@ijessewilliams : What if you were walking home and some erratic dude started following you in his car, then got on the phone, then jumped out and began harassing you as he approached you with a gun- all the way from his car he has now gotten so close to you that he can actually start fighting you, and you’re suddenly wrestling this random heavier, older man, with a gun, for your life, on your walk home. You stand your ground and defend yourself as best you can against this aggressive asshole— you’re harder to over power than he’d hoped. Soooo he shoots you, in the heart. He kills you, on your walk home. A subset of the majority of your own country literally celebrates your murder in the streets, and online and from behind their desks on the 24hr news, cycle, for ratings. You’re somehow now on trial for your own murder. You lose, to you’re own country. And your fellow Americans don’t just ignore these events, they actually line up to meet, defend and celebrate your murderer. In fact they’re doing just that right now. Then those same people tell your friends and family to shut up and be grateful. And pledge allegiance while you’re down there. This is and has been our reality, for as long as America has had one. A movement for decency was reborn in Florida, and Ferguson, the Bay, etc. It is growing, and not going, anywhere. We can and will admit our failings. We can and will change them. And if you’re in the way, 🤷🏽‍♂️, that’s your legacy. Forever. These are the choices before us. Now is the time. #ThisIsAmerica (I am not a producer or affiliated w tonight’s program. I haven’t even seen the joint yet. But i value and support our stories being told, far more than i value those who don’t.) We’ll be watching. We’ll be making. We’ll be growing. With or without you. Preferably with. #TrayvonMartin
