America is so wrong it's scary.
It's not only the cops... it's the people that call the cops.
Teachers calling cops on 6 years olds? on autistic children?

🧵1/

White people claiming to be the victims of racism are like rich people complaining they are being discriminated against because they don't get food stamps

White people have never experienced racism, maybe that's why they are confused about it
2/
Can black people make laws that remove the American revolution from the history books?
Can gays propose bills that make it illegal to say straight in schools?
Can we carry guns without being stopped or worse shot?
3/
The reason we had to create Black Colleges, Black Magazines, Black awards, Black History Month; wasn't to exclude whites, it was because blacks were not represented or their achievements recognized in white institutions.

I wasn't always woke

I grew up with prejudices and preconceived notions just like everyone else. I learned to judge people based on stereotypes that permeated my culture just like everyone else. I was an ignorant foolish girl.
My saving graces were my love of reading, my thirst for learning and listening.
When you love to read, you will read anything and thus you will read things that will open your mind and feed you new ideas to combat the ones you are taught and take for granted.
I too once thought that being part of the LGBTQIA+ community was a choice. And even though I'm black there was a time I thought blacks were lazy that's why they weren't rich... yes me I could have been a Candace Owen!

🧵1/5

I keep hearing most Americans are not like that... Most Americans are not racists, sexists, extremists...
But where are these "Most Americans"?

Why are their voices not heard? Why are they not flocking to support candidates?
2/5
 Why are the extremists the ones with the most followers?
Why are the hate-filled posts the most viral?
Why is the most money raised by the craziest?
Where are those "Most Americans"?
Where is their support?
3/5
"Most Americans" your absence and quiet are only fueling the rhetoric of hate.
They point to their numbers as a sign of them being right and it feeds upon itself.
"Most Americans" your lack of engagement is what will kill the American dream.

broken hearts
shattered souls
darkness gathers
all that withers
...

Pieces of dreams
slivers of hopes
cling in despair
to strings of light
...

amongst sorrow
between shadow
tears glimmer
in a shimmer
...

broken hearts
shattered souls
darkness gathers
all that withers
...
silence screams
cover your ears
the noise within
enough to tear
...

sobs escape
shoulders shake
still no sound
to heavens bound
...

broken hearts
shattered souls
darkness gathers
all that withers
...

hope shivers
light shimmers
tears glitter
life flickers
...
Darkness gathers
all that withers
broken hearts mend
shattered souls heal

Darkness is an empty void

... ... ... ... ... ....

In the name of Unity

They want us to forget the years of abuse
The constant chipping away of our rights
The systemic roadblocks they set up in our way
The rising numbers of restraints on our liberty
They want us to wipe from our memories
The rising numbers of POC dead bodies
A cop kneeling on a man’s neck for 8:46 minutes
A woman shot inside her own house
They want us to ignore the evidence of our eyes
The proliferation of white supremacy groups
The multiple attacks inspired solely by hate
Deliberately cultivated by those in power

Affirmative actions and white supremacy.

In all the rantings and ravings of white supremacists and racists, one theme that comes up often is that POC think they are owed something or want something for nothing, in general, it’s in reference to affirmative actions.
One thing they seem to bypass is that if equality existed, if there were no systemic racism in place, affirmatives actions would become unnecessary and would fade away. But as it is affirmative actions are necessary to counter the systemic racism that exists on all levels.
If schools in poorer neighborhoods were properly funded there would be no need for colleges to have quotas to meet.

If POC were given raises or promotions for equal work and capabilities as their white counterparts, there would be no need for businesses to have quotas either.
