Explaining 2020 is gonna be muthafukka
Lotta white folks held views and beliefs that they were taught to hold have been hit with an “oh shyt” They weren’t exaggerating about inequalities and injustice because they get videos, social media and reactions in real time
tough to look away and play stupid at this point unless you make the Active decision to do so.
A lot of the old “norms” are done for
It’s pretty sad it took this long for people to see this was an issue. Matter of fact, it’s not sad, it’s disgusting.

and here's where I get in trouble. Obama and Trump have both kept us out of that bullshyt. And I appreciate them both for that.It would probably help if it were a war to do with the actual security of the US, and not a mercenary mission for Exxon and Halliburton and Blackwater.
I'm not buying the majority of support I'm seeing from companies and white america on black issues.

History says be very cautious with optimism here
shyt feels different than the usual energy. Seeing it first hand here in Minneapolis
Guilt is a powerful motivator though and people been sitting at home without outlets or escapes for months so turning a blind eye isn’t as easy for them as it once was.
