5. THIS!!

"The unconscionable examples of racism over the last weeks and months come as America's communities of color have been hit hardest by the coronavirus and catastrophic job losses. This is a perfect storm hitting black Americans. Meanwhile, the political leadership suggests that “when the looting starts, the shooting starts”. The president who promised to end the “American carnage” is in danger of making it worse."

if she were a little older and little darker-hued, just at a swim party, and then had to deal with this -



(there is a reason why these protests are going on)
