To UNKNOWN: Thank you for taking the time to read and respond with your comment. Your UNKNOWN response only validates your fear of people of color, particularly Black and all the shades of Blackness. Your fears after the U.S. Civil War, Reconstruction, and Jim Crow till the 21^st Century is embedded in the U.S. and in many other countries throughout the world.

We shall not ignore your comment but use it as a rally to ensure increased protection of members of our community, especially now our most vulnerable members of women and children. The transgressions against women of color is documented, and only shows an even deeper fear.

Your past transgressions against men of color is documented and cannot be erased from all history and archives. Your fear has broken links to the family structure by eliminating men of color to support and care for their families. Our families prevail.

Communities prevail no matter what barriers are placed in our path.

Thank you again for your comment and continue reading our web\blog page.
