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
I love that great, brilliant artists have the power to imagine a better future. But artists can't be blind to the truth.
@johnlegend John Legend is part of the Leftist Globalist racist hate machine spreading falsehoods about President Trump and his supporters.
@johnlegend Dude, you need to talk to someone who actually can push back on, what you think, are facts.
@johnlegend @RealCandaceO @kanyewest Hey John Roger Stevens did you have to google Candace Owens?
@johnlegend thank you for these tweets. in a sea of MESS today, you are a beacon of hope.
@johnlegend Wait, so we all have to think the same? Approved thoughts only?😐
@johnlegend We all know you’re talking about yourself.
@johnlegend The sad part is that you don't even know how wrong you are.
@johnlegend Who gets to set the standard as to who is blind and what is the truth? Your truth may not be someone else's. That is @kanyewest entire point. Think outside the box and let others think for themselves. Judging someone because they dont "see" your truth, is in fact being blind.
@johnlegend Yet some, like John, are since black unemployment is at historically low levels today. One could conclude John is either blind or counting on the fact you are so you think things are horrible when in fact it is quite the opposite. bizpacreview.com/2018/01/06/tru…
