I am a black woman in the south.....

Good read.

Many of my white friends in the state don’t understand the challenges faced here by people of color on a daily basis. I’d call it psychological terrorism. I did a long run with my running partner and the subject of Walter Scott came up. She was scared of riots. I tried to explain to her in between ragged breaths that the cluster of anxiety that she felt is what I feel all of the time. In stores. In my car. In my home.

I couldn’t explain the heaviness of carrying the primal knowledge that as a person of color, at any time your number could come up and your struggle could be reduced to a hashtag trending on Twitter.

Key points, right there. Good read.

Do me a solid and spread this. I told her that I'm spreading it and she said she feels great to be back in the saddle. Now she wants to help me focus as well.
