There's been a lot of pushback on folks saying "It's not my job to educate you" or directing folks to Google for questions about the history of racism in this country.
But folks, THIS IS WHY. I know I've wasted so much time with assholes like this acting in bad faith.

Defund the police, defend Black communities! This #Juneteenth, it’s more important than ever that we dismantle the racist and ineffective model of American policing. Learn more about how defunding the police works and why we so desperately need it: https://benjerrys.co/37EUU4C

There's SO MUCH about Black American history that even those of us in the community are never taught.
I didn't know about Tulsa until maybe six years ago? I only heard about Rosewood last year.
Henrietta Lacks, the Tuskegee experiment -- all after I left school.
True story: I went to majority-black public schools in Baltimore my entire life. We sung the Black National Anthem at my middle school every morning.
But I learned about Juneteenth through an episode of @blackishabc@twitter.com only *three years ago*

Never forget that Juneteenth is not the day enslaved people were emancipated but the day when formerly enslaved people in Texas finally learned about emancipation a full two-and-a-half years after the proclamation. The slavists kept them working for free the whole time.

I’ve been seeing a lot about “anti-racism burnout” lately... which... is a conversation I’m too angry & sad to have.
But I’ve ALSO seen a lot of “fixed comfort” floating around. I’d encourage you all to look at the language you’re using to talk about the world today. We see you.

Quick ask: while we are removing racist images, can we cancel all the teams names and mascots that are disrespectful to indigenous peoples?

An anguished question from a Trump supporter: ‘Why do liberals think Trump supporters are stupid?’
THE SERIOUS ANSWER: Here’s what the majority of anti-Trump voters honestly feel about Trump supporters en masse:

Black lives matter even if they do resist arrest. Black lives matter even if they did commit a crime. Black lives matter even if they disrespect the cop. Black lives do not matter conditionally. Black lives matter, period. All of them.

Diversity and Dungeons : These are all really good steps to address diversity issues that have long been a part of D&D, and I'm really happy they're making their world more creative by making evil races a lot more diverse. :)
