Quit Playin’: The Warrior Model–Rally v. Protest

The televised police execution of George Floyd was a seminal moment in American history.

But Paris, a rapper known among Black hardliners and the Nation of Islam, was nothing to laugh about.

Every racial incidence of this sort is compounded in the souls of Black folk by the memories of unjustifiable police killings past.

The level of disrespect that the Warriors felt was being heaped upon the Black community in Dallas gave us the stamina to keep coming.

Over the next few weeks, I want to share what the Warriors did at the eight major institutions where we forged sustained negotiations, protests, attacks, and agreements.
