"We don’t want no sympathy, we don’t want to debate, at this point we just want to be left alone to build a life we can pass on to our kids without being terrorized and then blamed for the terror we received.
This post is going to make a lot of people uncomfortable and I’m okay with it because we’ve BEEN uncomfortable. Our progress as a people is always met with violent deadly force and systematically suppressed by the very people put in charge to govern us all.
The saddest part about all of this is that history won’t tell the truth. It will be rewritten to demonize the victims and champion the predators. Creating a new generation of trauma and fallacy presented as facts for young people to be indoctrinated with HATE.
I pray things change. I vote in the interest of the people. But I’m also preparing my sons with the hard truth. We are exhausted but very much aware. The choices we have to make on a daily basis should never have to be about race, but for us it’s the only way to survive."
