A reminder that white supremacy in 2024 isn’t only a KKK terrorist wearing a hood—it’s also South Carolina Board of Education removing AP African American Studies from its curriculum, but proudly keeping AP European History. This is how systemic racism continues to thrive today.

Just saw the body cam video of police killing Airman Roger Fortson.

They knocked on his door, Roger opened it, & within 1 second the cop raised his firearm & shot Fortson 6 times and killed him. No commands. No deescalation. Just cold blooded execution in broad daylight. Horrid.
