6. This paints us "blacks" as hopeless causes.
7. This perpetuates the idea that we don't belong.
8. I was the student who'd be bumped off of the author's musical chairs.
9. Someone else saw this first which means there are others who (may) agree.

This is so, so hurtful.

I realize that I feel the same way I did when #AmyCooper called the cops in Central Park: Unsafe.

These are the moments where you worry that the smiling mask slipped and you saw what you now can't unsee.

Even if you say sorry.

I'm hurting today.
