Beautifully said, Marley, and utterly wasted on this responder. Don't beat your head against a wall when the ears you're pouring your heart out--the heart of multitudes out to are filled with cement and Toxic Whiteness. They don't have the ability to hear things they don't like, and we all know how that type do.

Thank you for the article AND this response. You've got soul and HEART, and despite some of these salty, White tears, your heart is seen and heard and valued. And felt. Please never, EVER stop talking truth to power. You encourage the same from others AND open eyes/ears/hearts that are truly willing to be opened.
