Just a few minutes ago, Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Tim McGinty announced the Grand Jury's no-true-bill in the case of Tamir Rice.
Today is also Holy Innocents Day on the liturgical calendar.
Well...black America got told again today...you are NEVER innocent.
Zora Neale Hurston said, "If you are silent about your pain, they'll kill you and say you enjoyed it."
Black people are being killed by agents of the state at an alarming rate. And time and again we are told that it is our own fault; that we are never worthy of protection under the law. We are never holy innocents.
So listen up my liberal religious friends. Do NOT talk about "now is the time to heal." Do NOT weep white tears and tell black people that you are just heartbroken by all of this. Just don't.
13 months ago Tamir Rice was minding his own business playing in a park. But, because he was black, he is now dead. And the state took his life away then turned around and said that nobody was responsible.
What a message for Holy Innocents Day.
