1/ It is the myth of individualism, perpetuated by White Supremacy that acquitted Christian Theriault today. Despite his clear participation in the attempted lynching of Dafonte Miller, because there was "reasonable doubt" that he himself did not brandish the weapon/throw a punch
2/ ...he walked away scot free. If you are confused as to why the Black community is angry, just remember all the of the Black people sitting in jail right now in pre-trial detention, being punished before they've even gone to trial. Remember all the Black kids suspended...
3/...from school for merely witnessing an act of violence while in a group of Black kids. All the Black men carded for existing in public, or arrested because they "fit the description" because their skin colour is an indication of guilt.
4/ White people get to be individuals. To "fear for their lives". Black people, who are terrorized every day in this White supremacist world, are not allowed the luxury of acting out of fear because our fear is a threat. I'm done.
