This is language that historically precedes acts of violence.

Do you think this is theoretical, future action? Dismantling white supremacy is literally happening before your eyes.

Also, this might come as a news flash to you but you aren't going to be one of the haves

I'm already not a have. I have nothing to lose from systemic change and everything to gain.

Agreed but the US isn't a white supremacist nation.

Explain that to the Black and indigenous people who were enslaved, murdered, and exploited to build generational wealth and racist systems that benefit White people.

I think you're a racist and completely ignorant to the world around you.

I don't care what you think? We're going to tear down racist systems of White supremacy with or without your compliance.
