From being alive to reduced to a few characters,
A whole life condensed into a hashtag.
What is happening isn’t brutality but massacres,
By those who proudly serve the American flag.
Colin Kaepernick took the knee for us,
But George Floyd bear the weight of it.
He suffocated under 400 years of prejudices,
But they’ll never understand.

Injustice exists in all its forms and "racial" is one of these. I take
some wisdom (and comfort) from the posts on YouTube involving
the black academic Thomas Sowell, not least his observations about
current "black culture" and his memories of growing up in Harlem
when (and where) weapon violence was not a factor in black lives.
