We need liberty to be restored. Only then can you start restoring order. We have been tricked too many times thinking that once peace is restored the system will change. It won't. We are lulled in complacency &then forgetfulness. •

As a white chick, I can not say I know what it's like to live as a black person under this system of economic and legal discrimination borne from a 400yr. old twisted paradigm. And while I do not carry the burden of that history I feel the weight of it pressing lightly on my shoulders.•

I grew up on the edge. My parents worked two jobs to support me &my siblings. I lived with the gnawing fear of our house being taken away by men in suits who'd come visit from the local bank. My parents tried, I'm sure, to shield us from reality. But I felt it every time our phone was disconnected, the fridge empty, our heat turned off. •

I remember the protests when subsidized housing was built on the next block over. I remember the outrage. "Not in My Backyard", they screamed. I remember my mother taking me and my siblings to protest the protesters. As little as we had, I knew there were those who had less. •

We are still fighting the same damn fight. And now someone has been murdered. Right in front of our very eyes, for all the world to see. And not just George Floyd, but Ahmaud Aubrey, Breonna Taylor, Botham Jean, Eric Garner and all the others senselessly killed. •

We can compartmentilze it, the black community can not. So let's stop talking about the looting &burning as though ya'll are shocked. I'm not instigating violence but I understand it. We don't have the right to critique the way others express their pain, anger, and frustration at an unjust society. Let's be real, this country was founded on looting and violence. That is our history. As the Housewives love to say, "own it." Until we do we can not move past it. We are back to 1968 jetting white men into space &killing black men in the streets. The only thing that has changed is now we are seeing it in real time. And that I hope will make all the difference. •

I've been complacent. Stand Up. Speak Out. Start by following: @tamikadmallory @shaunking @grassrootslaw
