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...
Far too many people don't have the luxury of closing their eyes and ears. They feel it in their lives and can't act like what they see and know doesn't exist.
They know their family was destroyed by deportation or incarceration. They know their loved one was denied safe harbor because of their religion. They know their son or daughter was shot because their skin color evoked fear
They see the statistics about black applications for real estate or loans or employment being turned away because their name was Jamal and not James
@johnlegend @johnlegend is offering to open his home to illegal immigrants?
@johnlegend Destroyed by deportation because they CHOSE to come here ILLEGALLY. Destroyed by incarceration because someone BROKE THE LAW! Who TF are we denying safe harbor due to Religion? Lie! And sir..I could get shot going downtown where I live! Sadly more black on black crime :(
@johnlegend People have been deported all the time, you don’t think Obama did it?
@johnlegend Instead of constructive solutions, John is promoting victimization in an attempt to be divisive, to instill fear & anger. It's all negativity, 24, 7. Break away from this negativity and be the best you can be. Someday John might follow YOU.
@johnlegend There is some serious support for the ongoing #liberal fear mongering going on right here folks. Totally twisted BS. This is why some people won’t think for themselves. They’ve been convinced that they are victims. #maga #kag
