Like you I have read so many stories and articles and commentary on Black Lives Matter. I am only sharing one article and this is the one: There's racial bias in our police systems. Here's the overwhelming proof. You don't have to read it all the way through. The first few studies will give you the main idea. Then spend some time imagining your life in that world. Constantly harassed, perpetually charged random fines you can barely afford to pay, searched, embarrassed, always fearful. And then imagine the rest of the country just goes about life like nothing is wrong - giving the police bigger and bigger budgets every year. I have seen this system in process for the last five years. It is real. It grinds people down who are trying to pull themselves up by their own bootstraps. It is unconscionable and our ignorance and innocence perpetuates it.
