We coexist in 2 universes- one where everyone pretends and lies about the greatness of the US, and the other a blood-filled universe of genocide, lynchings, cold-blooded murder of the “ others”- be it gay, black, or our children with their crayons.
WOW. Brilliant, deep piece. No words, only complete solidarity.
“Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will.”
-Frederick Douglass
Which is why I will keep demanding justice for Black people. Oh god how I wish I had been on that subway to do something. Anything other than the depraved indifference demonstrated by the people in the video. I am a mother of sons. Jordan Neely was also someone's son and had a mama.
I’m coming back to say that this is far and away one of the best pieces I have ever read in my life. I posted it with an urgent message on my very small Facebook network. Please share.
I have no words. Other than “Thank you, Frederick.”

Wow, thank you this. That was an incredible read.
Preach.
the bottom line: those people that talk about being aware, and being "woke" have never been that. They were never anything of the kind.
Wow. Powerful truthful and painful.
Powerful. Truth.
