The cost for that refusal to deal with the reality of racism and its impact on Black and Brown communities is high. Look how long it has taken white folks across the nation to ramp up and take to the streets. I love the guy in the frog suit and the one who threw the sandwich, but ask yourself why were they the iconic images of this struggle until a white person was killed? 5/8

#BlackMastodon #BlackFedi #BlackTwitter #ThoughtExperiment Who were the black and brown activists that are being beat and arrested since August? Who are the 30 people killed by ICE last fall? Or, any of the thousands disappeared out of Alligator Alley? What’s the name of the guy who was murdered while he was detained? Can we imagine them? See what I’m saying? The tactics used by ICE now in MN, Chicago, L.A., Portland, were perfected right here in DC in August! 6/8

What if the true measure of a moment's power wasn't its immediate notice, but the quiet, persistent echo it left for future understanding?
