God bless our beautiful, brown babies 😢

Yeah, we’re in deep shit, but we’re also in good hands if she’s representative of her generation.

This is the most terrible thing I’ve seen, that a sweet baby like this should have to talk like this. But she does. They all do. I am so ashamed.

I’ve said on another post that this speech got to me the most. The fact that she knows the unfortunate reality that in America, some lives matter more than others. The fact that so many communities don’t get celebrity support and media attention. That so many communities are used as political props to dogwhistle in…

Wow. Only 24 years and we can vote for her for president. She already gave a better speech than Trump ever has.

I had to watch her three times:

Well, if you remember back earlier when he & Sarah Propagandabee Slanders had more control of the media narrative, they were screeching about “gang violence in Chicago” (looking to demonize it with his base base with the bonus that that is where President Obama is from, so of course) but he doesn’t dare wade in now,…

I would say that Emma Gonzalez is the real face of this movement, but David is more active on twitter and media.

Have you watched Glover’s Atlanta? Absolutely stellar.

And its not just lack of media representation for the students of color.That’s bad enough. The media also needs to take some responsibility for uplifting the Parkland students and constantly referring to them as brave and smart, while at the same time vilifying BLM, for basically saying the same thing.

Absolutely. When viewing the news directly after the event, I saw very view obvious students of color. I especially didn’t see (or it wasn’t shown) anywhere close to 25%. But let’s be honest: if the school shooting was at a predominantly Black/Brown school the coverage would have been over weeks ago, the president…

So many Black teens marched after Trayvon Martin, Tamir Rice, and Mike Brown were killed by police officers. They did not have celebrity, mainstream media, and corporate support the way these kids do. One of my biggest complaints about Obama was that he didn’t support BLM enough in fear of pissing off Whites (who…

They’re right about that, too. I was about to do a piece about that, but I’m glad I waited - the kids beat me to it. So I’ll just put a few of the “greatest hits” here, since the kids are clearly making an effort and IMO deserve our support: PWMC, #RepresentationMatters Division: MSNBC Anchors Have Given…

Thank you for writing this. When the victims are white this narrative is all over the msm. It sounds like Draylen had enormous potential and iirc he aspired to be a neurologist. I said it elsewhere but it’s clear the white supremacist terrorist was threatened by the exceptionalism in this neighborhood.

“... Tucker-Fucking-Carlson 1:1 with “white people” is a bit beyond my comfort zone...”

There’s only one General Butt Naked. It’s obviously unfair to defame all black people because just one out of all those millions and millions is a literally blood-thirsty psycho fraud like him. However, a solid majority of American white voters knowingly voted in 2016 to put a vicious, ignorant, incompetent racist…

I’m a fellow white, and nah, we have to take this one. I mean, the majority of “us” voted for Tang the Conqueror. So the “not all white people” line is pretty weak. Sad to say, but yes, you can lump in Carlson with white people, to our eternal shame.

Hello First Time Caller,

Well, no. I know you better from other places, but trust me when I tell you that this is not the place you want to come and #NotAllWhitePeople (and yes - it reads that way to me too). Not if you like your own personal backside the shade it is, because Michael will roast it like marshmallows without thinking twice.
