“We know how you all want us to cancel black people when they do something bad, but you keep making excuses for people you revere. People say, “can’t we just draw the line at rapists and murderers?” But for us history is rife with horrible men and then we’ve learned that we have to sing praises to those horrible men, and we see them on our money and their names on our schools and our bridges. So horrible man is not a disqualifier. Our lives are imbued with them. When they ask us about Michael Jackson (how can you sing those songs?) and R Kelly; it’s complicated. I will get rid of Michael Jackson when you get rid of Andrew Jackson. At least you can dance to Beat It. But our stories are so full of irredeemably horrible people that it’s something we can compartmentalize. Literally, if Bill Cosby was a priest, he wouldn’t be in prison.” RacismBlack Lives MatterBlack HistoryBlmCancel CultureAndrew JacksonMichael JacksonBill Cosby Book:Surrender, White People!: Our Unconditional Terms for Peace Source: Surrender, White People!: Our Unconditional Terms for Peace
“Every few months, white people trot out a new title in a series called Cops Keep Killing People. Each new release has the latest tragic scene on the cover. It sure seems to be the same book recycled over and over, but please don't form a judgment until you read all five hundred pages. Maybe this time the story will end differently and the cops will be the hero!” MurderPoliceBlack Lives MatterBlack HistoryPolice BrutalitySystemic RacismPolice StateRacial DiscriminationRacial ProfilingRacial Injustice Book:How Not to Get Shot: And Other Advice From White People Source: How Not to Get Shot: And Other Advice From White People
