- I'm sick of seeing innocent black men die. I'm sick of seeing innocent police officers die. I'm sick of these deaths not surprising me. I'm sick of people only seeming to care if the victim is on their "side." I'm sick that people think there are actually...sides.
- I'm tired of people saying we live in a post-racial world. What does that even mean? Yanno when we'll actually be in a post racial world? When everybody looks like Jesse Williams. We don't have to deny race to rid ourselves of racism. We just have to accept and embrace each others differences while realizing we have more in common than not.
- I'm sick of people blaming Barack Obama for race baiting. Really, are you serious? I'm sick of others saying Obama doesn't do enough for race relations. Do you realize the impossible position he is in? As he has said many times, he can't just be the black president, he has to be the President of the entire United States.
- I’m tired of people saying "comply with police officers and everything will be alright." If you’re reading this, you probably know me and know that I am a whiteboy. I’ve been pulled over numerous times in my driving life and while watching the officer approach my vehicle I’ve never once thought ‘Am I going to die today?’ It's not that way for everybody, but that's the way it SHOULD be.
- I'm sick of people stating on social media, "if you don't agree with what I have to say, then unfollow me." No, that's counterproductive; if you don't like what I have to say then engage me in a conversation. Maybe we can find some common ground and move forward, together.
- I'm tired of people thinking Pro-Black means Anti-White. I'm tired of people thinking Anti-Police Brutality means Anti-Police. I don't know about you, but I definitely have the capacity to see and understand the nuances involved.
