    The United States has never properly addressed, accounted for, and pivoted away from its racism. When you dig beneath the surface, or even just scratch it a little, looking through yearbooks, searching old tweets, it always gets exposed.

        This story may be simple, but I think it’s wise. When I was little, our cat had kittens. There were black ones, and grey ones, and tiger-striped ones. My mother asked, do we love any kitten less because it’s a different color? Of course not, we all agreed...pic.twitter.com/7OastRx9iQ

        Every kitten was equally cute, cuddly, and loveable. So my mother said, it’s the same with humans. We love them all the same, no matter what color, just like the kittens. It made perfect sense, and it always stuck.

        Cute story. The reality is that black cats are more likely to be euthanized at shelters because the don't get adopted as often.

        Well, I guess the story works for people, and cats. And I had a beautiful, adopted black cat, with velvet fur. I miss her so much.

        It’s really always on display. The White House where only one nonwhite president has been in. Money that looks like “baseball cards for slave owners”. We really need to update a lot of things but the people who make those decision just don’t care. So it never changes.

        Please use term slaveholder, because they "held" kidnapped Africans in perpetual bondage. And while they paid for that right, they never "owned" or "mastered" them...

        This is why it continues. It's always there, festering under the surface, because we have wounds not ever fully tended to.
