I don't want to hear white people's takes on rioting in response to #GeorgeFloyd 's murder. And murder it was. Ya'll storm the capital w/ guns because someone asked you to wear a mask, and riot in the streets when your fave team wins or loses. We've been stolen, 1/

sold, raped, bred, beaten and killed. White women feel comfortable conjuring non-existent black men to cover for murdering their own children, and Mayella Ewell's lies aren't confined to literature. In spite of every damn obstacle we didn't put in our own way, we persist. 2/

We have in this country's history fed you, including literally, wet nursed you without choice, raised and picked crops, wiped your noses and asses, cleaned your homes, worked in factories, managed to educate ourselves when we couldn't attend "your" schools, 3/

We have served in the military only to come back to the country we fought for to be spat on, beaten or lynched. So that your people could exercise their freedumb while oppressing us. I'm so fucking sick of it and if you can't understand how after seeing a man once again 4/

effectively lynched at the hands of the police, by a man with an expression that said "who's gonna stop me" and the cocksure smirk that no consequence would follow...if you can't understand that every year we've been here, we've known this violence and it continues even now...

If you can't understand the anger and rage and heartbreak at knowing that yet again, justice will likely be denied , then IDGAF about anything you have to say. #AmyCooper could have summoned up a similar fate for #ChristianCooper. #TomAustin the same for those young men 6/

at "his" gym ( well not anymore). Every damn day we are at risk of one of you being the cause of our lives, our children's lives ending violently and too soon. You all need to fix this and stop pretending that you don't benefit from this rigged system. 7/7
