I've Expo Lines concerns that I've largely kept to myself and my homies. But what @alexandracheney published at @Thrillist is trash.

Keep in mind that, like everything else in LA, Santa Monica beaches were segregated. Black people were KILLED for going to the wrong beach.

To this day, the very presence of a black person in Santa Monica can equal horrific, shameful consequences: https://www.washingtonpost.com/posteverything/wp/2015/11/18/my-white-neighbor-thought-i-was-breaking-into-my-own-apartment-nineteen-cops-showed-up/ …

But
@ThrillistLA also needs to be held accountable for pubbing@alexandracheney's racist garbage. They pulled the article but stayed silent. -
LA is a people of color af city. Yet
@ThrillistLA stays only publishing articles from whites. It's shameful. -
I love LA. I know its history. I know its present reality. When I don't know, I ask. And I'm sick and tired of the way it's represented.

"Double check that door lock" is what she published. Nah. Double check YOURSELF before you write about my city again,
@alexandracheney.
