And a lot of my friends fit into this category. Their lives were in danger, in for example Sudan, where the blacker your skin the more likely you were to be targeted by the Arab government and killed. Having escaped here with many of their families and compatriots killed, I want them to be safe and not feel second class citizens. The saddest thing I heard when one of my boys was being harrassed, said « my skin is black but my heart is white «
No one should ever have to say something like that.
We are Equal.
The rioting on the streets last night was against racism and the way black lives do not seem to matter to some.
We know they do matter.
