I was about to post something about how far we have come as humanity…
then I saw this and as I watched with clenched fists and anger, I deleted the post.
we need to get farther. I have daughters. Girls who will become black women. We need to get farther. We clearly have not come far enough. Potential Presidents be damned,we have not.
This is all I can say with out it turning into a soapbox I don’t particularly want to get on.
Somedays I feel like I harp on race too much, others I don’t feel like I say or do enough. I don’t know what to do.. which way to go.
I’ve deleted paragraphs, over and over again.
I’m sorry I just…can’t unclench my fists to say this properly.

I am amazed at that reporter’s grace and composure when talking about being attacked. If I were her, I think I would be spitting with rage. But somehow she conveys a powerful sense of injustice while remaining in cool, collected reporter mode.
I also wonder about the crew that filmed it. I wonder if they felt that it was more important to film it than to try to help, so that the attackers could be found and prosecuted, or if they were just scared to get involved?
