END ICE
This man is Black JOY &excellence, success, hope, love, a role model for ALL Americans.
He is a threat to Fascism not simply because he is Black, but because he is a living example of the
absolute BEST of humanity.
Fascism is a metastatic cancer of hate.
JOY is THE antidote.
Fight with JOY!
