Republicans defunded police yr after yr. Tim Scott is pushing GOP propaganda. @LurieFavors @SXMUrbanView #ldfshow The FBI reported a nearly 30% increase in murders in 2020, the largest single-year jump since the bureau began recording crime statistics six decades ago. ImageImageImageImage
Stop & frisk created crime. NYPD Sgt. Edwin Raymond said he ‘I Got Tired of Hunting Black and Hispanic People’ nytimes.com/2019/12/06/nyr… Nearly 90% of young black & Latino men who were stopped were innocent. NYPD were directed to leave white & Asian people alone. #ldfshow ImageImage
White people commit just as much crime as everyone else. They just don't get searched as much & police don't arrest them as much.
Tim Scott admittedly had racist encounters with police. He knows the law enforcement system in America is based on race. #ldfshow

Most white employees in the US see themselves as allies to women of color. Less than half of white employees are educating themselves about the experiences of women of color or consistently giving credit to women of color for their work and ideas. mckinsey.com/featured-insig…
Women’s representation has increased across the pipeline since 2016. However, women—especially women of color—remain significantly underrepresented in leadership Image
Women of color lose ground at every step. Representation of women of color falls off relative to white men, white women, and men of color at every step in the corporate pipeline, leaving them severely underrepresented at the top Image

Moments after listening to the show about white people blocking efforts to level the playing field, I got a butt dial from a white manager who went on for 5 minutes talking about Black people taking jobs from more qualified white men. His boss
@LurieFavors @SXMUrbanView #LDFShow
is a Black woman. He said it's advantageous to hire Black people because diversity is tied to bonuses now & is forcing Black people or women to be hired even if a white guy is more qualified. The woman he's talking to said "they're not qualified." I've already told his boss. Image
Look who is calling me.....from vacation. I did not answer. He's got to be worried about what I heard. Image

@JoyAnnReid @tarajiphenson The wilful ignorance of white people never fails to astound me. They have schools & public libraries filled with free information they prohibited Black people from accessing for decades yet white people refuse to use hoarded resources to gain an ounce of knowledge of Black people ImageImageImageImage
@JoyAnnReid @tarajiphenson It's the commitment to stay uninformed that gets me. Incurious white people become teachers, lawyers, doctors & CEOs & never have to learn about racism. Meanwhile, many Black people learn about racism by age ~8.

Because US history books are woefully inaccurate (which tends to happen when you let Daughters of the Confederacy write history books) there is a new series about Black American History.
The Transatlantic Slave Trade: Crash Course Black American History #1
Slavery in the American Colonies: Crash Course Black American History #2
Elizabeth Key: Crash Course Black American History #3

This book "It was all a lie" is shockingly candid about Republican hypocrisy & how they aligned themselves with Christians solely to gain power. I had no idea so many Republicans are gay including leadership of National Conservative Political Action Committee.
"In truth, the modern Republican party is the equivalent of Donald Trump, addicted to debt and selling a false image of success."
Remember how outraged Republicans were about the deficit....until Trump exploded the deficit & then they went silent.

They waltzed into the US Capitol, seized it, installed a Trump flag in place of the US flag, had members of Congress sheltering in place & VP Pence evacuated....and they just waltz out with NO arrests.
If you didn't understand what "white privilege" meant before today, you should understand now. White men stormed the US Capitol, took photos & bragged online & they are just chilling on the lawn after curfew since they know there won't be any punishment.
