Donald Trump owns this.

I don’t wanna retweet that Jussie Smollett article but I will say don’t ever tell people in a marginalized group ever to be quiet or stop complaining because we always have to be on the defensive, and when we’re silent things like this happen. Donate to a LBGTQIA/Black org today.
