The relentless, centuries-long brutalization of Black people in this country is bad, but our integrity as a civilization in this hour will be measured by our ability to protect the merchandise in a Dollar Tree.
As I watch yet another American town erupt in riots over policing just miles from where yet another trial is underway for yet another case of police murdering a Black person, my thoughts are with the 99 cent items imported from sweatshops overseas & sold to poor people here.
Thank you, white corporate America, for always reminding us what truly matters. We need the police force that just murdered someone to now saturate the streets in teargas. If the cheap merchandise is lost tonight, who are we as a nation?
