#despite that being the modus operandi of basically every prisoner exchange since the dawn of time

Also, I hope Brittany gets off that plane and takes a damn knee on the tarmac just to make all the big mad straight people even madder lmao

#if anything #this whole Brittany Griner saga has actually just proves the point she was tryna make #by taking a knee during the national anthem #that point being that racism is still a huge problem in the US #you got all these people foaming at the mouth about freedom and democracy in merica #but at the same time supporting one of their own being arbitrarily locked up #with no access to true democratic process #all because she exercised her US rights to freedom of speech #people are dogpiling on Griner because apparently the exchange of an innocent civilian for a criminal is suddenly not good enough for them? #despite that being the modus operandi of basically every prisoner exchange since the dawn of time #and no one has ever batted an eyelash over the numerous (and far shadier) innocent civilian for criminal swaps that have happened #they just suddenly happen to lose their minds about it when it involves a black lesbian? #literally Griner's point in taking a knee has been proved a billion times over #smdh #lesbian #lgbt #feminism #brittany griner
