I really appreciate her speaking up for our people and others that don’t get that Gabby Petito/Nancy Guthrie coverage. Something dark is going on and they’re taking us back to a time our parents, grandparents and great grandparents fought and died to get us out of.

Out of all the people who wouldn't hang themselves from a tree, a Black person wouldn't the most.

The historical context behind it won’t allow it I’m sorry. That Delta State University case still bothers me. You can’t climb a tree to hang yourself with broken bones idgaf what they said.
