That does not make it definitive nor does it make my word the final word, because despite having lived in the US and still having people I love in the Bay Area, I’m still white. I can only share what I’ve learned from the personal conversations I’ve had, what I’ve witnessed, and what I’ve heard.
I guess my question to you is: how many black men in America need to speak up for you to listen? What I posted (as was mentioned) is not something controversial or new. This story is told again and again and again. You don’t have to have lived in the US to hear this story loud and clear. How many need to die and how many need to talk about how they’re feeling before a person like yourself decides to listen and actually hear them?
Absolutely it is. Would anyone, anywhere question that?

K what? You wrongly accused me of being some sort of police sympathizer, now your accusing me of being a racist? You’re hilarious.
