Stop The Signifiers
I am humbled that you have joined me for another episode of The Black Box News Podcast.
Stop The Signifiers is a call to action to stop the use of the term "Unarmed" when reporting the killings of Black bodies. To use the term "unarmed" is to signify that being armed, by any definition, authorizes impulsive killings of Black Bodies.
