    They put us behind bars, so we couldn't raise them…….That was an amazing line!!

    I love how you profoundly portray intersectional racial oppression and internalized oppression we POC face. Im sorry that you have to endure those racist RUclips comments on top of IRL racism. Please continue raising awareness. Solidarity!

    God Bless You! Go show the world how very strong you are & don’t let labels hold you down. We are all sisters and brothers in the eyes of our holy father and that is what truly counts in the end.

    I've read some of the other comments of those who choose to spew hate out of fear. Your message is poignant and truthful. With tears flowing down my face I want to applaud you, and thank you for bringing to light the unifying struggles that people of color face in the system of injustice in America. It is system of hate, prejudice, and destruction of the common good, that continues to benefit one group over the collective majority. May God bless and keep you. This is a superb piece of work!

    innocent fallen soldiers and then goes on to say Mike Brown, Trayvon Martin, and Fong Lee. The only one I can understand is Andy Lopez the teen who actually didn't commit a major crime as the Gun he was holding was only airsoft however I still believe the Police officer was write in that case as He'd rather be Judged by 12 than carried by 6

    • @MC-lw6ev
      @MC-lw6ev 8 лет назад

      bashing a guys head in to the ground, now I agree George Zimmerman is a pretty big jackass. That still shouldn't take away from the fact that Trayvon Martin assaulted him and he feared for his life.
