Don't talk to me Republicans and courage.

You know who has courage?

Black ppl.

Since we got to 🇺🇸 all it's ever done is try to destroy us in various ways....yet we keep fighting. Our African blood and ancestors run though us deep even when it's mixed up.

You know who had courage? Sojourner Truth speaking out during her times. Harriet Tubman.

Fannie Lou Hamer. Liz Cheney wouldn't dream getting humiliated and beat in a police station the way she did.

The people of the Black Freedom Movement. They knew the dangers and still marched and protested

Julian Bond. C.T. Vivian. Andrew Young. John Lewis. Ella Baker. Dorothy Cotton and many, many others.

Don't talk to me about courage.

Black ppl today still have to wake up and deal with racism and being undervalued, underestimated and marginalized.

Yet some legacy nepo gets a 🌟 for doing the bare minimum to stand up to Trump when someone like Maxine Waters has stood against him from the beginning?

All she ever got was backlash, disrespect, side eyes, etc.

But Cheney has "courage?"
