“People like us in situations like this become hashtags, but they rarely get justice. I think we all wait for that one time though, that one time when it ends right.”

I do not condone riots and burning buildings, but I do understand the anger. I pray for swift justice for George Floyd... What happened to him was an atrocity and the officers should be charged and dealt with immediately!

i.besteph Beautiful post! George Floyd deserved better. It was absolutely heart wrenching watching that video...I didn‘t have the heart to finish it 😢💔This book attests to the truth. I don‘t understand how some people remain indifferent in this matter. 4y
OriginalCyn620 Yes! 🙌🏻💔 and this is a great book! 4y

How to Be an Antiracist | Ibram X. Kendi

Read. Re-read. Read it again. This violence needs to stop. To my Black friends, family, colleagues, neighbors: I see you. I'm so sorry. This is awful. To my white friends, family, neighbors, and colleagues: stand up, speak out, do the work, hold each other accountable for actions great and small that contribute to dehumanization and destruction of Black lives. #BlackLivesMatter #AboutHumanRights #justiceforgeorgefloyd #icantbreathe

Cinfhen Great review \ very powerful #stacked 4y
SamAnne Stamped from the Beginning is on my summer reading list. And what a heartbreaking, angering week in the U.S. 4y
SamAnne And now that I write that, really, it‘s just another week in the U.S. with exactly the same events happening and just not captured on video. 4y
Andrea313 @SamAnne Absolutely. This is nothing new for communities of color, who have experienced this trauma for generations. 4y

Pageturner1 interested. 4y
TheSpineView @LyndyG She wrote mostly Sci-Fi. Not sure if that is a genre you like. Start with Fledgling. It is a vampire story that addresses race and prejudices. 4y
TheSpineView @Pageturner1 All her books are well written. Several have won awards. 4y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa This is the best book! 4y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @LyndyG very good and topical right now... 4y
Texreader Such a good book! 4y
