This is the face of a man who climbed the ladder of affirmative action to his present perch of power only to help destroy the very ladder on which he ascended. This is not only the mark of deep ingratitude & disavowal of history, but a withering betrayal of justice & democracy.

I grew up in Detroit in the 60s. This is a stark reminder of the deep hatred of blackness felt by many white folk who lived in the suburbs but who exploited the city’s services and resources before fleeing back to “safety.” “Stop the count” may as well be “Stop the blacks.” Sad.

I wonder if you would join me in embracing Vanessa Bryant. Even though we’re not with her, Love travels and is transcendent.

Black men should stand with Black women in the case of #MikayahBryant . It is wholly unwarranted for a Black girl with a knife to be shot down by a policeman without resort to tackling her or otherwise stopping her. White folk with knives are often stopped without being killed.

For all those who argue that, without condition, and immediately, that we should compromise and reach out to the other side that lost the election, remember this: the Republicans have yet, for the most part, to even recognize @JoeBiden as president or say as much in public.

February 19, 2018, after epic flight, 4 black men — thinkers, writers, artists, activists, media commentators, intellectuals — forged a momentary bond in black solidarity & unapologetic excellence 2 salute 1 another and our race as beautiful and worthy of love. #RIPNipseyHussle

For @nhannahjones ,the most visible and impactful Black Public Intellectual in America today, to take her talents to @HowardU speaks volumes about her integrity, vision, dedication — and love for Black folk. Like her idol Ida B. Wells, her pen is her sword, and how sharp it is!

I’m shocked you don’t understand that your father has unleashed the worst sort of racial hostility possible because of statements & actions that betray lethal ignorance & fatal bigotry. This may be a hoax — but your Daddy’s behavior is the greatest horror film since “Get Out.”

Shocked, I really thought MAGA folks (who are all over downtown Chicago) were waiting with a rope/bottle of bleach to ambush a righ guy at 2am in minus 4 degrees because those are conditions where all people go out for Subway rather than order Seamless. Seemed so real🙄🙄🙄

Had a dream I was @Yamiche ‘s anger translator. “Mr. President, if you weren’t such a dim-witted, thin-skinned, mediocre perpetrator who’s way out of his depth, and beneficiary of white male privilege who’s presently putting all our lives at risk, I’d laugh at your simple ass!”

Aretha Franklin will always be, to me, a symbol of the potent power, dutiful determination, splendacious strength and bountiful beauty of a black woman. I hope I captured that in my remarks at her homegoing. #whattruthsoundslike #whyiloveblackwomen

My unapologetically dramatic comments meant to bring down a hammer on the vicious anti- democratic GA Republicans: “These are the kind of people who would pass a law to keep Jesus from getting a cup of water while he’s dying on the Cross.” ⁦ @JoyAnnReid ⁩ ⁦ @thereidout ⁩

Had to celebrate @MsGladysKnight again! Her range of songs and styles is breathtaking. The solemn beauty, the ardent delivery, the majestic tones and yearning, mournful pleas that emanate from one of the most gorgeous and expressive voices ever is immensely gratifying. We ❤️ You!

When I wrote “Tears We Cannot Stop: A Sermon to White America,” some white readers said it was too brutally honest for them to take at times. I hope today’s video of that young man being hunted and killed shows you why I wrote it and how we black folk feel. Rage. Pain. Grief.
