@RobMarkman The hypocrisy within humanity here is we tell folks that being rich won’t make you happy, but the majority of us can’t stop talking about “gettin the bag” — black wealth/excellence is touted, but won’t dismantle, wont ensure we are liberated & won’t make us any safer in society.

Every time we justify a death using someone’s “criminal” history, I cringe knowing you essentially would welcome my death too. I’ve got a criminal past. What is it that I deserve?

@aaannthhony FYI: I’m not a cop; I’m calling on cops, who SO MANY ppl continue to say are good, to show their true colors. Are they willing to say they’re good and then show it?

For 1 moment, I wanted nothing more than for my family to feel proud. Proud that all of our struggles, all that we have had to do to survive & all of the pain that we have endured was not in vain. This moment serves as evidence that none of it has been wasted. To God be the glory
