Trying to make sense of the state of our world has become our new normal. Last week I had a conversation with a dear friend who opposed the #TakeaKnee protest. After going back and forth for a while it was finally revealed that he actually had no idea what the protest was even about. I don’t think he was alone. We woke up to a reminder this morning. I watched 50yr old #PatrickHarmon, who suffered from mental illness, who was no threat whatsoever, executed in cold blood as he was running away from a police officer. An obvious, abhorrent and fatal result of racial implicit bias. Running away. Shot in the back. 3 times. Not tased. Murdered. To those of you who will respond to this with “he shouldn’t have resisted or run away”, have you seen the recent video of the white guy who not only aggressively resists and runs away, but actually attacks and chases the officer after being tased? Not shot at, but tased? That is white privilege on steroids. To retreat into silence is to nestle comfortably into my privilege. I refuse. Ill risk the wrath of the internet and people who will surely attack me. Lives are being treated as if they are disposable. If you’re not angry too, you’re not paying attention. So goes the saying. This is bigger than any eye roll or attack you have to offer in response to this. I think that if more of us (white people) cared about black lives there might be a chance for cops to be held accountable and finally stop murdering innocent unarmed black people who are stopped for a broken taillight or for riding their bicycle w/out a light - with impunity. Black people pleading and fighting for their lives is obviously not enough. We have to wake up and be emotionally mature about race and plead and fight alongside them. Maturity comes with the acceptance of responsibility. I stand in solidarity with the families mourning the lives that have been stolen from them.
