@BillLindeke Ugh ... I cant stop thinking about this. Makes me so mad!
Stop using white women & white mothers (because we all know what "suburban" means here, right???) as a shield. Even if suburban moms weren't standing up to protest, too, which many of them are... dont pretend like our

@BillLindeke fragile white feelings about seeing protests & riots from the safety of our homes are more important than black lives.
And do NOT equate it to the unending heartache of mothers of sons & daughters killed FOR NO REASON, except the racist fever dreams of cops.

@BillLindeke On behalf of all white mothers, whether they want me to speak for them or not: the ONLY feelings of ours that matter here is the outrage & heartbreak that we STILL have to insist BLACK LIVES MATTER!! Because they do, and because it should be self-evident.
Protest. Vote. Change.
Protest. Vote. Change.
@BillLindeke PS a reminder:
“In a racist society, it is not enough to be non-racist. We must be anti-racist.” — Angela Davis
White women have historically also played their part in perpetuating racism (see also: 2016 election) & hashtags like #IAmASuburbanMom need to consciously NOT erase

@BillLindeke the voices & stories of Black Women
We have to consciously be better allies
Follow, read, amplify, listen to Black Women
I do not want my white motherhood or womanhood weaponized by white men nor do I want it erasing black motherhood or womanhood

@BillLindeke The reason I am even conscious of this dynamic is because of the courage and strength and wisdom of women who, through their pain and loss of losing children and partners and brothers and fathers, have taken the time to do the work to advance us all towards justice.
