Well.....

I'm as sad and angry about yesterday's Florida school shooting as anyone else, and I heard quite a bit of last night's coverage. One particular thing stuck in my craw that I have to write about.... One expert commentator was describing the community that has formed, consisting of families, friends, and communities of people who were murdered in mass shootings-- how each new incident is extraordinarily painful, and how the lack of healing is internalized and generationalized. Oh REALLY.

I'm sure that's true because of the generationalized experience of AFRICAN AMERICANS-- duh, white expert!!!!

-----> The next time some brainwashed white person brings up black on black crime, in a deflection about police violence or profiling or 'stand your ground'-- I'm going to redirect via the white on white crime of school shootings they can be so empathetic about... and then redirect that empathy for the families, friends, and communities of the folks I remember at each anniversary of their unjust and unpunished deaths.

How DARE that repetitive injury to Black hearts and psyches go unchanged!!!

So I leave the gun debate in the able hands of the gun control lobby. I'm with you. But my energy remains with eliminating white racism!
