I'm so tired of it. Why is this still a fight? I want to hate so bad but I can't because I know it doesn't fix anything and just make me sad

I'm not stupid to not know racism exists. And I know it will probably live on way after me. But we have to make people take responsibility
— Leslie Jones (@Lesdoggg) July 19, 2016
