I'm going to try once again, to explain why black folks, most black folks, are angry. In the process, I hope you'll understand why the civil rights movement existed and why the conversation about race must continue:

Last week, quietly and with less fanfare than it deserved, the American Medical Association apologized for excluding black doctors from their group for the past century.
May I be allowed to echo the words of the author - I hope you'll understand why the civil rights movement existed and why the conversation about race must continue

If we cannot talk about it, how can we be about it.

Read the article. Please. Then ask yourself, what if?
I personally do not want sympathy, reparations, etc. I want awareness, understanding, appreciation, from all sides.

We are ALL facing a much bigger, un-seen enemy. It threatens ALL of us.
It is happening RIGHT NOW and the window of opportunity to defeat this enemy is closing very very fast.
