Description

When Dak Prescott pledged $1 million to fight LGBT and “woke” America after Charlie Kirk’s assassination, his words echoed a much older American story. This isn’t just about one man’s grief—it’s about how anger after a crime can be redirected at entire communities.

From Red Summer (1919) to the Zebra Murders (1970s), the Willie Horton ad (1988), and the Superpredator myth (1990s), White America repeatedly turned isolated acts into sweeping indictments of Black people. Today, we’re watching that same cycle unfold against LGBTQ+ communities.

This post isn’t about silencing Prescott. It’s about learning from history so we don’t repeat the mistakes that fueled violence, profiling, and lost civil rights.
