Black Lives Matter

My mood today is confused.  I am black. That much I am sure about. Oh, and, I'm also a woman. Last time I checked. There's a lot of good going on right now. While it was very tragic for George Floyd to lose his life, it's also caused many good things to happen. There's a renewed attention being placed on the role of police. White people all over the country are coming out for the black cause. I marched. My family marched. It's the least we could do. Now I'm not down with some of the tactics of other protesters, but what can I say? Everyone is going to express their rage differently. Some people march. Other people go on Facebook. As long as everyone does their part it means things are going to change. And for the better. My kids are black. I say that because how do you know my husband isn't Filipino or white? I want them to grow up in a world where they aren't targets. Where they don't have a chance of having the police shoot at them or lock them up
