ReginaldOhLawIf people resist calling the murder of Tyre Nichols an act of white supremacy, then how about calling it an act of toxic masculinity? Toxic masculinity that’s part of a persistent pattern inflicted on African Americans.

A.R. Moxon, Verified Duck 🦆It's extraordinary how brutal police are willing to be, the lengths to which they are willing to go, the solidarity they are willing to show, in order to deliver to Black U.S. citizens—the protection of whom is their ostensible jobs—the clear message, "we are at war with you."

Anyone who says the killing of Tyre Nichols can’t be about racism because the cops were also Black really doesn’t understand how white supremacy or anti-Blackness work

Two quick comments on this.
First, if anyone foists that BS #rhetoric about "why hasn't the Black community done as well as other minority groups", or worse, "if Black folks just kept their noses clean and took care of their own business, they'd be fine", this shows that those are BS pivots.
Second, #whitesupremacy is not passive, it proactively, deliberately pursues disruption, destruction, death. Their terrorism is diabolical, and relentless; opposing it can't be casual.
L O L G O PThey want to abolish the IRS just because some rich people have to pay some taxes. Imagine what they'd do if they had to live in the constant expectation that they may be pulled out of their car and have bear repellant sprayed in their face for no explicable reason.

Florida blocks high school African American studies class
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis' administration has blocked a new Advanced Placement course on African American studies from being taught in high schools, saying it violates state law and is historically inaccurate.
All "American Taliban" stuff to describe our bad-in-its-own-right religious right is wack. But it's still key that we note what all this nonsense shares with the American right's anti-drag queen passion: a hatred of women by men who constantly feel inadequate because women exist.
