🚨 DAMN.
Ruby Bridges said the moment she finally understood what was happening during school integration was when a little white boy told her:
“My mom said I can’t play with you because you’re a nigger.”
She was SIX.
And she said hearing that felt like “a huge weight lifted,” because suddenly everything made sense.
Why the classrooms were empty.
Why adults were screaming.
Why U.S. Marshals had to escort her to school.
Not because of anything she did.
Just because of the color of her skin.
A six-year-old child realizing an entire country was angry at her for existing.
Unfortunately, I will die 💔

NEW: Authorities release footage of Illinois deputy Sean Grayson k*lling 36-year-old Sonya Massey who called the police because she thought someone tried breaking into her home.
Horrific.
Massey, who was a paranoid-schizophrenic, was told to take boiling water off the stove by officers.
When she went over, Massey asked why the officers were backing up, to which they responded: "Away from your hot steaming water."
Massey appeared to threaten to throw the water on the officers which is when they pulled out their guns.
"I’m sorry, I’m sorry," Massey said as she quickly apologized.
Grayson, who later said he thought she was going to throw the water at him, then shot her three times, one hitting her under the eye which exited out her neck.
Grayson was arrested and charged with three counts of first-degree m*rder. He is being held without bond.
