Nat Turner was an American hero. The Deacons of Defense were necessary. The Black panthers were necessary.
Too often I’ve watched Trump have known racist support him. He’s taken some with him to the White House.
Black people, stop running from the “radicals” in our community. There is nothing radical about loudly demanding justice, equity, and progress for our people. There is nothing radical about calling our America’s bull. There is nothing radical about self defense.
It’s American as apple pie.
If we as a people are going to defeat those who seek to keep us oppressed we need ALL OF US. The rich and the poor. The old and the young. The loud and the quiet. The activist and the scientist. The teacher and the entertainer. We need US ALL.
We won’t always agree. We don’t have to disagree publicly. We won’t always align in fights, but we don’t have to oppose each other. Or demonize a method that is not yours.
Our cause is just, it’s righteous, therefor we should not fear boldly standing with each other against any and everything that seeks to keep us bound. #KeepPushing and #LetsGoHigher
