Here is some history on the Emmett Till memorial
All I think about when I hear people say that it’s bad taste to dance on Hulk Hogan’s grave is that Emmett Till’s monument had to be replaced with a 500lb steel bulletproof monument because white people simply won’t stop riddling it with bullets. So now it just has tons of dents. From bullets.

The reality of the freedom in Europe is brutality to others.
“Europe supports, finances and is directly involved in clandestine operations in North African countries to dump tens of thousands of Black people in the desert or remote areas each year to prevent them from coming to the EU.”
Like Aimé Césaire said, Europe is indefensible. I have a piece on this coming out soon...
