If any good at all can come from this carnage, maybe we as a nation will finally wake up. I for a long time have wondered who declared war against black human beings, and I feel electing Obama brought more of these bastards out from where they were hiding under rocks. This is nothing new. We have to stop it.
For what it's worth, my wife and I are white, and we are sorry that these people have done these things to your race.
Let me tell you a story. I was rushed to the er in horrible pain a while back and of course you're seen in triage, meaning patients most in need are seen to first. I was sitting waiting for hours, in tears.
A woman came up and tried to comfort me and went to the nursing station telling them I'd been waiting so long. She did this twice for me. I reached out and openly embraced her. I thanked her.
She was black.
Not for a moment did she notice a white person. She just saw a person in pain.
Don't ever tell me black lives don't matter.
My heart goes out to everyone that has to deal with the violence.
