I know this may sound naive but I really try not to judge. That’s what we have a criminal justice system for & I want every defendant to have their “day in court.” That’s what is being denied when black defendants are killed. They never get their day day in court / justice. I try not to pre-judge, in part, because that’s what keeps getting us in so much trouble..prejudice.
I was reading about the history of Native American Mounds when this very timely quote stood out from a Chief who was born 222 years ago:
We Are All Equal
The color of skin makes no difference. What is good and just for one is good and just for the other, and the Great Spirit made all men brothers.
I have a red skin, but my grandfather was a white man. What does it matter? It is not the color of the skin that makes me good or bad.

How long will humanity be stuck in an infinite loop until we finally figure out the solutions?
