    I wonder sometimes how that affects my writing. I never operate under the expectation that my reader will believe me, or even trust me.

    One of the craziest things about being black is feeling as if you always have to prove your authority on your own lived experiences.

    One of the most radical things white folks could do to end systemic racism is believe us when we tell them what it's like to be us.

    I don't want black men shot at traffic stops. I don't want cops shot by snipers. I don't want kids shot at school. I don't want any of this.

    I hate this. You shouldn't have to be a nice person to avoid being executed during a traffic stop.

    What is also heartbreaking is how Philando Castile's mother immediately intuits that she must justify why her son did not deserve to die.
