If you control the White House, the House, and the Senate, it’s YOUR shutdown.

It’s wild that this administration is worried about “fat generals and admirals” but not about rapists and child molesters.

Hey, debate me bros

We know why y’all won’t take your ‘fearless tour’ to Utah Valley University or another PWI instead of harassing Black students at HBCUs?

Because you feel safer at an HBCU than you do at a predominantly white college where you might run into another Tyler Robinson type.

“I don’t care that he’s dead.
He’s not a hero.
He’s a scumbag.
He doesn’t deserve to be celebrated.”

- Charlie Kirk on George Floyd

He didn’t care about his family, his children, or millions traumatized by seeing another Black man murdered in cold blood.

I hear there was a huge klan rally in Arizona today.

Patriots won’t be in Arizona today, they’ll be in Massachusetts playing my Pittsburgh Steelers. That’s the only stadium event I’m interested in.

So Charlie Kirk’s exact words weren’t called hate speech while he was alive, but now that he’s dead, quoting him is considered hate?

Charlie Kirk was much more like Bull O’Connor than MLK

Caucacity is spending eight years calling the nation’s first Black president, 'Barack the magic Negro,' ‘boy,’ and ‘tar baby,’ his wife a 'gorilla in heels,' because you have free speech…

…but now wanting to fire everyone who calls a deceased racist a racist.

It should come as no surprise that the same people who want to protect confederate monuments, erase Black history, and abolish civil rights, are attempting to deify a white supremacist.

We have a government that punishes comedians but protects pedophiles, all in the name of Jesus.

Let’s be clear, white supremacy is not “a difference of opinion.“ Anti-Black racism that relegates me to inherent inferiority is not “a different viewpoint.“

Just stop it.

Let’s be clear, relegating Black people to being less than human and inherently inferior is not ‘a difference of opinion.’

Opposing white supremacy is not ‘disagreeing with someone’s views.’

Y’all are killing me with this ‘don’t speak ill of the dead’ foolery when the dead spoke ill of Black people when he was alive.

A white man murdered a white man at one of the whitest colleges in America in one of the whitest states in the nation, but y’all mad at Black people?

Make it make sense.

He justified all of their murders and lobbied to pardon Floyd’s murderer.

Trump is an anti-Black, racist, son of a klansman. Period.

Same people who could care less about 300,000 real Black women losing their jobs over the abolishment of DEI are crying over removing one fictitious white man from a restaurant logo.

Authentic Christianity doesn’t condemn Black people for being woke but protect white men who rape children.

James Dobson died today, and tributes are rolling in. Let’s be clear: Dobson was not a champion of Christian values—he was a charlatan. He built a career preaching “family values” while peddling racism and political hypocrisy. He gave theological cover to white supremacy and anti-Christian policies.

Hey white America,

Contrary to what the orange man in the White House that was built by Black people says…

AMERICAN CHATTEL SLAVERY WAS BAD.

It was..

evil, wicked, depraved, inhumane, immoral, unholy, savage, and anti Christian.

Stop trying to revise, diminish, deny, sanitize, and justify it.

Ask your Black preacher how he has so much smoke for Black fraternities and sororities but none for the FBI harassing Black people in southeast DC for sitting on the porch.

Something is seriously wrong with a nation that cracks down on homeless people but not white supremacist mass shooters
