There are documented cases of economically envious looting Black communities (Wilmington, Tulsa, Rosewood) because of economic envy, plundering our homes, and then using the power of the majority media to turn a Massacre into a “riot.”
Why don’t you think about the fire that ran people out of Greenwood, the broken windows that destroyed Black presses, the looting that has stolen Black wealth.
What kind of moral character does a man have who derides people because of their race or gender?
Many of the so-called “looters and low lives” are descended of enslaved people who have had enough.
I stand with the looters and low lives, the people who, in the shadow of the poet Langston Hughes, ask “what happened to a dream deferred.”
