Today...I cried.

I have a BLACK son.

During my entire drive to work...I wept and could not stop.

I wept over the state of this world.

I wept over the hearts of mankind.

I wept over the innocent lives that have been taken away at the hands of uncaring, misinformed, prejudice people.

I wept over the unspoken conversations with my BLACK son that have been rehearsed over and over again in my head.

I wept over the lives of every individual who will never know or attempt to know the depths of racial disparity.

But most of all...

I wept over the life of my son and other BLACK boys like him who have to figure out how to navigate this world while being...BLACK.

And still...I weep.
