That’s the entire point. They were under the boot heel, but still looked up.

To suggest that a bunch of agitated white people would be more inspiring than those historical heroes is… it’s beyond words. It really is.

Those white people did exist, for the record. But most of them would have a lot of unkind words about you idolizing them and minimizing black heroes… because white people did that constantly even at the time.

Please reconsider… everything.
