In all of American history there are few who match the brave brilliance of the children of Brown v. Board. They beat Jim Crow down with their paper, pencils, bodies, & intelligence. Today’s grown “anti-woke” book banners are infinitesimally tiny in the shadow of their legacy.

THE CHRISTIAN NON-AWNSER TO #ANTISEMITISM Some Christians respond to the “F**k Jews” sign by asking “where’s the outrage for anti-Christian hate?” Whatever the answer to that question is, it is neither an answer nor excuse for #Antisemitism . Its ALL unacceptable. #DavePortnoy

An old man stabs a little #Palestinian boy to death in a blood soaked rage of #Islamophobia , Dehumanization does not discriminate among victims or perpetrators. Don’t fool yourself, when “they” are endangered so are “we.” nytimes.com/2025/05/02/us/… via @NYTimes

#MattWalsh minimizes calling a Black child n*gger while maximizing Shiloh Hendrix’s go fund me account. Consider… N*gger was the last word Black men heard before being lynched, last word Black woman heard before being raped, & 1st word Black children heard before being sold.

Dear Sir, “Nigger” isn’t just a “bad word” or a word that makes “woke” people feel bad. Nigger is less a word than a welcome to kill, rape, & erase Black people’s humanity. Pardon me for not saying “N word,” but the historical illiteracy of your posts suggest I make it plain.

During this #JewishHeritageMonth , I am thinking of 2 intellectuals whose writing deepened my ethical thinking and that of the world beginning in America: my former professor Elie Wiesel & Rabbi Mordecai Kaplan. Without their wisdom, our hearts & minds are far too small.

Anybody claiming they are being “LYNCHED”after saying ”F*CK THE JEWS” has doubled down & doubly offended Black & Jewish people. Pls crack a book on lynching & stop talking till you learn something. I neither believe in permanent cancelation nor doxing, but there’re consequences.

WAR At the Harvard Business School, I lectured on “Faces of Abolition: From Slavery to Mass Incarceration.” I began with “War” by Charles Jenkins, the “Social Justice Prelude” to the class. Ok, I was kinda shocked when students applauded afterwards:
