Why is ending racism a debate?

It's been four years since Sandra Bland was killed by police in Waller County, Texas. Sandra was an outspoken 28-year-old preparing to start a new job at Prairie View University. #SayHerName

A beautiful video: Happy Birthday Philando Castile on Vimeo vimeo.com/179535585?ref=…

Time after time, we see police officers shoot & kill Black people by "claiming" they saw a gun & then saying they "feared" for their lives. It's a formula.

Yesterday, Alton Sterling was shot & killed by two Baton Rouge police officers. Alton, a father & husband, was known as the "CD Man."

Today, Philando Castile was shot & killed by police officer Jeronimo Yanez in Minnesota. Philando was 32 & a dedicated, loving nutrition supervisor at a magnet school.

What's there to *actually* celebrate on July 4th? We choose to honor the lives of our slain brothers & sisters. Will you wear your And Counting tee this weekend? #GLOSSRAGS instagram.com/p/Bzf3JamFZzz/…

In case you missed it: Current & former Border Patrol agents, who are responsible in part for detaining people who enter the US illegally, have displayed shocking callousness toward immigrants & women in a secret Facebook page with roughly 9,500 members. bit.ly/2KVQ0Yw

Let this sink in: There are tanks in the nation’s capital and concentration camps at its border. The drift to toward the unimaginable is unmistakable.

Not feeling too patriotic this year?
