Kai says while some might feel comfort to have more police officers at Marjorie Stoneman Douglas, he does not. He says it's intimidating & that black students will face most of the consequences of an overmilitarized predominantly white school.pic.twitter.com/IxyYDbbOW8

Tyah-Amoy a Marjorie Stoneman Douglas student said conversations about gun violence have to include police violence. She asked, the same people who showed up for
#MarchForOurLives--will they show up for#StephonClark?#AltonSterling?#SandraBland?pic.twitter.com/QIhvy9gYHDShow this thread -
About 8 media organizations covered this press conference-- most of them local. One student said the school's black students are not being represented. She peered into the news cameras and said, "Well here we are. Do you see us?"

When can we all just e Americans?
-
When America allows us all to be that way. Y’all ask this all the time as if America has always just been set up for us “all to be Americans” .. it wasn’t. Ask America , don’t ask these kids
-
To be fair he asked if we could all “e Americans”, he could have meant anything. Can we all Eat Americans? Can we all Entertain Americans? We will never know.

It's like we are incapable of unity. That's why the NRA will win. Because we will keep infighting about the small differences instead of seeing the big picture. That's why people don't embrace BLM like Parkland. Because one is persistently divisive. Self-sabotage.
-
The NRA will win because they are backed by the US Constitution. Not by emotion.

"Well-regulated."

Although I understand. I don't think racial issues should be included as part of the debate about gun regulation at this time. It serves to dilute the issue. Unify and fight one fight at a time. Adding this to that will only divide and lessen the chances of change on both.
-
White privilege is feeling entitled to decide what issues are most critical (and their solutions) based on personal experience or benefit, without regard for the suffering, oppression and consequences for communities outside of your own.
-
Wait Emma experiences white privilege?
-
Emma opposes police in schools because of bias, but the media doesn't highlight that. Also, there's a specific, documented problem w/officers in schools disproportionately targeting Black students. Black students deserve a direct platform where their issues & voices can be heard
-
Targeting students.... like she admits targeting Cruz with bullying repeatedly?
-
except that didn't happen. He was ostracized by classmates because he was VIOLENT and scared them. Stop blaming the victims.
-
They ostracized him? Because he was mean? What kind of mental gymnastics is that. He was picked on. Took a bunch of prozac. Told everyone he wanted to be a school shooter. Then did it. And nobody stopped him. Something is definitely wrong there. And it's not an inanimate object.

We also haven't heard from neurodivergent & "special" ed students from MSDH who are being stigmatized, feared & blamed when society doesn't hold violent white men accountable.
-
I was right there with you until the "holding violent white men accountable" thing.
-
Where is the lie?
-
Who said anything about lying. Don't understand your question.
-
You have a problem with her saying “violent white men” what’s the problem with that?
-
It has nothing to do with the first part of her tweet, which is important and doesn't have anything to do with race. Introducing race deflects from the problem she's outlining. Special ed students get unfairly stigmatized as potential killers and that's a problem. Period.
-
Tweet unavailable
-
Agreed. White men are disproportionately the ones committing domestic terrorism and mass shootings. Race ABSOLUTELY has something to do with the domestic extremism and violence, and it’s apologist to not acknowledge the overwhelming whiteness of mass shooters.
