This hits hard w the terrifying realization that Black Americans are never safe in their own country.
They can be going about the business and at any moment have their lives brutally taken simply for being "Black faces in white spaces". It happens every day to Black Americans.
Brown skin typically regarded by whites as being indicative of being "suspicious" "guilty" and criminal.
That prevailing incessantly toxic racism has resulted in countless innocent Black men, Black women & Black children losing their lives to white reactionary racist aggression.
Forces us all to reflect unflinchingly and realize that Jim Crow may be over on the books but still very much alive and well in America.
