Some of you really do think you can say anything w/o evidence but demand proof from others. It's wildAF.

Also using stereotypes or myths as facts need to die in a hot fire.

And if "everybody knows" then prove it or STFU. because whoTF is everybody? your racist circle of friends who literally deny ANYTHING a black/brown person says even with evidence?

some of you really need to stop these #DumbAF ahistorical takes on slavery and apartheid. The people repeating them are those that benefited from them. Just because your circle of folks are repeating it doesn't make it true.

And FACTS from the past is yes called history but its also FACTSSSSSSSSS!!! any attempt to say that was the past and deny the FACT and the evidence is pure revisionism.

Learning about ONE incident that makes your statement false is enough. If you make a statement and there is even one incident that proves your statement wrong it's wrong. Limiting the facts doesn't change it from being a fact.

And we already know that folks will pick and choose what evidence they choose to believe and who they will believe without question and zero evidence. Welcome to racism 101.

Let's do a roundup of all the racist tropes that target BP!
Black on Black crime
Any reference to Chicago while ignoring that CPD has historically lied.
The Irish were slaves too.
The white farmers in S. Africa.
Removing references to Slavery and Apartheid

Black people were lynched or only died in the south.
that immigration doesn't include black immigrants.
The "white people" that died in the civil war.
Slavery is over (hint it's not it's written in the 13th)

that fixing the economy in anyway fixes racism.
Tip wages are based on slavery.
the Electoral College is based on slavery.
the creation of the police was based on slavery.

so there is no real 'get over it' so stop saying it.

Now I can't speak to this as well as those from the Native and indigenous community but Genocide was attempted on this land. some of you are working overtime to erase that lil bit of history.
