"The developments that led to the overpolicing of minorities did not originate with an intention to do so. Instead, the shift began with the mass production of the automobile and the imperative to regulate the motoring public." | @SAShistorian http://bostonreview.net/law-justice/sarah-seo-how-cars-transformed-policing

Teachers do not like it when I call schools institutionally racist & oppressive. I have been doing this work for some time, & experiencing this for a lifetime. Trust me schools are the most violent institutions there is. I put schools before Universitities, and before the police.

@angelaw676 My father, E. Douglas Wilhite, learned how to fly (mostly at Compton Airport) because, in part, of the Tuskegee airmen which definitely gave me the arrogance/confidence to get a technical education that has kept me employed for most of my children's lifetime 😇✈🚜 #nowar

@KinteSpace Blacknificent🖤

I'm not a numbers person, but what is the cost of intergenerational enslavement stretching back before the founding of this nation, how do we add up the land lost from running from rapes and lynchings, what is the value lost on a redlined property? What's that number? https://twitter.com/The_DL_KING/status/1142916425436344327

@profblmkelley There are those who will argue for the nuance but for many, many others reparations is a capitalist non-solution to a problem that has been around since the Moors were driven out of Spain c. 700BCE😇 It is a typical, materialistic American-African worship-of-money display.

PLEASE STOP MAKING MOVIES AND TV SHOWS ABOUT BLACK PEOPLE HELPING RACIST WHITE PEOPLE FIND REDEMPTION.

THIS IS REDUCTIVE, ILL-CONCEIVED AND VIOLENT AGAINST BLACK PEOPLE!!!!

@KayOyegun The white-liberal, colonial-inheritance problem with telling stories about self-starting, self-organizing Black people is an ego-bound, infantile needs problem, using the rules of petty, beauty -pageant jealously against the glorious, meta-physical Black struggle😇

@ninamonei A critique of a father is often framed in the expectation for an opportunity to change while a critique of a mother is almost always regarded as a personal attack that must be defended against at all costs, including the life of her child #goddesscomplex #invulnerable
