Black death is a business for many companies. Ferguson activist Darren Seals (now dead) once said all of these money flows for victims like Mike Brown But the community never sees it. Radical people like Darren Seals aren’t allowed to be the face of this movement.

Who is allowed to become the face of the movement? Have you realized many of the people who are the face are not that radical and appease corporate interests.

To end this thread here is my exact point. A federal investigation found that Wells Fargo discriminated against thousands of African-American job applicants. They have to pay $175 million for race discrimination. Makes you think.pic.twitter.com/I62l5EDZpc
