I'm going to phrase this as politely as I can to you, with respect to knowing you and your history on this site: Fuck that, you don't deserve my respect: if all you've got is paternalistic optics games and tone policing, then please shut the fuck up. I do not play optics games. I do not respect tone police. Optics games will not save anybody, will not push policy, will not do ANYTHING MORE than legitimize the propriety-poisoned society we're forced to toil under.
The FACT OF THE MATTER IS every body, Black, brown, or otherwise, that gets funneled through the Department of Corrections pipeline is turned into a slave. By Amerikans. The FACT OF THE MATTER IS that every Amerikan that fails to fight this, that plays these cute little semantics games to make the crackers feel like they're not complicit, that bears plantation water, is JUST AS COMPLICIT in the slavery that never ended in this country.
As far as I'm concerned, this is a davel-tier comment.
