    White people are so programmed to believe that they are the default that they get outraged by the term “white people.” There’s nothing more insulting to a white person than to be called “white.”

    Repeat after me, the system isn't broken. It's doing what it was designed to do, to keep certain people in power and the rest of us beneath them. You can fill in the blanks.

    I’ve been thinking about this all day.

    If Pamala Turner wasn’t pregnant (as repotted) that means that she was saying it as a final effort to avoid being gunned down by the police. She was hoping that the cop had a heart. That he would not kill a woman and her unborn child. That cop killed her in cold blood.

    White liberals: you rage against conservatives, Republicans and Fox News without acknowledging how you are no different. THIS lack of self awareness is killing Brown and Black people. YOU are killing Brown and Black people. Now pls return to your Handmaid’s Tale robes and CNN.

    Hung out with an old friend tonight who casually mentioned that Ilhan Omar was an “anti-Semite.” There was no talking her out of this stance. She is a card carrying Democrat. We are epically screwed.

    The police are terrorists. They murdered an innocent Black woman, Pamela Turner. I am so sorry Ms. Turner. You deserved so much better.

    When white people hear or say “people,” “women” or “men,” they mean white people, women and men.

    All this Alyssa Milano means well but is misguided is ground zero for white women weaponization of feigned ignorance. She knows exactly what’s she’s doing: causing harm to Brown and Black women. She doesn’t act in spite of the harm but BECAUSE of it.

    ...My main point w/ this thread is that as a whole we need to develop more analysis around racism & capitalism. We must recognize our positioning as Black ppl w/n an economy built upon the enslavement of our ancestors & organized around white supremacy. 16/16

    As much as I love Denver, being in NYC and surrounded by so many Black and Brown folks reminds me of how painfully white Colorado is. It does a number on a person.

    I really wish folks would stop calling Trump a moron. It diminishes his evil, his calculating, scheming methodologies to exact maximum oppression against the most marginalized. Moron lets him off the hook and minimizes his threat.
