I kind of think it’s okay that the Sunday shows are not platforming anybody Black.
White people did this, and white people have to answer their own evil.
Black folks are just innocent bystanders to their violence and bullshit.

I have been saying this for over two decades, but it could not be more acutely clear than it is now. This is the first step out of the hole. And until we take it, everything else is futile.

Black people are relatively well prepared for what’s about to happen because it’s happened to us before. America has done this to us before. It’s just about to widen the aperture to a bunch of people who ain’t used to it.
