You don't get the Olympics.

See, you niggas is at the Olympics with the hockey team giving yourself a champagne shower.

My Olympians won first and second place and raised their fists up in the air.

Because being a radical and a revolutionary is a default setting for most black people in America.

Because we've always been skeptical of the system because we knew this system wasn't never meant to serve us.

Meant to persecute us.

Meant to brutalize us.

But not to serve us.

So being empathetic to the plight of others and pro-oppressed people is a great posture to take.

It is a great position for the ally, but it's often performative.

So while it may be a good position to be an ally and pro-oppressed people, it's often a performance that leads black people to fight their fights alone.

I don't think I heard too many people, especially white people, doing anything but making excuses for the white man with Tourette's that happened to call Delroy Lindo and Michael B. Jordan the hard R. And it said that that wasn't the first time that happened that night.

Now, there were other slurs, homophobic slurs said that night.

Those got bleeped out.

They were a man that said free Palestine.

That happened to get bleeped out.

Nigger.

Leave it in.

Leave it in.

Then we get to the contrast is the NAACP awards.
