I spent all night trying to reconcile the glory of #Beychella with the reality that my spiritual experience will not last. And true to from as I scoped out my timeline, that was thankfully crowded with testimonies from Black women who can’t contain themselves after being baptized by the superstar who loves us more than we know — I landed on another news bulletin.

It was about a White terrorist who blew himself up in his home — which he had turned into a “homemade explosives factory.”

The tale of the “maybe” White supremacist named Benjamin Morrow who was twenty-eight-years old, lived in Wisconsin, and died while building what has been dubbed — “Mother of Satan,” has shaped up to resemble the other scenarios that feature White men — performing deadly actions.

They have the benefit of the doubt from law enforcement , who can’t stand the notion of taking an accusatory stance, even when the evidence is glaringly damning.

Morrow was well-stocked with sophisticated “explosive materials” as well as other items that you would typically associate with a career terrorist, including, guns, “a ballistic helmet,” “a vest,” and “2,000 rounds of ammunition.”
