She’s lived a different life then many kids her age.I understand she’s a young woman now,and entitled to her views of the world.She needs to be real.Their are people in this world that feel superior.These people aren’t interested in loving others.They want to control and separate themselves from those that they deem less than them.What people can do,is learn to love themselves.Figure out what lane your in,get in that lane and ride it out.While your in that lane respect what you come in contact with learn what you can,become prosperous and keep it moving until it’s done.That how I live my life.
I have been intimatly involved on the ground with this matter, and not once have I ever heard the account of what happened as it is posted here. No one, including Dorian has ever said he was being placed in a sqad car??? What has been told repeatedly by people in the neighborhood who witnessed it- is that Mike and Dorian were told to stop walking in the street and to walk on the sidewalk. When they ignored him, the officer got out of his car. The chief stated there was an altercation, and Mike walked away.
Either way, the final story has yet to be told. Dorian has been sharing his accounts with the media, bc the police departments are refusing to interview him and take his statement.
And I also agree…. I have never heard of the story this way and that he was in the middle of being arrested.
I understand that she is saying we should all love one another, but the truth is everyone doesn’t. People don’t go out of their way to be secluded and targeted… that’s how it happens. And it seems she is very privileged to have not experienced any of these issues firsthand. We are not that separated from the civil rights movement so racism is very much still alive. So try telling Trayvon’s mom or Oscar Grant’s mom or Jordan Davis’ mom or Mike Brown’s mom that we are all brothers and sisters, Keke.
