I imagine there's some comfort in imagining a future without racism and projecting that onto the present. Thinking if we just deny the truth, it doesn't exist. If history is erased, we don't have to deal with its consequences. However...
@johnlegend You have a platform John, but you are willfully promoting hate against law enforcement when you of all people could be building a bridge between all groups involved. Cops have families too.
@horvat2boeser @johnlegend Respectfully, I don’t think it’s John’s job to do this. I think law enforcement needs to repair itself and its relationship with communities of color. There are simply too many examples now for the ‘one bad apple’ argument to stand. 1/
@horvat2boeser @johnlegend If the Canadian police can restrain themselves from shooting an actual terrorist, then American police can be retrained to stop shooting innocent black kids.
@TNmom53 @smartkaleck @horvat2boeser @johnlegend They’re shot whether they run or not, whether they have something in their hands or not...I’m not sure who you’re trying to convince but you’ve had the privilege of being born white. The best thing you can do with that privilege is to open your eyes, ears, heart and be an ally.

@RachelHenwood2 @TNmom53 @smartkaleck @horvat2boeser @johnlegend Privilege? How about paying for my education paying for my kids educations. No help. Working 50+ hour weeks. Paying taxes. Living hand to hand. No bailouts no assistance. Privilege. Please.
@RachelHenwood2 @TNmom53 @smartkaleck @horvat2boeser @johnlegend If you looked at the data objectively you’d feel pretty stupid about this tweet
@RachelHenwood2 @TNmom53 @smartkaleck @horvat2boeser @johnlegend A white gurl telling white people about white privilege lol make me a sandwich
