I’d like to propose a couple of vernacular changes for the Black Community. 1. From: Global White Supremacy | To: Global White Domination. 2. From: White Supremacist | To: White Aggressor. There is nothing supreme about a brutal system, or a savage person.
The Zimmerman verdict and current celebrity fight announcement would have provoked… -an unbreakable economic boycott if it happened in the 1950’s. -nationwide urban riots (uprisings) in the 1960’s. -public condemnation from Black athletes/celebs/leaders in the 1970’s. -an emotional discussion on the Oprah Winfrey Show in the 1980’s. -empty threats from gangsters rappers in the 1990’s. -emptier calls for...
