very well-written piece. There is no safe place for Black people in America
-
-
-
With news of innocent Black people being murdered filling the timeline and TV screen almost daily,
-
and their murderers getting less punishment than they would for leaving a dog in a hot car,
-
it is hard to find words or actions that will matter.
-
Even after we've flooded streets, and legislatures, and timelines, and media outlets with simple pleas to just be allowed to live,
-
we've been wholly ignored or met with outright hostility. The simple assertion that our lives matter induces anger and vitriol.
-
We do what we can. We continue to love ourselves and each other, and uplift our souls.
-
We try to shield each other from harm and continue to build within our communities and create joy and life and hope where we can.

So basically a cop can kill anyone if he feels threatened. But, as a citizen we have no rights to protect ourselves, with a child in the car
-
Cop freaked & commits murder. gets off? How can this still be happening? Is no place safe for our black citizens? How can we spread love!?

This is the sorry truth in many parts of America. People of color live in a different reality than those of us with white privilege.
-
We each (especially white people) have to call out every unjust act or word. Don't let even a whiff of racism go by. Open people's eyes.

Evidence isn't circumstantial, it's on tape. The justice system is openly bias against minority- it is a shame; technology is exposing them

If you're a racist MAGA guy with a desire to kill black men, you join your local police force. You can always claim: in fear for your life
