My mother bears no ill will towards white people. But with all she saw growing up — and what she keeps seeing — she’d put that side-eye on you.By all the measures we count, I am successful — an entrepreneur, a philanthropic leader, a husband, a father, a husband to an amazing mother and scholar. But I have been reminded these last two weeks about the glaring brutality of America.
The last few days, whenever I think of George, Brionna, Eric, Ahmaud, Trayvon, Alton, Philando, Tamir, and look at my little boys, I tear up. It’s the pain of thinking that other people don’t see my sons as people. It’s the realization of how much pain my mother and her mother must have carried, thinking about the danger that their Black children faced.
I’m crying as I write this, and my tears have turned angry. I’m thinking of all the terrible things I would do to anyone who would try to hurt my sons. My beautiful boys.
WBUR I hope all educators, law enforcement, basically any human beings that interact w/other human beings, read this article & really think about what the author is saying. Listen 100%, don't talk over,question,try to justify or fix. Just really listen to the message. It's important.
WBUR I like the plea. I want to understand. People are evil and good, but it’s not racial. In my heritage I have a famous abolitionist and Union army, probably shadows as well. There are a lot of reasons why races might not trust or work together; let’s focus on human, not division.
WBUR Black men are safer in white neighborhoods than in black neighborhoods. The big media bosses want you to think otherwise, because the big media bosses are consumed with an unholy, anti-white hate!
WBUR Dems & NPR are exploiting this poor man’s death and demonizing white people just to control the White House.
WBUR Brings over a white friend, mom gives him the 'side eye.' In like 1985. What a humanitarian. How many buildings does she have named after her at this point?
WBUR Thank you for sharing this personal story that reflects our national tragedy.
WBUR In my experience, sadly, people who don't see you are people who hate or fear you or both I don't understand blind hate by the color of skin or a person's creed I do understand blind fear I have a fear of groups of people I don't know whatever color but no fear of a man of faith
WBUR I have worked with some nice white folks and I have also worked with some RACIST ones. Trump has 40% support right now, so there are a ton of RACISTS out there.
WBUR My neighbor had 3 sons. She moved out of a majority black neighborhood so that other blacks wouldn’t kill them and raised her children with an iron fist ( devote JW) Those boys were polite and bothered nobody. Black men are far more likely to be murdered by black men.
WBUR Sounds like his mom was racist. Judging all white people by the color of their skin
WBUR First off this is about his mother which is a liberal talking point. This is the type weak black man that liberals like to parade around. Stop begging people to like you!
WBUR At some point will you advocate for a genocide of white people or are you just going to infer it like a pussy forever?
WBUR Yeah. It’s white folk alright. Try it from the other side.
WBUR That is so sad. I pray our nation turns this corner next week. The sancity of our nation depends upon it....
WBUR Trump is a crisis actor. The real one died in 87. This is an opp. Follow the comms, it’s being orchestrated by the cabal. All of it. Used to be pizza but not now. Psyops most likely, hard to crack but must try to follow
