Hi. I& #39;m Andre. I& #39;m making this thread to share things you should know about me and how I show up in this space.
1. In 2016, I started lugging a boulder around Los Angeles to demonstrate the burden that systemic places on the black psyche: http://bit.ly/2PAS2wI .">https://bit.ly/2PAS2wI&q...

2. Since then, I& #39;ve become a student of nonviolent struggle and social change. I& #39;m convinced that nonviolent struggle has to play an essential role in creating an antiracist society: http://bit.ly/2PAPrD4 .">https://bit.ly/2PAPrD4&q...
3. I& #39;m not talking to everyone. I& #39;m only speaking to people that understand that we live in a racist society and want to do something about it. I& #39;m not here to "reach across the aisle" or debate with opposers: http://bit.ly/2Ldx2xp .">https://bit.ly/2Ldx2xp&q...
4. I speak candidly, forcefully, playfully, and unapologetically about racism. I never aim to offend, but don& #39;t mind if I do. No amount of tone policing will work on me. If you don& #39;t like this channel, change it.
5. I don& #39;t worship white Jesus and have no interest in theologies that suggest I accept social injustice or entertain white nonsense. This is not up for debate: http://bit.ly/2VBzJwW .">https://bit.ly/2VBzJwW&q...
6. Some love to ask if I hate white people. It& #39;s irrelevant. And if yt ppl were half as concerned with justice as they are with policing black feelings, they wouldn& #39;t have to keep asking that question. But for the record: http://bit.ly/2PBdO3h .">https://bit.ly/2PBdO3h&q...
7. I believe that living in a racist society is entirely optional. It doesn& #39;t have to be this way. We can change it. I practice hope as a discipline and try to share that with my fellow antiracists.
8. I& #39;ve spent the past few years reading every book I can get my hands on about social change, speaking with experts, working with activists, and taking classes on nonviolent struggle. I send out an email every week to share what I& #39;m learning: http://bit.ly/2GIrZ2A .">https://bit.ly/2GIrZ2A&q...

10. I host a podcast w/ my friend @aliciatcrosby to explore practical insight on racial justice and social change: https://fanlink.to/hopeandhardpills">https://fanlink.to/hopeandha...
11. There’s a movement of others joining me in spreading this message by wearing it. You can find the shirt (and other items) here: https://andrehenrymusic.bandcamp.com/merch ">https://andrehenrymusic.bandcamp.com/merch&quo...
