You're told it's your fault

Clint Smith @ClintSmithIII 19h
You're killed police, you're told it's your fault. You're killed by covid-19, you're told it's your fault. You live in neighborhoods saturated with poverty, you're told it's your fault. Rarely are you told about the policy, about the history, about the literal knee on your neck. twitter.com/ClintSmithIII/status/1266441789524901889

This system of white supremacy doesn't work because of just one bad apple. It takes a support network to be effective.

...an entire infrastructure of state-sanctioned racism operating right in front of us, unashamed and emboldened by the highest office in the land.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
