When I heard the news that Senator Kamala Harris was presumed Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden’s running mate yesterday, my heart caught in my throat.
Do you want a pat on the back for choosing to send your daughter to a school that Black & Brown families are forced to accept? I don't get the self-congratulatory tone. Also, Kamala has a lot to answer for to black & brown voters, your ability to treat it as an afterthought is a mark of privilege here. Also, George Floyd and Breonna Taylor were human beings. The value of their lives is independent if they are someone's son or daughter. That's the whole point of BLM. Really makes me wonder whether "now, more than ever before, White Americans get that."
Oh yes. Yes yes. And the person with the collarless shirt and tie? xxooxS
Let’s do this 💪🏼
You walk the walk, Courtney, and no one "talks" it more eloquently. Thanks.
I’m crying. Yes. Let’s do this. All of this.
