Greatly disliked this article. It was very sympathetic to the white girl who said the racist slur stating “her life was ruined” for saying it. The article fails to mention the connection between the word and anti-Black violence. Those who’ve died don’t get to tell their story. https://twitter.com/globaldan/status/1342960206930653186
2/The article attempts to discuss one very real issue —much of our education system has allowed anti-Blackness to flourish with no consequences for decades. Instead it rhapsodically discusses this young woman’s life and how her potential is denied. How is it denied?
3/She’s still going to school. Community college is nothing to be ashamed of. They even took a photo of her featured delicately on her stairs, as well as a photo of her cheerleading metals. Redemption for her — Redemption that has been denied too many Black folks.

4/This week we witnessed a media that was hesitant to even say the word “Terrorist” for the white man who bombed buildings in Nashville, Tennessee. The media continuously goes out of its way to protect whiteness.
