Morning fam

☕ Morning fam, St. Louis, all bad news. Another deadly weekend that included mass shootings, one at Cinco De Mayo. More proof that what ails St. Louis is bigger than Kim Gardner. For Black St. Louis it encompasses black leadership from the state capital down to St. Louis City and St. Louis County. I know, I know systemic racism, white supremacy and folks are racist… but none of that stopped them from obtaining seats… none of that kept them from imposing their will, Kim Gardner holding the criminal justice system hostage is prime example. Nobody threatened her. Nobody burned a cross on her yard. Nobody forced her to resign. Kim Gardner used the full weight of her office to save her ass, she didn’t go out fighting for change. That is not unique to Kim Gardner, none of them are fighting for us. None of those forced to resign in scandal were fighting for us. We’re losing, but we should be winning.

St. Louis, all bad news. Another deadly weekend that included mass shootings, one at Cinco De Mayo. More proof that what ails St. Louis is bigger than Kim Gardner. For Black St. Louis it encompasses black leadership from the state capital down to St. Louis City and St. Louis County. I know, I know systemic racism, white supremacy and folks are racist… but none of that stopped them from obtaining seats… none of that kept them from imposing their will, Kim Gardner holding the criminal justice system hostage is prime example. Nobody threatened her. Nobody burned a cross on her yard. Nobody forced her to resign.

Kim Gardner used the full weight of her office to save her ass, she didn’t go out fighting for change. That is not unique to Kim Gardner, none of them are fighting for us. None of those forced to resign in scandal were fighting for us. We’re losing, but we should be winning.

We’re not winning because black leaders are more fixated on beating them at their own game than building black power. More concerned about pushing agendas and climbing the ranks of the Dem Party/Progressive Movement than changing the trajectory of the black community. More focused on affirming others than saving black lives.

This is not systemic racism or white supremacy. This is betrayal.
