Thank you. If only the people that need their hands held actually read these articles.

Honestly, this is the type of shit the beats me down even more than white supremacist being emboldened by a sentient burnt orange Crayola crayon.

Well said.  I struggle tempering myself at times when atrocities like this occur and you did that calmly and succinctly.

Thank you for articulating these thoughts.

Thank you so much for this Danielle.

As a white guy living in the South I have seen and heard enough over the years to know that this has been a long hard fight that isn’t over. All I have to say is to carry on and keep up the fight.

I read this with the appropriate F you, MF’r, Asshat and other words so you didn’t have to include them.

So how long until the replies from those who think they’re the exception to the Ally rule start pouring in?

Hey, so who do I talk to about getting my Good Ally button? I donated to NAACP last month and have yet to receive it. The only way that people know is I have to tell each person, and it’s getting exhausting. /s

It’s strange what you can get used to.

Very sad. I’m from Missour-ah, too. I’ve lived most of my life within 100 miles of St. Louis, either in MO or Illinois. I remember my dad telling about the fact that I was born in Calloway County, MO — the “Kingdom of Calloway” during the Civil War. Ugh. I’m white, so forgive for presuming to speak on this issue.

This is a nationwide issue- not just Missouri. I think the majority of Missouri’s problems are in the STL region- Kansas City, on the other side of the state does not seem to have the magnitude of racism that the east side of the state is going through. I think all Black parents need to have a talk with our kids about…

Thank you so much for your thoughts. My husband is white and was raised in a predominantly ethnic community while I was raised white, but treated and abused as a slave to my white parents. We both left our communities floundering for years before we found one another. Along the way we connected with a multiracial…
