@ReneeVoiceBrand @QasimRashid We are still working out the failure of Reconstruction.
Opposition to FDR’s new deal, civil rights laws of the 1960s, and now “anti-woke” censorship of Black history. It’s all about rejecting any responsibility for slavery and rejecting full rights to Black people.
@QasimRashid what fucks me up is that the way Ashli Babbit died was steepedin white privilege, too.
She was crawling through a broken window, trying to breach the barricaded door to the Speaker's Lobby. A USCP officer inside verbaly told her to back off _several times_, then aimed his gun at her and again ordered her to stop.
She didn't even hesitate, and continued to climb in, clearly just assuming that as a white woman she wouldn't face consequences for not complying.
I'm saddened by her death, as I am with any human life cut short, and extrajudicial executions by the police are an epidemic in the U.S., but her demise was THE definition of "fuck around and find out".
Play stupid games, win stupid prices.
Kind of showing their "tidy whities", eh? carry on
