What Can I Say?

“Being a black man around the police is like being a mouse in a room full of cats.”  An African-American male. 

What does that do to man?  A man who has a child, especially a son, of his own? For generations? 

The harvest is not only bitter, but perpetual.

What we usually fail to see is how that affects the rest of us.  Because it does. MLK did not say that injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere merely because he wanted the majority to empathize with the minority.  He said it BECAUSE IT’S TRUE.


And you don’t have to be a German union member, homosexual, or Jew in the 1930s to know that.
