Jacob Blake ~ George Floyd ~ Breonna Taylor ~ And too many more, breaks my heart, I’m depressed, angry, extremely sad at the state of things as they impact the families and communities of all those killed by the police in this war on Black & Brown Men And Women.I will not petend to know what it’s like to have to wonder if you’ll be profilled or proffiled. All I know is it’s immoral to hold slaves.

It’s that ugly hearted racist creep in the white house who has fanned the fires and shamelessly asks his racist followers to be vigilantes and applauds them when they commit murder. With him in the white house, He has turds of manure piling up wherever he goes. ~No justice, no peace~ a truer slogan has never been spoken.
In the words of nearly every religion; I beg the powers that be, to open your hearts, see the harm you are doing to your neighbors, ask yourselves if you want what you are doing, to happen to your brother, sister, father, wife, nephew, niece, uncle, aunt, beloved friends? Just because you’re white.
Humanity, humanity, humanity, I have a poster of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. In my bedroom. I look at him and say; What are we to do? How do we get people to a point where they can see the soul in one another and stop this senseless bloodshed?
There’s a saying; First they came for disabled people, then they came for the gay people, then they came for the Jewish people, if there’s a calamity, who will come for us?
Peace my friends, I wish I could take you all out to see a sunrise like this, we could begin by saying our names and the names of every person of color who has been killed.
Who am I? Just an older activist from back in the 1970s, who has white skin and disabilities.
