The arc of the moral universe was pretty damn long in this instance, but it has finally bent towards justice. Blessings to all who have lived to see it ❤️, and to the souls of those who did not 💔.

The sheer volume of protest graffiti is quite impressive. Blows my mind that racism is still a thing in "The Land of the Free." But here we are. Glad to see this change.

So god can make people kill in defense of slavery but he can’t make them get a vaccine? Maybe he should think about his priorities.

So the Lost Cause was as much a myth about Christianity as it was about white supremacy. Or maybe that's redundant in the US of A.

This is interesting to me. Christianity as it was interpreted by white slave owners absolutely affirmed that God meant for Black people to be slaves. And Christianity as interpreted by today's would-be slave owners does the same damn thing.

God and the universe back the people-grinders. Beg them to put up booths offering to have their minds changed.
