It reached my heart when he talked about his parents having to “take away parts of his childhood” just because he was Black, just so that he could come home at night. This is violence - and he sums it up perfectly with his statement about who gets to be fully human. Which parts of being human are denied to people because of factors that are outside their control?

This hit my gut because this ideal is how it should be and it sadly isn't

"We say Black Lives Matter not because others don't but because we must affirm that we are worthy of existing without fear". Thus hurts my head, heart, and gut as this is a basic right that we should all have, yet so many are challenged on it.

"So that we could be kids, not caskets or concrete"
My heart. It hurts to hear a parent's goals to be stated in that way. It is true unfortunately and needs to change.
