A system designed to control and catch enslaved people cannot continue to exist in its current form.

Police officers created a welcoming environment for white supremacists by standing in opposition to the BLM protesters.

When Dylan Roof killed 9 Black people in a church, they gave him a hamburger on the way to jail. These white supremacists are treated like friends of the police because they align politically.

The only thing Kyle Rittenhouse came to protect that day was his white supremacy. He killed people and yet some in the media portray him as a misguided child.

I am convinced through my experiences that Black people are being gaslit. I am starting to believe we never were full citizens and I am afraid we never will be. I really don't know what place a Black woman like me has in this society, what change I can facilitate, and how many more Black bodies I will have to mourn.

Thanks for writing about this. 2020 is painful.
