I still can& #39;t really put everything I& #39;d like into as concise and precise wording as I& #39;d like. I said I& #39;ve been quiet because it& #39;s very "welp, here we go again". But I& #39;ve got some things I& #39;d like to share that& #39;s summing up a lot of the protests and what& #39;s happening for me. First: https://twitter.com/antoniofrench/status/1266960975124717568">https://twitter.com/antoniofr...
Second, here& #39;s a compilation put together by @daviddoel that& #39;s frustrating to watch because of how casual the police behavior during the protests have been. The people who are supposed to protect and serve. https://youtu.be/j3DX3SLGB34 ">https://youtu.be/j3DX3SLGB...
Third, and the part that always seems to go underneath in all of this: politicians and prosecutors have to be held responsible as well when they fail to respond, bring forth justice, and not actually do anything to bring forth change.
This is rapper Killer Mike speaking more specifically on the matter: https://twitter.com/fareednbcs/status/1266587297706893312?s=21">https://twitter.com/fareednbc... https://twitter.com/fareednbcs/status/1266587297706893312">https://twitter.com/fareednbc...
Last is this James Baldwin quote that always sits with me. This is decades... centuries... of this going on. And the resistance met is usually one of "wait" or "the time is coming" or negative peace. https://twitter.com/antoniofrench/status/1267115404935204864?s=21">https://twitter.com/antoniofr... https://twitter.com/antoniofrench/status/1267115404935204864">https://twitter.com/antoniofr...
And I wanna thank all of those who reached out to me about all of this. I know two or three years ago I& #39;m normally on top of this and the most outspoken, but I& #39;ve grown tired of Twitter fights and feeling like yelling into a void. Thank you allies for listening and understanding.
