Hey @kelly_cadigan, the internet doesn’t think you’re racist, we now KNOW you are. But I’m grateful for this video because it also perfectly illuminates what I’ve been saying about how detrimental the myth of white supremacy is.

1/
Because you have been ingrained from BIRTH to believe that you are inherently superior, you had NO problem waxing poetically about something you admittedly knew NOTHING about & couldn’t be bothered to research before giving your “expert” opinion with your WHOLE chest. 🥴

2/
And this wasn’t a conversation about pumpkin spice lattes or the best lip plumper.

You were FLIPPANTLY and DEFIANTLY loud and wrong about SLAVERY.

You made a mockery of GENERATIONAL suffering whose remnants linger to this day!

I just…

Whew.

3/
You don’t get to pop in your car for a quick “Oops! My bad!” vid to make it all magically better…for you.

In this country, things are STILL not better for US.

The remnants of slavery & #JimCrow still affect US — DAILY!

And despite what you think, we don’t ENJOY any of it.

.@kelly_cadigan You with your glib musings on what it’s like to be Black in America PERFECTLY illuminates why BOOKS that spotlight diversity and champion inclusion are needed in schools.

Because your brand of dumb mixed with willful & gleeful ignorance is dangerous.

5/
This malignant level of ego & defiant boldness mixed with ZERO intellect, research, education or empathy is alive in @GovRonDeSantis @realDonaldTrump @BrianKempGA @GregAbbott_TX @SarahHuckabee & the @GOP side of Congress.

We’ve seen what people who think & move like you do.

Lemme help y’all because my block finger is itchy.

Do NOT pop in my replies to admonish me for celebrating that unrepentant criminal FINALLY getting his comeuppance.

That imp called for the execution of the #Exonerated5, has assaulted women & is a flaming RACIST.

#GTHOHWTBS
If you think I’m better than this, I’m not.

He is poison. A malignant tumor on our Democracy and the rule of law.

He has lied, stolen, cheated AND incited a insurrection where people DIED! And don’t get me started on the MILLIONS his handling of covid harmed and killed!
I will continue to mock, ridicule, light a match and stomp my feet about his indictment — this one and ALL the ones to come.

I will tag him, his troglodytic minions, his rancid seed and anybody else his stink is on.

And I will do it whenever and however I please on MY page.

One thing I’ve learned on the @ring neighborhood app is that white folks steal so casually. They’re brazen in how chill they are about committing crime.

Is it because they can do it so often and easily in life with little or no consequence?

Real question.
I’m truly amazed.
A few years ago there was a # where white folks were honest about how easily they can get away with stuff in life.

Stuff = criminal activity that would get other folks long prison sentences or on a very bad day quickly shot & killed by police.

I think of that watching @ring.
Another thing I noticed on the @ring app is how white folks describe the other white folks who commit crimes. They’re always still called ladies & men or kids. Never thugs, animals or criminals. They keep their humanity always even when doing heinous things brazenly ON camera.

I got #lasik about six months ago. Decided to do it because of the pandemic. With everything happening in the world, I didn’t want to ever wake up and need to see and not be able to because of broken glasses or the inability to get contacts — apocalyptic stuff, I know.

1/
I did my research. Vetted my doctor — he’s one of the top two in the country — and watched every YouTube video known to man, the good & the horrific.

I made the best choice for me.

There are horror stories and there are chances that you may be in the % with complications.

2/
That is the risk with every surgery — elective and otherwise.

As with all things, you need to be prepared for the ways any decision you make could go wrong.

I am horrified to hear of the complications the original poster had. And pray that isn’t my ultimate fate.

I will say this succinctly:

This imp is dangerous but unlike 2016, this thing is not alone. This hate & renewed racism under the guise of “parental choice” is a cancer that has infiltrated the ENTIRE Republican Party. It LOUDLY exists at every level of government now.

1/
And don’t be deceived, what it just said IS outrageous. It’s racist, xenophobic, homophobic & authoritarian. But you thinking that ANY of that will stop people from voting this thing or more importantly its plans is the trick. A hair over 74 MILLION lost souls voted for this.
2/
And since it lost & fermented that deadly insurrection, it has only become more determined to get back in office to complete its work. This is a view of Hitler in 1932. In this vid, it is telegraphing what 2024 & beyond will be like, just as it did with #ThisAmericanCarnage

The cost of gas & other products being high is not because of @potus. It’s the lingering effects of a global pandemic — that Tang called a hoax leading to his minions ignoring it which allowed it to fester & torpedo our economy.

That said, Biden is working to fix it…
When you vote based on how things look TODAY you ensure that once @potus and the Democratic-led Congress fix things, you will have elected the kind of Republicans who CAUSED the initial problems — who will then take a victory lap for the things they did NOT do.
This happened after Clinton. This happened after Obama. It will happen after @potus if YOU, yes you, don’t realize that it takes TIME to fix things.

Our Democracy is worth it. Let the man work. Keep democrats in the majority in Congress so they can vote for his plans. PLEASE.
