For untold generations now, within slavery and after slavery was abolished, white persecution of black people has been driven by the guilt and fear induced by the white knowledge of the sins committed by them upon black peoples.. Most white people cannot bear to admit this knowledge and a nauseating litany of excuses, justifications and bloated hate speech have rolled over this nation like an inexhaustible flow of sewage.

What makes America exceptional is its endless war against people of colour.

Missouri used to be known as the "show me" state. Now, even showing them will not change their racial dynamics or promote justice .

It is egregious-Black women are also the ones getting charged in the post-Roe v. Wade decision for “crimes” of homicide against a fetus for natural abortions. They are the scapegoats as Republicans test the waters for how the public will proceed and react to the criminalization of what are often natural side effects of pregnancy. I for one will stand up for women of color and make the calls to end executions, but how do I help other white people to let go of their hate and fear? I don’t know that I can change the heart of another, but I can help to make racism unacceptable. I can help to speak up for better, equal education and equality in pay and in the workplace and colleges. I believe that killing the cancer of racism in this country will be a slow, process that begins with who we elect in the southern states.
