One day, y’all will realize that these corporations own more land than we could ever dream of, or catch up to — it’s okay to break a few of their windows!!!!! Stop treating businesses like they’re neutral (or even helpful!) in the fight against racism.
Everything comes back to landowners. who do you think has the money and influence and lobbyists to make change? The same businesses on your Main Street, USA. The collective voice of the people has *never* been enough to intact change. Break all the windows.

Friendly reminder: “40 acres and a mule” was reversed after Lincoln’s assassination. It never happened. And in 1865, when it should have happened, there were FOUR MILLION slaves in the US. If you have descendants from this time, there’s an 89% chance they were slaves.
