I was wondering why none of the black writers on OITNB called out the whites for having Taystee basically tell another black inmate to stop pulling the race card and then I remembered that the show has no black writers, and that the one POC writer on the staff, a Latino man, left after the first season. How can you make a show about the experiences of women of color in prison and have no women of color (or people of color at all) writing for your show?
These are the 9 victims of the terrorist shooting attack at “Mother” Emanuel AME church in Charleston, SC. Now that he’s been arrested, let’s delete all our pictures of the shooter and remember the victims instead. His name should be forgotten. Theirs deserve to be remembered.
Their names, from left to right, top to bottom, are:
Tywanza Sanders: Recent graduate of Allen University in Columbia, SC.
Sharonda Coleman-Singleton: Mother of three, reverend, and beloved high school track coach.
Clementa Pinckney: Church pastor and S.C. state senator.
Cynthia Hurd: A 30+ year veteran librarian at Charleston County Public Library.
Myra Thompson (not pictured): Wife of Anthony Thompson, a vicar at Holy Trinity REC.
Ethel Lee Lance (not pictured): A 70 year old grandmother who had worked in the church for over 30 years.
Daniel Simmons (not pictured): A staff member at the church.
Rev. Depayne Middleton-Doctor: Mother of 4, sang in the church choir.
Susie Jackson: 87 years old. Longtime church member and a member of the Order of the Eastern Star.
Please don’t spread the name and face of the Charleston shooter, call him a white terrorist because that’s all he is, don’t give him the respect of learning his name or recognizing his face. All he wants is to be famous, now he will be infamous. He only deserves to be known as a white homegrown terrorist and imagined as a monster because that’s what he is. Instead learn the names and faces of the victims, they deserve to be remembered not the monster.
Remember:
Clementa Pinckney
A Democrat state senator who was also the pastor at the Emanuel African Methodist Church.
Cynthia Hurd
A librarian at the Charleston County Public Library. She’d been working there for 31 years and was a manager as St. Andrews Regional Library.
Sharonda Coleman-Singleton
She was a revered and a mother of three, she was also the coach of the track team.
Tywanza Sanders
A recent graduate from Allen University in Columbia. He was recently working as a barber. It is said that he died trying to save one of his family members.
Please, if you hear about more of the victims, add their names and a little about their life.
Go to this link to learn more about these victims. What I posted is only a short summary.
Also if anything like this happens again, do this instead of showing the shooter/terrorist. This is a tragedy and I will do my best to raise awareness, I hope you will too. Thank you.
his roommate knew he wanted to start a civil war and even knew he had specific plans to attack that church and he didn’t say shit?
that’s why I can’t fuck wit those “but I’m not a racist” white people because yall the same niggas that see shit like this unfolding in front of your fucking eyes and don’t say shit cause the potential victims are black and not police officers or a fucking dog or some wonder bread
to be massacred in our safe spaces, murdered on the streets, in our homes, have our children terrorized at fucking public pools and to constantly be asked if we’re the ones that are going to be peaceful, if we’re the ones that aren’t going to be violent is the most exhausting thing
