Once again, dear Twitchy reader, we have come across a thread that needs very little introduction from us. Except this time, the thread in question is NOT great, it's ri-damn-diculous ... so ridiculous in fact that it really speaks for itself.
And that's not a good thing.
Seems Brittani James, MD is very upset her rich, white neighbors put up a thin blue line flag.
No really.
See for yourself.
I woke up yesterday morning, looked out my window and saw the neighbors had hung this flag on their children’s playground.

Don't make that face, we didn't write it.
I believe there is a no insignificant change this move was intentional - to send a message.

Before you say I’m just being paranoid, check this:

They raised that flag just as a 3rd Black family moved onto the block.
We think it's narcissism, lady.
With a not-so-healthy dose of paranoia, sure.
Too many people believe racism stops once you have money. Or, worse, that income is a proxy for race.
— Brittani James, MD (@DrBrittaniJ) July 9, 2023
You’re wrong.
Still think it’s just paranoia?
— Brittani James, MD (@DrBrittaniJ) July 9, 2023
That’s fine. And may even be true.
But you can’t tell that to my body.
As soon as I saw it, I had a visceral reaction. A a sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach. A fast heartbeat. A cold sweat of fear and a deep sense of dread.
Cripes.
That's not the neighbor's fault.
We've got three words for her: THER-A-PY.
Ahem.
That’s because, in that moment, a cascade of stress hormones automatically rushed through my body.
— Brittani James, MD (@DrBrittaniJ) July 9, 2023
Well guess what. The body is not designed to be exposed to these “flight or fights hormones over a long term.
Chronic exposure to psychological stress—like the kind that comes…
In other words, the psychological is physical.

Racism is not just killing Black people’s life opportunities and limiting our societal advancement.
It is doing more than just concentrating us into areas of extreme resource deprivation and asking us to fight each other for…
Keep in mind, she's reacting this way to A FLAG. The neighbor hasn't said or done anything to imply they are racist or racist against her. This is about HER. And she's posting it on Twitter ... smh.
They have kids that are about my kid’s age. I have been meaning to set up a play date with them.

Something had me dragging my feet on it.
Mother’s intuition.
Her own racism.
Her own hatred.
Racism is like a hydra. You cut off one head and another 10 heads show themselves.
— Brittani James, MD (@DrBrittaniJ) July 9, 2023
We have to fight this thing our entire lives.
Or you know, you stop making every little thing those around you do about you and live your own life?
Too much to ask?
