#IfKyleWasBlack, he’d be dead.
#IfKyleWasBlack, no one currently defending him would hold that position.
#IfKyleWasBlack, White evangelicals would’ve never raised $2 million for his defense fund.
#IfKyleWasBlack, wypipo currently rooting for his acquittal would be morning the white men that he murdered.
#IfKyleWasBlack, his current defenders would be demanding that his mother also be arrested.
#IfKyleWasBlack, those lauding him as a ‘patriot’ would be calling him a ‘thug’ and a ‘hoodlum.’

“I am sad to say that most white people are racist, either consciously or unconsciously.”

“White Americans must recognize that justice for Black people cannot be achieved without radical changes in the structure of our society.”

- #MLK

Stop trying to whitenize #MLK.
“Whites, it must frankly be said, are not putting in a similar mass effort to reeducate themselves out of their racial ignorance. It is an aspect of their sense of superiority that the white people of America believe they have so little to learn.”

- #MLK
“Why is equality so assiduously avoided? Why does white America delude itself, and how does it rationalize the evil it retains?”

Dear @delta

Good customer service is not being apathetic toward a longtime medallion customer who had…

- a flight delay that caused him to miss his connection

- to pay to stay overnight in connecting city because @delta wouldn’t comp the hotel

1/4
- had to come back to the airport to pick up a delayed bag that was sent to ATL because @delta failed to deliver it

- was erroneously told that a 2nd delayed bag was in Detroit and would be routed to the hotel in his destination city

2/4
- had to purchase clothes and amenities because the 2nd delayed bag never arrived from Detroit because @delta actually sent it to Shanghai China instead of Memphis

- could not talk to a supervisor to discuss the above because there is a 2+ hour wait to be connected

Here’s an example of white racists playing the victim.

@jimpolito from @WHYN560 disparages me by saying, “I use the word ‘Bishop’ loosely,” refers to Black people as “these folks,” and claims Springfield Police Commissioner Clapprood is “under attack.”

No, she’s not.

1/4
14 cops are being prosecuted for beating Black people and lying on police reports.

A cop who was convicted for beating a 15-year-old Black boy is still on police payroll.

But Commissioner Clapprood is a victim because residents want her fired for racism and incompetence?

2/4
A cop is being prosecuted for threatening to murder a Latino teenager.

The DOJ is negotiating with the city to mitigate constitutional rights violations and said the department routinely engages in excessive force against Black & brown residents.

But Clapprood’s a victim?

Memorial Day (Thread)

Memorial Day, formally known as Decoration Day, was originally started by a group of African Americans.

The holiday was initially an event held by newly liberated Black people in Charleston, South Carolina.

#MemorialDay
On May 1, 1865, at the end of the Civil War, thousands of newly freed slaves and regiments of the U.S. Colored Troops gathered to march around a Confederate Army prison camp in honor of the unnamed fallen Union soldiers who fought for their freedom.

#MemorialDay
African Americans were erased from the story of Memorial Day by white Democrats after they regained control of state politics at the end of Reconstruction.

A day that originally celebrated Black liberation was highjacked by white supremacists.

Meet Cornelius Ennis, Tucker Carlson’s 3x great grandfather.

He was a SLAVE OWNER, cotton shipper, railroad exec, and Mayor of Houston. Ennis, TX is named for him.

During the Civil War he was a blockade runner for the Confederacy.

White supremacy is in @TuckerCarlson’s DNA.
According to the TX State Historical Association, Mayor Cornelius Ennis was was born in 1813 in NJ, same as @TuckerCarlson’s 3x great grandfather. His family came to NJ from Ireland, same as Carlson‘s family. He married Jeanette Kimball, name of Carlson‘s 3x great grandmother.
The 1860 Census Slave Schedule shows @TuckerCarlson‘s 3x great grandfather, Cornelius Ennis, former mayor of Houston, blockade runner for the Confederacy, and man for whom Ennis, TX is named, as the owner of at least 16 slaves in Harris, TX. He also owned slaves in Louisiana.

Learn your history wypipo, you are the original rioters.

You didn’t riot because you were being unjustly murdered, you rioted to subjugate Black people.

You destroyed entire towns because Black people were becoming too prosperous.

You lynched and murdered us by the thousands.
The East St. Louis Massacre was sparked by the fear of Black men migrating from the South to factories in the North and taking jobs from white people. Wypipo murdered hundreds of Black people and destroyed the town. It launched what is known as ‘Red Summer.’
It was called ‘Red Summer,’ but was actually 6 consecutive years of racist violence, murder, and destruction wypipo exacted upon Black people for having the audacity to build their own communities.

It was during this time the all-Black town of Rosewood, Florida, was destroyed.
