And here’s a link to Mother Jones on the subject for those who, like me, refuse to click a Daily Fail link if at all avoidable.

We need more of that

NFL team owners used the same tactics that slave masters used to use on plantations by making an example out of one and scaring the rest into place. They blackballed Colin Kapernick and thought that will scare the other black players into submission and to their liking. Not knowing this ain’t the past……fuck u cuz niggaz ain’t getting scared into submission anymore. We recognize the power we have and our use of it is long overdue.

Everythang above. We ain’t scared of that shit no more. We got the power and we gon use it.

at everyone asking you to define “white america”.

“When any white man in the world picks up a gun and says: ‘give me liberty or give me death’ the entire white world applauds. But when a black man says the same thing, word for word, he’s judged as a criminal (by whites) and treated as one. And everything possible is done to make an example of him, to ensure there wouldn’t be anymore like him.” ~ James Baldwin
