Black Life Matters

Gabrielle Union Discusses Police and Blacks. via Wall Street Journal Video

Here, Actress Gabrielle Union discusses how she raises her children in a world where she knows they're not necessarily safe in their own skin. Many times people associate police brutality with hoodrats and thugs, but the truth is that any black person could be seen as such and then attacked without good reason. So when teaching your children to be upstanding members of society won't keep them safe, what do you teach them? This is a question my mom and my grandmother have struggled with for the past 19 years.
