Anyone who disrespects Black Veterans should leave this country. They’re ungrateful, ignorant, and undeserving of the freedoms those same Veterans fought to protect. If you can’t honor all Americans, especially the Black men and women who served despite our differences in opinions 👇🏾

If you don't support reparations, and you're a white American, you are benefiting from the wealth and infrastructure built on the backs of enslaved Black people. Today, you’re living off stolen labor. You don’t deserve to profit from, or even claim, the nation our ancestors were forced 👇🏾

Black Republicans: Yay, President Trump, my favorite white boy; I mean like dude, he's so cool……...

And the countless Black men and women exonerated after spending years behind bars for crimes they never committed—Keep thinking you're exempt……
