Black Men’s Lives Matter

Posted
Editor, Times-Union:

This letter has nothing to do with my husband. This is my concern from the ages 81 to 5. I have 16 black men in my family. I pray that they will always be safe and careful of what they say and how they act around the white (racist) police. Because of all that is happening with the black men being shot or kneed on their neck to cause them to lose their lives.

The 16 are my husband, son, son-in-law, nephew, five grandsons and seven great-grandsons.

With this statement being said, “I will make America great again.” When you read between the lines, it’s saying, “Let’s make America white again.” Now this is giving the white police incentive to do whatever they want to do when they pull black men over. I have a grandson and four great-grandsons in Minnesota. So maybe you will understand where I am coming from with the letter.
