Black lives MATTER

I'm am sickened by the recent shootings the police committed on two innocent black men. You say racism is dead? Try again, two men just died for the color of their skin.

If it hasn't been apparent until now, it should be crystal clear after the past two days that 1) gun control needs to be amped up, 2) police need better training on not racially profiling and not jumping to use firearms, and 3) the whole nation needs to take a look at racism and how far we have to go and why we're still stuck in a rut. It baffles me that someone could so quickly judge someone based on the pigmentation of another's skin.

A protest will be taking place in our community soon, and I urge anyone and everyone to join me, my family, and our wonderful friends of all colors in attending local protests against violence on the black people of our nation. I hope to see you all standing with me to make a statement that its time for a more equal and fair country.
