1/ I see a lot of organizations & people highlighting the work of, or "standing with black ppl" in these hard times. Respectfully, if now is when you think to “highlight” or “check in on your black friend/coworker” you are apart of the problem. 2/If you’re an org, news, podcast, or otherwise and you don’t think about the disparities in American life in your daily work, don’t start now with the questions of how we got here? It’s in the statistics we live with, and ultimately are okay with.

1/Respectfully @NPR I take issue with one sentence in this report: n.pr/2AALqsg Calling The Center for Immigration Studies “Nonpartisan” isn’t IMO accurate. #immigration @NPR 2/The Center for Immigration Studies was founded by John Tanton, a man who at the very least pushed hard immigration polices and at worse is a white supremacist bit.ly/2AA83gm

1/Listen. Bill Cosby and R. Kelly are not being lynched. They are paying for their actions. I’ve seen the word “lynching” in relation to these two at least 5 times in the last hour. And I can not. 2/I don’t do well when racist try and use the term: And I definitely don’t do well when rapist apologist use the term. When this term “Lynching” or “Lynch-mob" is used almost in any way, it’s a disservice to American history.
