Dehumanization is what enables someone to overlook that you are about to shoot a black man in the back just a few feet away from three children sitting in the car watching. You cannot stop the killing of black people without stopping the systematic dehumanization of black people.

I commend the players on the @Bucks for standing up for what they believe in, coaches like @DocRivers, and the @NBA and @WNBA for setting an example. It’s going to take all our institutions to stand up for our values. pic.twitter.com/rUGETgAt7P

NBA players are courageously on strike (withholding labor), NOT boycotting (withholding their $ /purchase). The diff is important bc it shows their power as *workers.*

The courage this takes is profound. WNBA organizing in this moment MUST be recognized too. #StrikeForBlackLives https://t.co/QfsJAHLVLx

Today’s boycotts, anniversary of Kaepernick’s protest and it all hovering around the 15th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina is just some really, really, really heavy perspective. Injustice takes on so many forms with so many Black women and men fighting to tackle America’s sins.
