That many years ago a Black person died to police brutality. There was an old man one of my relatives' friends had to take care of who shouted slurs and treated her like a slave showing clearly that some people don't change after time. Racism is not invalid just because of someone's previous age or previous years, and if people fail to properly address it and apologize then nothing happens. There is no justice. There is no fixing. There is no healing. There's nothing and it's scary because this happens all the time. It's the best example of white privilege, the ability to say the n slur and have an army of white knights protect you from learning, actually growing, actually understanding why what they said is harmful.

All we want is a proper apology, a proper resolution to not do it again, fully showing the audience why the n slur is actually bad so they stop defending it, and then never repeating. That's all we want. Now some people want these people fired of course and some don't want one featured subject but all we need as Black people is for people to stop belittling the n slur to "just a word" instead of its continous connection to antiBlack oppression we see today. Like guys, racism isn't over. Slavery isn't over. Disenfranchisement isn't over. Those still exist and thrive as ever. The fight for Black people is as active as the fight for other minorities.

Do not use this as a sole voice for every Black person obviously, but my current unit is about our suffering and fight in the US and I've seen how little we matter to others in full light for our entire lives here. I don't want to allow white people to get away with oppression just because it was removed enough in time, that reflects today. If you can't condemn the word for someone in a functional age just because it was a while ago, then why now? Yeah people should be allowed to change but people remain secretly racist for years. I want them to show they've actually changed and I want it now. That's not too much to ask for, it's what we've been asking for our entire lives.

I don’t have much to add here because everything you’ve said here is the bare minimum of what black peeps want, me included.

I’ve said my piece about it but I will reiterate that in this situation the people who rightfully feel hurt should not have their feelings invalidated.

is that my circus? yuuuup. and those are my TOYS yeapppp

also my baby circus au (important)

There’s a lot happening right now now: KOSA & the SCREEN Act advancing to a final committee vote(No date announced as of today), A possible gutting of Section 230(Yet to be introduced); Everyone is scared & tired. I get it.

But we need to keep pushing back.

We need to keep fighting.

The only reason none of this has happened yet is because people have been so loud about it.

There’s one week left in the House before winter recess, So we need to go hard. We need to lock in. Call all of your representatives—Senators and House—really pester them on how dangerous all of this is.

Please spread this around.

Don’t panic & keep fighting!!

they've made the scanning ''voluntary'' but it is mainly to shut us up about this, keep emailing your reps and putting pressure on these bastards. fight for your digital privacy against these fuckers in power.

(because if you don’t have a digital ID, you can’t work in the UK)

but his tweet talking about the digital ID law got community noted, twice

And also, there is a petition against digital ID’s and right now it has about 1.5 million signatures. It is still rapidly growing because it had about 1.1 million a few hours ago.

Go ahead and sign this and be part of the massive growing group saying “I ain’t about this”

You can contact MP’s here

Or if you want to contact this dude
