We need to have a discussion. I just heard that on CNN.

I am so sick of talk.

A man is shot to death. discuss.

Another man is shot to death. discuss.

Children and mothers are heartbroken. discuss.

We do not need discussion, we need justice.

I am so angry, sad, heartbroken about these murders.

It is murder of young black men. It is nothing else. It is not ‘he had a gun’, it is not ‘ I was afraid for my life’.

It is he is a black man and this is a white man’s world.

I am a 63 year-old white woman in rural Michigan. This is our country. We cannot murder ourselves. But we do.

We murder or allow to be murdered the heart of ourselves. That is not who I am.

I am not a murderer, but people are murdered in my name.

If I murder, or allow to be murdered, my self does not exist.

I came of age in the sixties. Viet Nam and civil rights were the issues that shaped my consciousness. I early came to two conclusions: killing is wrong and equality is for everyone.

But I was young, stupid, naive and a girl.
