this post sums up my feelings :
This shyt is so demoralizing and depressing to black people not even directly involved. To be killed for a turn signal, or a hood, or jaywalking. Or in some cases, just because. Do you know what that does to the mind? What type of affect watching your people die over trivial billshyt, just for looking like you do. The fear it puts in your heart. We aren’t safe anywhere. Walmart, streets, sidewalks, home, driving a car. Any and everything becomes a life or death situation as a black person in this country. For the last 400 years, this country has terrorized my people for no fukking reason and I’m fukking tired of this shyt.
