Eka Darville Instagram – I’m reposting this because of the one sided narrative that’s taking place in the media right now. I’m right there with @shaunking A loss of a loved one is always painful but let’s not remember these men as anything other then who they were. This is how we evolve. Let’s learn from the mistakes of our ancestors not paint over them… #Repost

Big facts. Listen, I agree with allowing people to mourn in peace. I do. But if your loved one was directly involved in the oppression and brutalization of my loved ones, then I might have to chime in. Listen, I know George HW Bush was “more civil” than Trump. But he was a civil oppressor. He explicitly oversaw and grew the war on drugs as Head of the CIA, VP for 8 years, and President for 4 more. His racist Willie Horton campaign ad is held as perhaps the most bigoted campaign ad in American history. His role in military scandals and unnecessary wars that cost thousands of lives is real. Again, I get that compared to Trump he has manners, but that’s it for me. He presided over the empire and made sure he never took the foot off of our necks in the process. I’m not glad he’s dead. I don’t celebrate. None of that. I won’t be sharing classless memes. But I also won’t be silent about meaningful critiques. That’s all.
