How Charleston handles tragedy. Here we have Senator Tim Scott, Governor Nikki Haley, and Mayor Joe Riley (bottom three on the right, listed from right to left) holding hands and lifting our great city of Charleston up in prayer. To hell with separation of church and state. This is how we handle crisis in the Bible Belt. We come together and lift each other up. I’m so proud of this community. So proud to call Charleston my home. <3

We are Charleston Strong

Tears ran down the faces of activists at the vigil for African Methodist Episcopal (AME) Church Massacre in Charleston, SC. The mass shooting of nine innocent people in South Carolina has rocked the nation. This act of terrorism is being investigated as a racially motivated hate crime. Black Americans are being gunned down and murdered at an alarming rate.

Man, thank God Dylann Roof wasn’t  an innocent 12 year old playing with a toy gun otherwise he’d be dead by now.

Yes, Sir, I am calling in sick because my people are dying on their knees with their hands in the air, praying to a god who prefers white skin; - and the last time we went to church, we found our pastor’s blood in the communion wine but unlike God he did not turn into bread; - and the last time we dipped our hands in holy water, an officer shoved us in and choked us under until the water turned black; - and the last time we tried to breathe, an arm clamped around our neck and forced us to the ground so we could hear our lungs explode in our collapsing chest; - and the last time we tried to stand up straight, our spine snapped in two, and when we tried to run, our back ate four bullets, our heart ate one, and when we asked to be buried in that same little town, a pale-skinned terrorist carried out the will of God; - and maybe, maybe I could make it to work, but I’m afraid to leave my house because corpses hang from every tree: corpses from a hundred years ago, corpses from a hundred years from now, corpses from this morning, stripped of their names, swinging in a stale white wind; - and you expect me to act normal, to smile wide and assure you that my people are just exaggerating about our own bullet wounds, but even Uncle Tom died at his master’s feet; - so, Sir, I am incredibly sorry to inconvenience you, but my people are dead and my heart is sick, and I’ll need a lifetime just to cut down these trees.

When Life Cannot Go On As Normal. Mourning the souls who are still your soul. Remember to practice lots of self-care, everyone, and to take time to mourn or cry or scream or write or dance or whatever you need to do.  Don’t let anyone tell you how you should feel. (via offcenterwriting)

President Obama delivers his statement on the Charleston church shooting.

[theliberalcliche]

Defeat

If nine people can be shot dead while praying in their church…

If 12 soldiers can be gunned down on their own base by fellow soldier…

If a congresswoman can be shot in the head six other people can be gunned down…

If a gunman can walk into a movie theater and kill 12 people…

If 26 people - 20 children - can be gunned down in their elementary school…

If 12 people can be shot dead at a Navy yard…

If six Sikhs can be shot dead at their temple…

If two police officers can be shot dead while leaving their police station in the middle of the night…

If black men, women, and children can be gunned down for simply being black…

And if no one wants to do anything to change this…

It is not safe to live in the United States of America.

Say their names. Remember them for more than the heinous act that stole their lives. They deserve that and so much more. #staywoke #farfromover
