Every Black American should see this.
I think the white people complaining about us staying home are mad we’re not around to be targeted anymore, so now they’re shocked they have to put their own bodies on the line.

1/? SPOILERS: I didn't get to see "Sinners" while it was at the theater because life was so busy. But I made a comment yesterday about how an analogy could be made between Remmick, the first vampire seen in the film and these so-called "leftists" we see in politics.
