The USA needs a national dialogue on race, gender and class. A national Truth and Conciliation Commission on par with the TRCs of ZA, RW & CA. We don't just need justice for #GeorgeFloyd, we need justice for 244 years of institutionalized white supremacy.
#AllThePeople
One year ago I announced my independent campaign for President of the United States. My vision is to build a nation where We the People truly means #AllThePeople. I humbly ask you to watch this video which directly addresses our nation's systemic problems.
My first tweet in this thread did not contain a typo. B/c reconciliation implies a previous harmony, I intentionally use the term 'conciliation'. Words are important. The myth of American exceptionalism is rooted in the lie of white supremacy & I refuse to affirm it at any level.
On Thursday I posted a live stream discussing the murder of #GeorgeFloyd and reiterated my call to fix our foundations and create a #CommonMemory. I invite you to watch.
Racism is just the tip of the iceberg, below the surface is the widespread, pervasive and institutionalized belief in the lie of white supremacy.
