[quote=Anonymous]It’s dumb shit like this that delays progress and derails change.  It’s a friggin tweet.  And not even an egregiously offensive or insensitive one at that.  It was poor timing on her part at best.

When somebody’s got their knee on your friend’s neck and they’re pleading for help that is not the best time to casually mention that you needed help last year and say you hope they’ll help you in the future.  They got a knee in their damn neck they ain’t trying to hear all that. Just help them.

And even still, she apologized.  She didn’t tweet anything especially harsh or heinous and yet she still immediately and sincerely apologized.  Why are folks still tripping?  So I’m like, Kenyan...Brandon...WTF are y’all doing?

As fired up as Blacks are right now these protests wouldn’t register half as powerful on the Richter scale if it weren’t for white folks hitting them streets right along side Blacks and no progress or change will come from all of this without white folks support.  Alienating em and flicking off on allies over stupid shit is totally counterproductive.

Folks need to shut up step back and refocus their energy and anger where it belongs or the enthusiasm will fade and the momentum will fizzle and nothing is gonna get accomplished.[/quote]
