If you are alarmed by #protestors response in @CityMinneapolis to the murder of #GeorgeFloyd right now, ask yourself what the depths of daily radicalized trauma Black, Native, Asian, and Latinx Minnesotans must be like to cause such traumatic response?
If you wonder how children can be so angry, so early...Ask yourself how young children must begin experiencing racism and marginalization? For my own children, it was at the age of 2, at an expensive pre-school. It hasn’t stopped since.
If you wonder when it will end, ask yourself when the price of racism will become high enough for YOU to take action. Not a tweet, not a text to your Black friends, but the kind of action that costs YOU something. #solidarity Speak up in places where YOU have something to lose!
Crime is crime and is not defensible. Please. As you review footage allow yourself to separate criminals from protestors. The fight for justice must be fought. The fight for justice must be won.
