The reason your post is so important is that, when white people like me read postings by African-Americans about their lives, the facts are overwhelmed by the pain of the writer. Does this make the pain of the writer a bad thing? No! Of course not! But what makes your post so impactful and so damning is that it is written so matter-of-factly. You are probably far too young to remember the original “Dragnet,” starring Jack Webb as Det. Sgt. Joe Friday. His tag line when interviewing witnesses was: “Just the facts, ma’am.” Your recitation of the facts hit like a pile driver. No white person can understand what it is to be black in America. But this white person perceives one thing: it must be tiring.
