I don’t really care all that much about one white woman getting killed by police. Yes, it’s horrible, but it’s an abberation, not an actual war on white people. It’s enraging how this case is being treated in comparison to the many cases of Black and indigenous women who are murdered by the police.
But I’m not addressing the content of your piece. I’m addressing the hardening of your heart I’ve noticed for that last 6 months which affects you and your mind. And probably the people around you.
And yes, I’m using Baldwin’s words against you to make a point.
