Those with apathy cruelty and hatred in their ❤️ are the reason why this world is so sick.
Oppression is why history repeats.
Different names for different forms in different periods of time.
Imagine what we can build if we just agreed to stop oppressing others. 💔
🚨BREAKING: Someone dragged a cross into downtown Chicago… and lit it on fire in Grant Park.
And since some people seem determined to rewrite American history, here’s a reminder of what that means.
The KKK burned crosses for a reason… it was racial terrorism. It was meant to threaten, intimidate, and terrorize Black communities, and anyone else they viewed as “less than,” into submission.
And we’ve spent years watching that same racism get a makeover.
We’ve watched politicians tell Americans to fear their neighbors. We’ve watched masked agents terrorize communities while people cheer it on. We’ve watched police brutality get a free pass, as long as the victim is someone society has decided “deserves it”.
When politicians spend years telling Americans that certain groups are “invading” our country, don’t belong here, or are violent criminals…
The hate and racism doesn’t stay contained.
You can’t use fear, dehumanization, and hatred as political tools, and then not expect people to feel comfortable taking that hatred into a public park, with a torch.
History has shown us, over and over, that when racism and political violence are tolerated, the target list doesn’t get shorter.
So, it’s on us to shut it down before history repeats itself.
