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.

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.
