I want to talk about this real quick. When I say there was not a peaceful transfer of power this is included. a tradition just ignored because of petty racism.

Obamas get White House portraits after Trump snub denied them the tradition buff.ly/3y5gIon
people will reduce this down to it's just a problematic person. It's not. That person held the highest office on this land. The way so many of you try to separate the system from the people but people are running it. The system doesn't work without them. stop doing this.
every single time #AgentOrange45 brings up Obama it's consistently a racist trope that most of you shrug at but it's an accepted American trope. So that means every BP you encounter that trope is in your head. That means EVERY BP has to encounter multiple WP doing this to them.
This is why so many WP show up in my mentions thinking they have the right to "correct" my perspective. Most of you are jumping in because what I'm saying is a narrative shift from YOUR existence. Not mine.
When racism is so embedded that you will watch "traditions" get thrown out and you still make excuses for why it happened. or say nothing at all.

I see the fact that for some reason in this case all of a sudden widely lauded traditions no longer matter.
folk have reduced the "peaceful transfer of power" to simply Biden is now POTUS. but nothing about that transition was peaceful. Even now with people saying the election was stolen says that.

I see WP finding ways to avoid the reality of racism that had people willing to kill.
And this is the reason I will NOT coddle any of you. We all know you can say and do whatever you want and nothing will happen to you. people will actually show up to "defend" you. We both know that is not true for me and/or anyone that looks like me. So my answer is NO!!
I will tell you the truth loudly not softly. I will make you uncomfortable when I say it. And I'm not doing it to be mean or that I'm just angry. I'm doing it because no matter how I say it most of you just don't want me to say it at all. And that's the reality.

I want to explain this tweet to you. This is a racist tweet. We don't need to see a thread to get this.
Defend your claim.
Intellectual honesty.
If he did - denial
debating the n-word
When I tell you that you don't show up nicely why should any of us?!! Exhibit A. Image
As a BW I've never debated the n-word with a WP. The audacity that you think we can debate this and you aren't a racist is actually wild to me. Wanting to debate this puts YOU squarely in that category. NOTHING compares to that word. "context" wut?!!
Honestly, I really don't need to go any further past that but I'll lay out a few others.

Intellectual honestly.

That I have to prove something to you about my intellect cause otherwise, the racist trope that I'm just angry and dumb is the actual statement you are making.

And the reverse of that is that women are actually fine being single tho!! Cause they can do bad by themselves. Then you try shame them on body counts!!
The whole thing calling men simps for sympathizing with women and working in partnership. It's men trying to police other men to keep the pool limited in expectations. It's all YOU!! But keep pulling up like you are tho so we know.
Y'all are trying to get women to level down to your standards and I find that completely odd. In every single relationship, I was in I was leveling up not going backward. I don't know why anyone would want to do that. And I was never alone unless I chose it.

I didn't see this before. I apologize. here is a database that anyone can use to see where some continue to exist justice.tougaloo.edu/sundown-towns/…
From the same basic mapping but clearer with the legends. justice.tougaloo.edu/map/
I'm just going to show you a few comments of butthurt WP that their precious town is on the list and we are just making all of it up to be divisive. No benefit of the doubt granted here is there. It's just simply NOT possible. #ThisIsAmerica #VilliansInThisAmericanHorrorStory Your map is complete horseshit, there is no accompanying docWorst map ever. A couple towns in upstate new york, includinThis map is a joke! I’ve lived in many states all over theWhat a bunch of manure. I looked at the one's listed near me

Now here is why anyone needs to be cautious of Fox narratives. "convicted" is closely thrown around here. A reminder that there are over 70% in jail right now that have never seen a trial. If you want this to be even. Release all of them until their trials happen. Image
People around him were convicted of crimes and still demanded to not have to sit in jail. Let's chat about unequal justice. Lady justice seems to see quite well to me. Cause all of a sudden breaking the law doesn't mean anything even when national security is at stake.
Go back to Mueller's report and search for individual 1 and keep telling us he still has not done anything wrong when we know the parties involved were convicted of crimes. buy he's some how innocent.

Really having a hard time with NYT asking this question. Y'all have participated in so much of spreading it. Giving people like Jones the benefit of the doubt. Legitimizing people with stories like the Nice Nazi Nextdoor & fringe Black groups 4 clicks.

Trying to be objective with and about people who have gone down conspiracy theory rabbit holes ignoring their family but eventually actually making money on their lies is really problematic.
Finally Joe mentions what I was going ask about media amplifying the disinfo. I requested to speak. All questions remained single sided. Photo of the NYT speakers! ...
