Don’t believe everything you think.

There’s something about eating a lollipop alone that seems utterly inappropriate.

Societies are made great when old men plant trees, the shade of which, they will never sit in.

Overheard some kids say I looked 16 with the body of a 21 year old, so I think I’ve peaked. All downhill from here on out. Granted ... they were 12 and 16 to them seems like 42... but I’ll take what I can get.

Happiness is amazing. It’s so great, it doesn’t matter if it’s yours or not.

How embarrassing to be human.

We did it, America. We flattened the curve.

Body cameras aren’t just capturing cops planting evidence, they’re showing how bad they are at it. #tbt

You know how mad you get when Siri doesn’t respond? Now multiply that by 400 years of racial oppression. Not only will Siri NOT set your timer, she’ll also incriminate and murder your people too. Go ahead and CALMY 🙄 ask Siri to do something after THAT damage.

@DreieieiBenny I get the issue with vanity posts, but attacking those seeking progress, in any form, is how those in power stay in power. Through our division. Who is THE MOST progressive isn’t going to help the cause—liberalism is not a competition.

@ItsIliRay Does tweeting and hearting count as something?

It might not be “you’re fault” that you’re white, but it’s you’re fault if you’re white and DO NOTHING.

This man pointed a bow and arrow at protestors. And then went on national tv saying he received his injuries from Black men because he said “All Lives Matter”. The enemy is wicked, y’all.

Y’all couldn’t impose a curfew, no REAL STRICT stay at home order for Corona but y’all was SPEEDY with this eight pm curfew for our protests??? Y’all calling the national guard when we advocating for George Floyd being MURDERED but not when covid death toll at 100k+???

"Black Americans watch time and time again how the contract that they have signed with society is not being honored by the society that has forced them to sign it with them."

People complaining about unrest only admit their complacency with a racist system they benefit from. You cannot tell people who have been stepped on politically/socially/literally how to respond to injustice.That‘s another way to CONTROL those who built this country IN CHAINS.

"Racism in America is like dust in the air. It seems invisible — even if you’re choking on it — until you let the sun in,” writes Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. “As long as we keep shining that light, we have a chance of cleaning it wherever it lands.” latimes.com/opinion/story/…

Boy you’d think a country that can equip every cop like a soldier could equip every doctor like a doctor

A chunk of the population will never emotionally allow themselves to see the deep-rooted truth of all this. And they can do that bc they’ve never HAD 2see the assaulting & constant racism built into every fiber of this country. For them, empathy’s reserved for dogs.
