Cut the 🐴💩

There is a massive and unassailable mountain of peer-reviewed research proving that black and brown people are systemically disadvantaged in housing, employment, throughout the criminal justice system and in every area that matters to meaningful participation

I will go along with a lot of nonsense....but if the GOP wants to be remembered as anything other than an outgrowth of white supremacy....this would be a good time to literally cut the nonsense.

This is a bad look, it is going to look even worse in the historical record

These so-called leaders making a point of saying systemic racism is "nonsense" are going to go down as modern propagandists like, new-age Riefenstahl's

I have no inherent enmity towards conservatives, but that is a bridge way too far...and it should be for everyone

And even if you didn't read the studies....how in the world could you even live in this country and not - deep down - know that racism pervades this society

Puhlease, if you are saying it doesn't, you are just trying to convince yourself so you feel better about yourself

I challenge one of you mental giants to walk into a prison and jail in this country and try to really - from your heart - explain how racism is not real to the men and women inside that prison....if you have the courage

Or is that when you will try to walk out the worst racist lie of them all - that black and brown people are disproportionately in prison and jail because there is something inherent in SKIN COLOR that creates crime

Yeah, this is going to be a really bad look for you forever

I am telling you, if you are starting to be part of this nonsense, you and generations of people are going to look back on this with shame....perhaps your descendants....this is getting wildly out of control and maintaining political power is not worth whitewashing racism

My suggestion?

Start actually adapting your party to embrace the demographic shift.....actually persuade people that you have answers to their problems.....but don't keep going down this road.

It is destroying this country, and the stench is growing

And yeah, I know I quoted studies, but I have also been in prison, I have been in jail, I am from a poor community, I have lived in urban areas for more than a small part of my life....I have lived in halfway houses, I have seen all of this up close and personal
