I See Race
On one side are those who who are talking bout race being an issue, an other the other side are those who say it isn’t about race it all.
Here’s my question. Why can’t it be about both?
Why can’t it be that Officer Wilson did his job and a horrible injustice was committed?
Why can’t it be that Officer Wilson felt the need to protect himself and that race contributed to that?
Why can’t it be that black teens are 21 times more likely to be shot dead by police than white teens and that police have incredibly difficult jobs?
Why can’t it be that systemic racism is real and that we as white people don’t understand what it is like to be black and that personal choices matter?Situations are often more complex than we make them ..
