(33,435 posts)Many of us white folk are weary and heavy-hearted right there with you.
We don't have the same experience--because we can't in our privileged white skins--
but we feel the injustice of it.
I'm sitting here crying just thinking about the horrendous hatred that made that young man
pull that trigger so many times to end nine lives in the sanctity of their church.
This country is so fucked up. So fucked up. I do not know if it can ever heal itself.
Give up bigotry? Give up racism? Give up sexism? Give up the need to feel superior to someone else
for whatever goddamn reason?
And what about giving up the guns? More than enough for every man, woman, and child in this country.
Well over 330 million guns.
Will we ever come to the place of recognizing our common humanity and be able to get along?
Hugs for you and all the friends and relatives and community of those nine black people massacred last night in Charleston.
