"Klan-Loving Country"

Chelseitsme

It's 6:21 am on my first Saturday of Thanksgiving Break. On my Twitter feed, amongst news of the Chicago Bulls, a principal dressing up as a TikTok sumo guy, and people enjoying their walks with their dog, is a lot of disappointment in the American justice system.

Oh, I can imagine it. He would be dead. A white person would've killed him.

Others (other white people) might not think that. This is one of the myriad problems. 

I, for one, can walk away from the news. I am white. This is not an everyday problem for me, my family, 95% of my friends. I can shut down social media. I can talk with all my friends and family, and the names of those murdered won't enter into our discussions.

Every time we hear of another white man getting away with murdering a black person, I realize more and more... this system we've got here in America is DESIGNED to be this way. It's designed to protect those of my skin color, so that they may STAY IN POWER. 

This is Chelsea Hart. She is blunt. She swears. She's a white woman who stands up for the underprivileged. Here is her take on the acquittal.

At the end, she calls the U.S. a "Klan-loving country." I'm beginning to see it.

I wish white people in this country knew who each of these people were - and how they died. And then I wish the white men in power would use their power to STOP it. and to execute justice when it does still happen. Here are some of the ways black women have been killed - by the police. And young white men can hear about it and feel as if they are invincible. They are above the law. Are those in power "Klan-loving?" Their children learn from their model.
