And then there are lynchings of black soldiers after both World Wars. The Tuskeegee syphilis experiments. Japanese internment camps.

Jim Crow, Redlining, Emmett Till, segregation, The Little Rock 9, and now people like Trayvon Martin.

Weird timing for this tweet. Almost like you’re subtweeting the Side Eyed Hillbilly and Krazy Kelly.
