1. Only white men get to use this excuse.
2. That video could’ve been from 500 yrs ago.
3. These kids will go on to have high power positions like the white men before them & will continue their violence toward marginalized comms.
4. That’s the goddamn problem.

Those kids were how Kavanaugh was as a kid. White men like Kavanaugh confirmed him despite him sexually assaulting at least one girl in HS. He was already a Fed Judge & now has a seat on the Supreme Court. This is has been business as usual for over 500yrs.
This isn’t just about ONE kid or a FEW kids or “weren’t you an idiot as a kid”, this is about the system protects and upholds white violence and encourages white children to take the place of their parents. We’ve seen pics of public lynchings with families present. Young...
...white children there. Paying attention. Being encouraged to laugh and have a good time like their parents...while the mob murdered black people. Indigenous peoples. So no, it isn’t just kids being dumb, it’s part of a larger picture. And people are tired. We deserve better.
Reminder that the original tweet is from a journalist🙃. Thought being “objective” was the name of the game? Another reminder, who controls media and how (and if) stories are covered? Especially stories about gender/race/LGBTQ issues?? Right🙃
