As an educated black woman, I didn't exist for Kirk! I was a contamination. That's the language white supremacist used during Reconstruction and Jim Crow. Black people not groomed to be slaves were out of place.


Kirk should be alive. I'm opposed to violence. Contrary to my neighbors at Saxony Manor in Kenosha, violence is my subject matter - not what I advocate. But nuance thinking is problematic in the US, isn't it? Racism is a subject matter. That doesn't make me, a black woman, racist. Like my neighbors, Kirk was anti-black. I have no value. No black woman in America has value, unless we remain submissive. And ignorant.


This country has rejected women. Its rejected blacks. How will we ever connect the dots when all else fails?


Look in the mirror.

This is a great article, giving me incite on the thoughts and feelings of a Black woman in America. Black people have suffered through 400 years of white oppression. With MAGA, the next few years will be excruciatingly worse I think. Especially for Black people, but I think anybody with half a brain and a heart will feel worse. And Charlie, he was for free speech. Just not YOUR free speech! I never heard of him until he was shot.

A rant based on myth. I tend to lean toward Maxwell's tesimony and the FBI's prognosis. Not that I am some friend of the FBI, but I trust Patel more than the rest that has ever been the head of it.
