hello america!!! i post this to & for the people of color...
when a cop kills a person of color, justified or not, all i see are the claims of social/racial injustice which quickly fade away when the media switches coverage to a new story---what bothers me is, your silence when it comes to the massive & senseless violence (we refuse to address) that we so willingly inflict upon one another...
