Name a time in our history when black people did not live under a racist system. You cannot. Your system is racist and we are going to scream and shout about it until the status quoers get real fucking uncomfortable. As uncomfortable as a black man in a traffic stop. That includes all of you. Yes.
We are going to shame all of y'all for being complicit and not giving a fuck about the victims. Black people.
Since you know things, you know that black people are not considered innocent until proven guilty unless they are privileged. Most of us are not. You can see how fucked up it is. Black men are getting exonerated by dna every damn day. Lives stolen by your fair system with all of that due process and shit.
Walk a day in a black mans shoes and you'd stop being mealy mouthed and get real fucking pissed and disgusted. You can say those 'reasonable' things. You don't have to live black.
