But she wrote a commentary about I haven't been able to get on a podcast yet, but we'll see how that works out.
But she wrote something that caught my attention and I wanted to share it with you all.
In response to a white man's massacre of nine beloved community members of Mother Emanuel, a black church in Charleston, South Carolina, it grieves me to this day that in their final moments on this earth, they welcomed him into
their Bible study.
I thought then that this horrific hate crime would cause white people in mosques
I thought, in particular, white parents would endeavor to raise better children.
Eleven years later, even after the mass uprising of 2020 and anti-racism books read, here we are.
Last week, a jury acquitted Rick Chow of murder in the death of Cyrus Carmack Belton, a 14-year-old black boy who was running away from Chow's store, shot in the back over a bottle of water he did not take.
Yesterday, a jury in Frisco, Texas, sentenced Carmelo Anthony, 19 years old and black, to 35 years for the death of a white teenager after a fight at a high school track meet.
The prosecution struck every black juror who could have sat in judgment of him.
After all the book clubs and black squares and promises, a Collin County courtroom still could not seat a single black person to weigh the life of a black child.
This is what I meant when I said part of the problem, not only the men who kill the ordinary white people who build the rooms, fill the juries, raise the children and call neutral.
But a system that can't imagine a black teenager is anything other than a threat.
It is the same fear that has been killing black people for 400 plus years, wearing a robe and calling itself the law.
And the only way that fear ends is if we white people recognize that it is wrong and not feel it anymore.
