Walking away from @united premier counter shaking off microagressions. One white man had two agents working with him while I stood there waiting for someone to simply put my bag tag on my luggage. Asked for help. No one even looked up. Pretended I wasn’t there. #wow
Update: @United responded quickly. I explained that micro-aggressions break the trust of mileage customers who choose airlines and place trust in them to care for our bodies and our emotions while in their care. They got it. 1/
Thanks to the @united social media responder for understanding the seriousness of micro-aggressions. And thank you for your good Will gesture of credit or miles. I accepted the miles. Plus, I was just upgraded on both flights. Thank you for replacing bad memories with good ones.

Ok. So. All kinds of feels here. And three critical thoughts. 1/ #BothamShemJean #Forgiveness #JusticeForBotham #grief
First, #Feels:
Not again!!! Not again, Lord!!! Not again does the system get to minimize Black life by giving a white murderer such s light sentence!!! Not again do we have to endure tragedy of Black forgiveness!!!!! I can barely take it anymore, Lord! #JusticeForBothamJean 2/
Thought 1: If you were silent when #BothamShemJean was shot dead while eating ice cream on his couch then YOU DONT GET TO SPEAK NOW. #Shutupaboutforgiveness Your voice is a #clangingsymbol #standdown. You forfeited the right to speak now when you chose silence then. 3/

Dear White Evangelicals, your President changed policy at border in Ft. Lauderdale today. Kept black people out. Called them dangerous gang members—very bad people. Actually, they are desperate families who just lost EVERY SINGLE THING in #HurricaneDorian. #matthew25 #luke10 1/
Dear White Evangelicals, You are the ONLY voting block that still supports Trump. Only one thing can be concluded from this marriage: Two have become one. You are Trump. Trump is you. 2/
Dear White Evangelicals, The most disturbing thing is to see Trump using the same logic you use to keep non-whites out of your churches, leadership teams and board rooms. Blackness = violent = keep them away. 3/

Glad to be part of this convo! Need to define terms to begin:
Here are a few helpful ways I think of #racism:
Racism = Prejudice + Power to impact the lives and futures of the “other”. #LiberatingEvangelicalism 1/
Racism = the implementation of structural, systemic, legal and/or political hierarchy of human belonging based on arbitrary physical features. #LiberatingEvangelicalism 2/
Racism = the #racialization of society’s systems and structures by #intent OR by #impact. 3/#LiberatingEvangelicalism

Whites in 2019.

It's acceptable for our state broadcaster to demand a #white man justify why he's standing against a black and a Muslim in a democratic vote.

#BBC proclaim no white should stand as a candidate & no one in London should have opportunity to vote for a white man.
Therefore unless the establishment, government, MPs, institutions and legal system want to go public with the fact that indigenous whites are second class citizens ...

... it must be acceptable that we demand all political candidates are indigenous white British only.
#WhitesIn2019

It is acceptable for Jews, Muslims blacks and Asians to proclaim they have formed a new alliance to fight against racism which specifically and exclusively EXCLUDES white people.

THE MUELLER REPORT OF THE OBAMA ERA
White men have enjoyed an era of unparalleled privilege in our country since it was founded. This is why it will take a white man of our own to finally end it.
1/ There is a darkness inside of us as Americans that Donald Trump has exploited to great effect. It won't be enough to send our strongest or smartest champion into battle against this monster if we're not fully aware of every aspect of this nightmare we're trying to escape.
2/ The right president for this moment is the one that provides the clearest contrast between Trump and themselves. A good leader sets the example, and doesn’t need to brag about his achievements and constantly inflate his own perception of himself.

Let’s talk about racist presidents. [Long, long, long thread]
The condemnations of Trump’s latest racist statements are heartening. And: those who say his comments were “not who we are” or “un-American”—though well-meaning—lack historical perspective.
Racism was a cornerstone of this nation’s founding. And racism has been a foundational operating principle for the vast majority of our presidents. We shouldn’t be so quick to venerate our best intentions without also interrogating our impact.

2015, people. Alerts were sent by our ally intel services in 2015!! “GCHQ first became aware in late 2015 of suspicious “interactions” between figures connected to Trump & known or suspected Russian agents.” gu.com/p/69exm/stw
"The European countries that passed on electronic intelligence – known as sigint – included Germany, Estonia and Poland. Australia, a member of the “Five Eyes” spying alliance that also includes the US, UK, Canada and New Zealand, also relayed material, one source said."
"They [the European agencies] were saying: ‘There are contacts going on between people close to Mr Trump and people we believe are Russian intelligence agents. You should be wary of this.’

“The message was: ‘Watch out. There’s something not right here.’
