The truth is we have screamed at the top of our lungs, from the bottom of our hearts, for CHANGE. We have, peacefully, done all that we could, to draw attention to the deep rooted, pervasive and robust systematic racism that colors every part of our lives as Americans, black and white (benefitting the latter). The truth is racism in this country is such a dominating force, its intent is easily accomplished – PRESIDENT Donald Trump.

Martin Luther King Jr. said, “…rioting is the language of the unheard.” The truth is we are done being ruled by and excluded from a conversation that in no way begins or continues without us.
