Slide 6: I would have had a couple of people starting to come up and watch mid joke
Slide 7: I would have had someone take his firehose from him
Slide 8: I would have had 600 people standing there now, taking up the entire scene
Slide 9: I would had the guy standing on the outside walking off scene, "it wasn't a good joke anyways."

It's fucked up how this joke equates black lives to a house for it's narrator to hammer in a sardonic point.

It's not a joke.

Heard parts of this today, then got to listen to the whole thing tonight.  Hope this has been posted elsewhere.

Being privileged is to learn about racism without experiencing it.

" It's... it's... it's free wind. There's nobody out at the checkout. But this ***** just pulled a GUN out. On not just me, but 5 other black females! and ya'll sittin' up here REALLY pretendin' like ya'll did this shit over black lives. A black man, who looks like me, who should be out there PROTECTING ME JUST PULLED A GUN ON ON ME AND FIVE OTHER SISTERS! So ya'll tell me! Keep lying to yourself! Talkin' about this is about black lives. Just pulled a gun out on me, because I'm out here trying to clean up. To clean up what's mine. Ya'll are so pro black, that ya'll anti-black. Ain't nobody gon say nothing about that, right? That's what I worry about. When the police came here they didn't pull out no gun on me. But my Brother did. Just pulled out a gun on us. Because we're trying to stop people from coming in the parking lot. We tryin' to stop people from coming in the parking lot (choking back tears) and creating more garbage. And this man just pulled a gun out on me. AND FIVE OTHER FEMALES. So now i'm in my car, and i'm finna go home. Because this at the end of the day I feel hopeless. And there is nothing that I can do. I'm picking up garbage, and here go some more black folks throwin' some shit on the ground. Comin' in the store, taking stuff. And, not helping. Not asking who needs something. Pulled a gun out on me like i'm trash. You're supposed to be out here protecting us. That's what ya'll is supposed to be doing but you pulled a gun out on me. You pulled a gun out on me. That's what you did. You stood there. And you pulled a gun out and ya'll are out here worried about these police officers. Everyone is against us, including us. Out here trying to help... and pulled a gun out on me. Like i'm nobody. Pulled a gun out on me like i'm nobody because i'm trying to clean up what's mine. I swear to god I love you all but ya'll so wrong. Ain't nobody gon talk about it. We're gonna keep lying about these police officers and then turn around and kill eachother."

Here some more privilege for our white community:





Who is holding on to the perception that something like this is inherently divisive?

Hall of Fame coach Tony Dungy on Drew Brees' national anthem comments: 'He can't be afraid to say that'https://www.foxnews.com/sports/hall-of-fame-coach-tony-dungy-drew-brees-national-anthem-comments


Dungy said on "The Pat McAfee Show" that he doesn’t “downgrade Drew for that” because “he may not totally understand.”

“It may have been not exactly the way he wanted to express it, but he can’t be afraid to say that, and we can’t be afraid to say, ‘OK Drew, I don’t agree with you, but let’s talk about this, and let’s sit down and talk about it,’” Dungy said.

“We can’t just say anytime something happens that we don’t agree with, ‘Hey, I’m done with that and I’m done with this person,’ and that doesn’t make sense,” Dungy added. “We have to be better than that. This battle is not gonna be won by demonstrating and throwing bricks through windows. It’s not gonna be won by the government saying, ‘Hey, we’re gonna bring out these weapons and dominate the streets again.’ That is not gonna fix anything.”

Curious if there's ever a time when you make sense.
