Full stop.

We're not going to be ahistorical.

We're not going to erase our contribution.

We're not going to erase our bloodshed.

We're not going to erase the things that we built.

We're not going to all lives matter this shit.

Okay?

We don't step on nobody else.

If you have an issue with black Americans being centered.

Mm-hmm.

After the sacrifices, the bloodshed that we used to build this fucking country.

Oh, man.

The inventions that make your life and everyday life easier.

And the civil rights movement, which allowed you to come over here with the rights that you enjoy now.

We're not gonna erase black American's history.

We're not gonna dilute black American's history by lumping everybody in.
