1. We are at a boiling point- I doubt this administration cares

I fear that we will see even more deaths stemming from these incidents of folks calling 911 on folks. Black folks have every right to be angry, yet we are expected to remain calm when challenged and disrespected. These situations can escalate and become deadly.

I was just reading the Air B n B's owners comments, she agreed with her neighbor calling the police. She said her renters were not gracious. Since when is not being gracious a reason for calling 911?? - She had no empathy for what happened to her house guests. She said nothing to the fact that she should have notified her nosy as fukk neighbor that she was going away and going to rent her house . Instead, she said, they were not gracious and were strange people, with a strange car in the neighborhood so the neighbor had every right to call 911. Once again appeasing white discomfort, dressing it up as " I am just being a good neighbor" at the expense of putting black lives in danger.
