If you’re wondering tonight how your Black friends are feeling tonight, the answer is likely “exhausted.” Hoping against hope and doubt that 12 jurors will convict a former cop of a slow, torturous murder we all watched, because they normally don’t, then another police killing...
...a 15-year-old girl... before they’ve even buried the 20-year-old shot for a dangling air freshener... meanwhile having to fight tooth and nail just to hang on to your voting rights and to defend your humanity against people who think saying Black Lives Matter is “terrorism”...
Yeah. We’re exhausted, y’all. Take care of yourselves and your loved ones tonight. We rejoin the fight tomorrow. Oh, and Black Lives Matter. George Floyd’s life mattered. Goodnight, y’all. And God bless the families of the dead.
