I know I don’t wanna hear no damn more about black people getting arrested or shot because they didn’t follow directions. I really don’t want to hear that bullshit excuse, in my lifetime, again. It is interesting that this happened right at the same time another black man was being killed by the police, and so soon after another black man was lynched for jogging. The greatest danger of black life in America has always been “whiteness”.

The only thing that some white people are learning from the many, many, many, videos of us dying at the hands of the police, is how they can kill us without getting their lily white hands dirty.
