George Floyd's murder was about race, not class.

Right now you have wealthy white Cosplay Socialists parachuting in to BLM protests to hijack Black pain because white leftists still believe class issues supersede the immediate need to end Black pain and death. Stop letting these self absorbed leftists play you.

Or, you can ignore all the blatantly obvious signs and just keep letting loud and wrong white leftists play you for the okeydoke. https://twitter.com/eclecticbrotha/status/1267114890726080513?s=20
This only applies to a small portion of them, but I agree that when your campaign cry is “political revolution” you should probably realize that “political revolutions” usually involve an awful lot of death, destruction and mayhem. https://t.co/dcB4ZMtBoz

Y’all want some justice? Me too. One of the ways we can do that is keeping @lucymcbath in office and putting @SybrinaFulton in office. Donate to their campaigns today.

Black people who actually live in these communities are telling us that outsiders are the ones destroying property, but this white man says it’s not true. https://t.co/M9kGJjJehI

Cosplay socialism is thinking the answer to racism, inequality, injustice, or despair or really any other problem in the country is listening to a rich white woman with a history of defrauding donors by skimming off of her PACs. https://t.co/PxiOU7lXUL

Bernie Bros trying to coopt #MinneapolisUprising and rebrand it as revolt against the evil specter of capitalism is the logical extension of Bernie's 5 year effort to erase the struggles of Black America and reassure angry rich white kids that everything is still all about them.

Son called today to say he was going to a protest in NY to provide bottled water and take first aid kits. Proud of that kid. But, when he told me that he had written my telephone number on his arm “just in case,” I damn near cried. Why do our babied have to even think abt this?!

We’ve seen this in South Africa before. Beware of agitators and instigators who use legitimate protests to ignite chaos between protestors and police.

This month we have had one group protesting because they can't get haircuts or soft serve ice cream and another group protesting because they can't get the government to stop killing them. These two things are not alike.

Indeed, we do.
We need a national database of decertified police officers. No more dangerous cops getting a new job two towns away.

I know your pain, your rage, your sense of despair and hopelessness. Justice has, indeed, been denied for far too long. Rioting, looting, and burning is not the way. Organize. Demonstrate. Sit-in. Stand-up. Vote. Be constructive, not destructive. https://t.co/YbB14dgzr9

Trump has gotten away with EVERYTHING. My prediction is that he walks away from this too along with his criminal friends and family. Probably end up with another reality show.

We do not have a president. There is no leadership at all. It was bound to catch up with us, four years is a long time to not have a president. The con man in the Oval Office is done, blathering nonsense day in and day out, hiding, totally incapable of handling the pandemic and the nationwide protests. Another six months of this? God help us.

I hope everyone understands that this just gets worse until he’s gone. It appears that the soonest that might happen is next January. But until then everything is just going to get worse. He’s fixated on “the economy”, his “beautiful economy” that was going to get him re-elected. In the real world, however, the downward spiral is accelerating. And he isn’t playing with a full deck, never was.
