      Even if he follows the straight and narrow, he’s more likely to have police interactions than are his white peers — much like Tim Scott, James Blake, and every black male friend with whom I’ve discussed this issue. That’s going to be true no matter what Congress and state legislatures do in the coming months and years.

      Sadly true. People say all you have to do is follow orders and comply and they won't hurt you but that is proven to not be true. Reminds me of the social worker and a disabled kid, who tried to protect him because the other couldn't understand what was going on.

      George Floyd’s inexcusable death at the knee of Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin.

      scary to think you can just be killed in less than minutes by a simple misunderstanding

      as he grows up and navigates American life, will face challenges that I never had in my own youth. He’s nine years old now and only barely beginning to wrestle with questions of race and identity.

      I grew up in a half white half Asian family, and some things my parents understand and some they don't get. it's hard being black in america and trying to figure out your identity
