Renisha McBride

Gradientlair posted about Renisha McBride's funeral. I could try to write about this teenager's murder, about how the man who killed her will go unpunished, but what good would it do? The people who know, how we know. Those who listen are listening. Those who don't, who praised Zimmerman's exoneration, who think Jonathan Ferrell's death was justified, that each and every case of an unarmed Black person being killed is at worst an isolated incident and at best a favor to society… what can I say to change anyone's mind?

So I will grieve, and worry, and I probably shouldn't even say this much.
