@washingtonpost The unbearably grief & pain that's associated with being black in America. I yearn for the second coming of Christ. It's just too much. It took all of this to convict what was obvious from the beginning. Lord help us!!!

Outside the Georgia courthouse, Rev. Al. Sharpton praises Ahmaud Arbery's parents following convictions of three men in their son's murder: "His mother would tell me, 'Reverend, we're gonna win this,' when I had doubts. She kept praying." https://t.co/xANs0sbJ10
Today, Ahmaud Arbery’s killers were named guilty for his murder.
Only a few years ago, it would have been difficult to even take cases like this to trial. But, while this verdict is a step toward accountability, justice would be Ahmaud Arbery alive and well today.
Nothing can bring #AhmaudArbery back. But this verdict is a big RED LIGHT to all vigilantes and wannabe cops who want to enforce their own made-up laws on people who don’t look like them.
Anger over Ahmaud Arbery's death and a lack of consequences — over two months went by without an arrest — grew after video of his killing surfaced. The case, together with the murder of George Floyd, helped inspire the racial justice protests of last year. https://t.co/Dd3klrP9Gv
Nothing will bring back Ahmaud, but his family will have some peace knowing the men who killed him will remain behind bars and can never inflict their brand of evil on another innocent soul.
Dear Brother Ahmaud:
I know that this verdict doesn’t bring you back, and, oh how I lament your death.
Yet I rejoice in this verdict as I remember these words from my father:
“I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word in reality.” ~MLK
Today certainly indicates progress, but we are nowhere close to the finish line. America, you raised your voices for Ahmaud. Now is not the time to let them quiet. Keep marching. Keep fighting for what is right. And never stop running for Ahmaud.
#AhmaudArbery family has received justice just 24hrs before Thanksgiving. The irony is that Ahmaud had to die a brutal death because of his skin. Tweets like these get old. However, it is with great Joy that compose this Tweet. May life serve them well. Enough is Enough!!!!!!!!!
