How long did the era of slavery last Jillian?How long did the era of Jim crow / black code last Jillian?How long did the era of segregation last Jillian?How long did the era of Civil rights last Jillian?Where is Ruby Bridges, the first Black child to attend a white school, today? When was slavery abolished? Oops it’s still in your law books as “punishment”. People like you Jillian, love to the end of slavery as the last vestige of the oppression of Black folks in this country as if we have been enjoying the same fucking privileges as you this whole time, while to this fucking day, people like you still do not consider Black folks to be US Citizens in this country. You come out with your little zingers “they say white people bad” and “Black degeneracy” to incense your followers and rile up the white supremacists, it’s people like you Jillian who keep this unspoken segregation alive to this day. People like you Jillian Michaels. You love to point out the ills within the Black communities, but never ever mention the ills of white communities. Yes there is Black on Black crime, guess what? There’s also white on white crime and it’s far more prevalent. Tell me Jillian what is the % racial identity of mass shooters? School shooters? Family annihilators? Infanticides? Felonies? People like you fill up your prisons and jails with Black folks so people will think we are the criminals, but we get arrested for things that you let white people off for. We cannot use the twinkie defense for murder or poor me for rapes, we are too busy fighting charges of having air fresheners in our cars and expired tags. White people like you, Jillian Michaels, are the reason we are in this mess today, because you keep asking “why Black folks (and other minorities) complain so much” while you ignore all the injustices and inequalities that abound for us, because you just want to use your little soap box to cash in. You don’t want to talk about the problems Black folks face, Jillian Michaels, for to do so would be to also talk about the privileges you enjoy but deny to your fellow US Citizens. No Jillian Michaels, you do not want to educate yourself on Black issues, because then you will have to acknowledge that white people like you are the problem and are Jillian Michaels “Bad white people”.
