Maybe now white people will be able to understand

Maybe white people will be able to understand the plight of black young men in this country for just being.
Watching Nicole on MSNBC just now as they discussed Nevaeh Crains' death while pregnant tragedy.
Any chance somebody says hey, that's kinda similar to death while black syndrome that's plagued young black men for ever?
Damn, I guess I just did.

BLM and Harris campaign should run an ad together naming names, say His name, say Her name.....

We have mirror neurons that make us sympathize with others. In some they are broken. It's a form of psychopathy, and I am no psychologist, so I'll say no more. These people need therapy, and some life-altering experiences.

The RW 24 by 7 by 365 propaganda machine breaks their humanity by replacing normal feelings and self-esteem with blame, nothing but blame.
