So, listening to Black people’s music causes white people to be violent?

I guess Harry Truman jumped in the DeLorean and time traveled to 1982 and heard the Gap Band sing ‘You Dropped a Bomb on Me,’ which inspired him to order a 5 ton bomb to be dropped on Hiroshima.
Louisville police must’ve been listening to Biggie’s ‘Get Money,’ “kick in the door waving the .44,” before they kicked in the door and murdered #BreonnaTaylor 🤷🏾
What rap song was Stephen Paddock listening to before he murdered 60 people and shot 411 others in Las Vegas?
Tell me whose rap songs slaveholders were listening to when they were whipping, raping, murdering, brutalizing, and dehumanizing Black people?

Whose album were klan members listening to when they were hanging Black people from trees?
What rap record was y’all ancestors listening to when they were murdering Native Americans?

For all you Black people in my mentions caping for Prince Harry and defending his racist past, tell me what he has done to advance the cause of justice for Black people in America to deserve an award from the most influential civil rights organization in the nation.
When was Prince Harry on the front lines against police brutality and the extra judicial murder of Black people?

When has he challenged America’s disparate response to Black people addicted to crack versus white people addicted to opioids?
When was Prince Harry on the front lines fighting against mass incarceration of Black people and disparate sentencing laws?

Did he throw his significant resources behind efforts to fight voter suppression what’s your restore the Voting Rights Act?

#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.

“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.
