We have to start oppressing white people.
This is about one thing: A young Black woman told an old white dude what to do and he’s not having it. What’s more, he absolutely believed those cops would side with him. I am surrounded by this type of ratf*cker and I’d bet money he’ll make a bit deal out of this with these guys’ supervisor ( I don’t GAF. I hope they…

“I think we reflect on a lot of things in hindsight” No shit...
Wintour needs to interrogate why ‘real’ and ‘accessible’ are even associated IN HER MIND with the first Black woman Vice President appearing in the aspirational Vogue?!
