2020 Uprising: Enough is Enough

I saw a statement from Lyn Rigby stating in no uncertain terms that they were against everything Lee stood for. Assholes, every single one of them.

Seriously, it does make sense. Read it, don’t just look at it.

I’m a biracial Black woman with a conscious, liberal White mother, which means that over the years, we have had some very interesting conversations about racism.

Most of my mom’s own family rejected her over us, her ‘Mixed’ children, although I didn’t actively realize that while growing up.

But as a young adult, my mom was the first person to hip me to the fact that many bigots and racists don’t actually realize that’s what they are. Both her brothers are raging bigots, yet neither one realizes it, simply because they are not on the most extreme end of what I call ‘the hatred spectrum.’

I remember being stunned by her telling me that at that time, but just from what I’ve personally witnessed in the 30 years since, she was spot on.

They condemn equally violence against people, property, and monuments?

Smashing a window open and smashing someones skull open are condemned * equally*?

They do realize their “Fathers” would disown them for that, right?

Because it’s a very new phenomenon. It boggles my mind the kind of racist & authoritarian messages people post on LinkedIn and never have it blow back on them. For the past 15 years it’s been like that, and it’s only really changed in the past week.

Really going out of their way to destroy the “not all cops” narrative, aren’t they?

When have they ever given a shit about being “sensitive”? For years they mocked and derided young people for having empathy for others. What a bullshit apology.

“Insensitive” is an interesting word choice. It implies that they knew what they were doing when they created, edited, and approved the graphic, but just didn’t think anyone would care.

Something a bit lighter, because we could all probably use it:

Not sure if anyone’s shared this but sums current events up nicely.

I was trying to puzzle out what that pink thing was but another twitter user called them out on it:

They eventually were delivered. USPS won’t say why they considered them “suspicious,” but I might hazard a guess…
