First -- no one should do what JC did -- submit a post that was empty of content, since only by following a link to Twitter could one make sense of his post.

Reply Retweet Like Black liberation means black folks are coming for that ass and forcing you to be held accountable for propping up a violent racist system...

I really don't understand what Joseph is trying to say.
