He is NOT the spokesman for Black Americans.

Nor for Black dollars.

He's another jackleg megachurch preacher trying to get on TV.

With skeletons in his closet.

Including homophobia and misogynoir.

All skinfolk are not kinfolk.

The Target boycott is NOT over.

Fuck him.

Yesterday made five years since a shooting spree at three massage parlors (all of them brothels) in Atlanta, Georgia (USA) claimed the lived of eight people and (more positively) gave rise to the Stop Asian Hate movement.
Not surprisingly, in the aftermath some “solutions” such as more policing of or shutting down massage parlors were proposed — as if this were somehow the fault of people there, and not, I don't know, having given the shooter a gun license the very same day…

🕯️ Let's keep I mind: most victims were Asia. Most were women. Most were sex workers.
Most were all three.
It was not coincidental, no matter which version you pick.

Anyway… the day might be over, but the lives are still lost, and the effects still ripple — so, I'm bringing a few mentions.

> Today, five years ago, eight people lost their lives during the Atlanta Spa Shooting.

> In our joint statement Red Canary Song and Red Light District By Two call for an end to anti-Asian and anti-sex worker violence. Please take a moment to read the full statement.

> Today, we honour the lives of the eight people who were killed during the Atlanta spa shootings—six of them were Asian women. The workplaces were targeted because they were perceived to be Asian sex workers. They were loved and are deeply missed.
