Someone should tell Magic little digs like this is how Phil Jackson started out......

Hello! Now I’m curious as to how exactly they’re treating “ordinary” black men; Not even “criminal” or “suspect”, just ordinary. That’s why I can’t even fully get behind respectability politics, because they’re gunning for you either way. I’m tired of it.

As much as black cops internalize the racist system for which they work for, they are also very much at risk to be victims too.

Just so I understand...The off duty cop is on the ground, surrounded by other police officers (which is maybe a little suspicious, but doesn’t scream racism yet). They eventually recognize him, and tell him to get up. At the same time, a rando cop arrives on the scene, see’s the off-duty cop up/getting up and shoots…

Oh there be plenty of racist assholes in Canada too. :(

Does anyone else feel sad for the child that has to grow up with this woman as a role model?

And goddamnit I missed the autocorrect he’ll.

Can you imagine *feeling* like this? That whiteness itself could be the panacea that will solve your kid’s chest pain? So she must believe her whiteness is built to improve all situations as well. White supremacy is sooooo illogical. You can’t argue with crazy, so she will continue to dare people to slap her in public…

>>>”“Oh, my God, what type of horrible country do I live in?” the woman ranted. “Being a white person in this country, I should just shoot myself.”

there was an episode of ER years ago featuring a story line of an elderly black lady (played by juanita moore from “imitation of life”) being overseen by dr. benton (erik lasalle). she’s wary of him and even as dr. benton tries to do a basic checkup she interrupts and says that she thinks its fine that he’s a doctor…

“Thank you, I will be here all week...”

Black patients wanting white doctors is absolutely a thing. Institutionalized racism is a he’ll of a thing.

I use to be one at a movie theater.

I wonder if she had the white woman “I want to speak to a manager haircut”?

You know what they say, not all skinfolk is kinfolk.

...Why? Why did ANYONE think this was a good idea to do? WHY!?

That’s why I’m amazed they all just sat there. When I was in 11th grade a similar incident happened and a boy got all up in the face of a teacher from India, calling him all kinds of names. Two classmates jumped right in & put him in a headlock & dragged him out of class.

Fucking Christ, it’s time we all stopped being stupid gawking bystanders when this shit happens in front of us. The more we sit silently and watch it, the more it emboldens these pieces of shit. SHUT THAT SHIT DOWN IMMEDIATELY. Put these hateful fucks in their place and make it known we as decent human-fucking-beings…

I think growing up seeing abuse normalizes it. My metric for healthy was all skewed because I was abused as a kid and berated by my mother, cousins, day care workers and in school. Does a number on you particularly during your formative years. I don’t identify with it as strongly, but I remember when I was a kid and…
