Read on Twitter
Can I do something real quick? I want to share what my timeline looks like on FB, Twitter and Instagram. Just peek. You don’t have to stay here long. Or just ignore. That’s a privilege. But maybe, check things on the other side for a second. Here we go.
Me: How are you feeling with all of this? How is it affecting you?
My 6’3” 220lb 24yo son: “I just try to keep my head down, stay out of the way.... and not give them a reason. It’s not fair.”
Me:

Me:
“Please protect your mental health today. Log off and go for a walk.”
“I’m tired. But I’m not exhausted.”
“Lord, protect my children because one day they will be adult black men as well.”
“Why are we always fighting to be heard or just seen as human beings. We gotta save ourselves, I don’t have all the answers but what I do know is I’m tired mentally, physically and emotionally. I’m tired. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😢" title="Crying face" aria-label="Emoji: Crying face">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😔" title="Pensive face" aria-label="Emoji: Pensive face">

“Through it all, I am and will be a proud black man....please understand what we are dealing with.”
“I& #39;m not sharing the video. I can& #39;t bear it. This is intolerable. I don& #39;t know how to be there for my friends who are POC. If all I want to do is retreat, I can& #39;t imagine how you feel.”
“I couldn’t sleep last night. Tossing and turning, I probably didn’t dose off until 5am. What we’ve experienced as a community, as a culture as people with our brother #GeorgeFloyd and countless others has to stop! This thought left me feeling powerless.”
“ If you are a close friend of my mine, family member or associate and You see me killed by any racist or bigot person and y’all just y’all talk about let’s march and don’t have a eye for eye approach don’t come to my funeral saying nothing over my body... ijs”
