Funny that you made this your post today. I shared her blog this morning on my facebook page, and hours later noticed it blowing up on a lot of my friend's pages... it's being shared and shared and shared... as well it should be. Great blog. judy ;)
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing my post. I was only trying to process what I am feeling. I know you all understand that as a Mama trying to explain life's bad stuff to your kids is hard. I'm just trying to make sense of it all. I hope we can all come together and say no matter who you are it's wrong to be targeted. No matter what color you are, it's wrong for a police department to hold your body, after you are reported missing. It' wrong to just assume because someone dresses a certain it's ok to kill them. I'm still trying to process all of them. This isn't just a race issue...it's a human race issue. Thank you for the generous share.
