MINI-THREAD:
1) Tea Pain's lived a long time and seen a lot of things, but there's something different about the #GeorgeFloyd case. Despite it's obvious and overt display of police brutality, there still something more, something that has moved a nation.
1) Tea Pain's lived a long time and seen a lot of things, but there's something different about the #GeorgeFloyd case. Despite it's obvious and overt display of police brutality, there still something more, something that has moved a nation.
2) Tea Pain believes the answer lies in the fact that America, particularly people of color, have witnessed our country move backwards to 1950's levels race relations as white supremacists walk our streets and flaunt their racism with impunity.
3) Tragically, chief among their enablers is the President of United States. Minorities recognize correctly that if they don't take a stand now, they will swallowed up in the Trumpist movement to all-white rule.
4) Never before have we seen so many people of every ethnicity, heritage and race speak out against the tyrannical regime that has it's knee on our collective necks.
5) People instinctively know that fascism is always searchin' for a new enemy, and although it's a black man now, the next target of Trump's unquenchable thirst for dominance could be Jews or Catholics or any other group that displeases him.
6) We are literally fightin' for the soul and future of our nation. #GeorgeFloyd's death is turnin' out to be the galvanizin' event that is unitin' our nation to rise up as one and claim the birthright of freedom that was promised to each of us, but obtained by only some.
7) Tea will leave you with both hope and a challenge. America will prevail over the forces of evil that seek to oppress us, but it is a battle that must be ultimately won at the ballot box. Register to vote and encourage all your friends. Honor #GeorgeFloyd with your vote.
