lewis

"Black children must be allowed to be children, regarded as children, protected as children, and forgiven for mistakes children will make."

Hey black folks, I know we’re all pissed at Sean Grubbs-Robinshaw for his racist ignorant ass comments about moving #HowardUniversity if students don’t like his dog on campus, but can we PLEASE not allow our anger to include homophobia or body-shaming based on his Insta pics?
We need to be better than that shit. You can come for him & call out his racism & classism & colonizer mentality, but his sexuality & appearance are not reasons to mock him. There’s plenty of other fodder there, friends. Don’t perpetuate one oppression while fighting another.
Further, when you say homophobic things about this racist white gay man, your black gay friends see that. We see that. We see you. So stop.
