    Is there a way I can donate some proper swim wear for these kids? I am in Maryland and it has been scorching hot and it breaks my heart to see all of these pool incidents against people of color. It is just awful. But seriously if you can somehow find a way to make this happen I would definitely like to contribute.

    I think that is on a case by case basis. As we all know, there are many decent cops out there that will try to deescalate a situation rather then put someone in a body bag but other than that as a person of color I am not seeing the progress. America is spiraling backwards.

Our modern day lynching’s are being carried out by the men in blue most of whom where their white sheets at their rallies. It was swept under the rug

    Well said!!

    I love this family. Sadly I will be dead when this sweet little girl becomes a doctor but hopefully we have more of her out there. Such a shame the cashier was such an idiot. Kudos to the parents for not bashing her in the face. She deserved it for trying to plant a seed in this sweet little girl.

    I would like to believe her apology is sincere because we all make mistakes. I just don’t want to believe that every one wakes up thinking of racism and how they can hurt others.
