Oh, yeah, thanks, #Liberals, #WhiteModerates, and #Democrats for falling back into your historical alignment with right-wing racist reactionaries after the massive #GeorgeFloyd rebellions had given this country a glimmer of hope.
With your pearl clutching and histrionics about shoplifting and crime waves, rushing to outflank each other with anti-defund the police showmanship, electoral recalls of anyone deemed "soft on crime" or "too woke," bullshit about needing even more cops with even bigger budgets for "training," refusing to seriously invest in historically marginalized communities, you all have a hand in the stasis that is American injustice, from #RodneyKing in 1991 to #OscarGrant in 2009 to #TyreNichols in 2023.
If you never grow a spine and stand up for true equal rights and justice, own your racist instincts and commit to moving the country forward, we'll just keep reliving this same nightmare over and over again. Are you really comfortable with that, because every indication is that you are?

This reminds me of what #MartinLutherKing said about #WhiteModerates: “the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to ‘order’ than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice;” (4/6) 🧵
