Grief and rage
Aug. 14th, 2014 10:39 amMy Tumblr dash is full of horrifying photos and tweets from Ferguson, MO.
I just wrote a long email to a (white, male) friend who yesterday posted on FB a comment about "well, but maybe he might have deserved (being shot)" and "these people who are rioting and looting are just acting like criminals."
I'm supposed to compile the packets for next week's GTA orientation.
All I want to do is burn shit down.
Update: Friend wrote back and agreed his words were problematic. So at least that is off my emotional plate.
