Yesterday a letter was penned by Senate Majority Caucus Chair @jrajra who is a Republican in Kentucky. The letter and the subsequent rhetoric which seemed directed at protestors didn’t sit right with me. Today, I asked her to meet with me and she did.
I made a Facebook post asking her to meet me downtown. Meet me where so many Kentucky politicians are claiming there is lawlessness. And she did. It’s one thing to make comments and you have never been downtown. It’s another to just go walk in the space.
That narrative doesn’t work when you actually walk/see downtown. We walked, we talked, we sipped tea, we shared stories. On the surface we are nothing alike. However when you take the time to see the humanity in people you realize you aren’t that different.
People in power continue to work overtime to divide us. People are fighting people simply because this world says you should hate me or fear me because I’m Black. If we want to change this world it will be by STANDING TOGETHER! That’s the only way this changes.
