Politeness is not the same as kindness.

Being polite is saying what makes people feel good today. Being kind is doing what helps people get better tomorrow.

In polite cultures, people withhold disagreement and criticism. In kind cultures, people speak their minds respectfully.

How many systems of care and support have to collapse for a black child to call the police for help only for them to kill her. #MakiyahBryant

@IntrVarsityAdam Right. Same. I felt like the tears of relief I shed today were also mixed with the grief of the Wilson verdict. It gives me hope too.

[Chioma Chukwu-Smith @Chiomesc]

When we marched for Mike Brown in 2014, we were ridiculed and rejected by so many. I would do it all over again for this moment. It took too much marching and too many tears, but today we have #justice. Conversation with my son will be easier tonight. #thankyoujesus

See, Mr. Chauvin, once handcuffed a suspect is sufficiently restrained.

[Elizabeth Warren @ewarren]

Praying for George Floyd’s family. He should still be alive. And we must continue working to root systemic racism out of our criminal justice system.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

Today, a jury did the right thing. But true justice requires much more. Michelle and I send our prayers to the Floyd family, and we stand with all those who are committed to guaranteeing every American the full measure of justice that George and so many others have been denied.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Daunte Wright’s killing was not a random, disconnected “accident” - it was the repeated outcome of an indefensible system that grants impunity for state violence, rewards it w/ endlessly growing budgets at the cost of community investment, & targets those who question that order.
