This is Bull Connor. He was the architect of police brutality in the 1950s & 60s. Generally remembered to be a monster of a man. I’ve heard he was a skilled & persuasive organizer of people. Think I’m going to wear a t-shirt or hat with his face or name because of that?pic.twitter.com/706lD2hKmc
This is Frank Rizzo - Chief of Police in Philadelphia. Few modern American leaders were as consistently brutal and bigoted as he. I also heard that he was as determined as a man could ever be. I’m not getting a “determination” hat or shirt with his name or face on it.pic.twitter.com/7PEetuJxap
This is J. Edgar Hoover. He helped plot the destruction of Black movements and leaders for generations. He was also an exceptionally skilled institution builder. I can’t celebrate his skill, though, because the harm he did was real. Can’t name my kid Hoover. Or say I love himpic.twitter.com/t0iiyVfCXl
Kanye has decided that all of the harm Trump has caused to very real people - that it doesn’t really matter much - because he likes the man’s personality, his style. This doesn’t make him “a free thinker” or a maverick. It makes him an insensitive asshole. END OF THREAD
I was born in Philly and the Rizzo years were some of the worst for the black citizens in the city!!!
Ask @mitchellreports about this crud. It's no surprise the @Starbucks debacle took place in this area.
I also don’t see your Too Black Too strong Shirt.
