"You shouldn't use so much profanity and hostile language when talking to racists online because it distracts from your argument." Gonna be honest with you, pals: I don't think we use *enough* profanity and hostility when talking to avowed racists. Let's crank this shit up to a 15. Lean into shame.

Sending Black people love tonight. We are not valued by this country but I love you and want you to succeed.
