This will be my last tweet for a while to steel myself for what’s ahead. With that said, I’m gonna make this a thread and leave it pinned. I’ll share some info & resources for what I think we’ll need to know as this progresses. Just know this, I still believe God is able!! ✊🏿💪🏿🙌🏿 Consider this a preemptive primer for the lies and backlash that will surely come and no doubt be directed at the Black community. Know that the facts do not support them. I won’t even comment. Just read/listen to them and see if you can make sense of it. I’m out. Be good to you.

Gonna speak from the heart on this:

(THREAD)

I woke up with tears in my eyes this morning, for no particular reason. Just a heaviness in my spirit that’s hard to articulate. To use a Star Wars allusion, “I felt a disturbance in the Force”. Couldn’t place my finger on the cause It was a cross btwn fear and sadness. Almost sorrowful. Like we had crossed over into a uniquely craven territory of human debasement. A depravity that I’ve seen replay in human history so many times but never personally came face-to-face with.

So, in case you were wondering (or not) about my personal feelings on the RNC in CLT...it’s a no for me dawg. Lemme explain

🚨[Thread Alert] 🚨 I’m a convert on this issue. I think calls for even-handedness are fair. And under virtually any other “normal” circumstance, I’d be game. I’m also not a partisan, so that part doesn’t bother me.
