1/This is the root of America’s deepest problem. It robs others of their experience & it ignores history. The idea that “we are fine” and rabble rousers are stirring it up.

I am a teacher and at lunch, topic was getting pulled over. Two of my AA colleagues had mny tales of being profiled/pulled over for DWB. Worst, a cop asked my colleague how he could afford his car (he works a PT gig and coaches), last year a white PO addressed him as "boy".

Nothing in your tweet contradicts what I wrote. We can all give long lists of our own stories and distasteful episodes with police, people of different genders, races, understandings, etc. You're off on a different topic entirely.

I agree in principle...most people are decent and kind. The issue is when your regular life experiences are interrupted with the experiences I note, that happen regularly, how can you see the world in the same way. For me and you sure, but we need to walk a mile...

Like I said--I think we are on the same wavelength. We all have different experiences and lives.
