Race and racism is a reality that so many of us grow up learning to just deal with. But if we ever hope to move past it, it can’t just be on people of color to deal with it.
Like so many of you, I’m pained by these recent tragedies. And I’m exhausted by a heartbreak that never seems to stop. Right now it’s George, Breonna, and Ahmaud. Before that it was Eric, Sandra, and Michael. It just goes on, and on, and on.
@ShannaPersin Yes I actually had written that in reply to you and then backspaces because I ran out of room. What’s silly is that the claim of break-ins doesn’t justify their actions either way.
@courtneyamcross @courtneyamcross I was charged $600 extra for the birth of Michael because I was in a “private room”. I made sure to call the insurance company to inquire about who in their right mind would have a shared room during labor. Got my $600 back and a few laughs 🤭
