The lesson, my friends: White supremacist terrorism was not confined to the South. Extremist groups can infiltrate institutions and Northern racial violence has often been erased from public memory—all by design. True story. #KeepItWoke #DedicatedToTam✡️🕊 www.bunkhistory.org/resources/yo...

Having a cousin that is a pro athlete, reduces a Black boy's probability of being convicted of a crime. Not because the athlete is a role model. But because they have the means to help the young man avoid being convicted while innocent. But it's still not enough to overcome the level of US racism

It is bizarre to watch people use the words "restorative justice" to center the need of someone who assaulted someone else. You simply cannot talk about restorative justice in this context without centering his victim.

Imagine paying $50 for an all you can eat buffet. The lines a bit long but the food is ok. Now imagine you only pay $20 to go to the buffet. But Each piece of food costs $500 dollars. Drinks are at a different buffet. Same with silverware. Long lines too. Universal vs whatever our healthcare is.
