My heart is broken. For black lives taken unjustly and too soon. For a society that forces grieving family members to say, "he was a good guy" as though being a human being isn't qualification enough to not be murdered on a Wednesday night. For a pattern of white supremacy that pervades our justice system, our news outlets, and our political process - that perpetuates and condones racism and excuses the behavior of those who still don't understand what is meant when it is said that Black. Lives. Matter.
