In this episode, we will express our views and opinions on the killings of black people by police in America and how difficult it is to live as a black person in this country. We are disappointed at how things are going, and we cannot afford to keep quiet. Teresa is a woman in blue, but she heavily condemns what some police officers are doing and will continue to speak out against the code of “blue first”.
Have you been watching the news or following the things happening in our country?
It's a state of pure sadness for black people. Being a black person in America right now is a lot of work. You are responsible for protecting yourself from the law when it should be vice-versa.
Black mothers in America worry every time their children step out of the door. They have no idea if their children will come back to them alive. Police brutality in our country is sickening. We have seen black people get murdered by their fellow black people who hide behind the blue uniform.
Recently, we saw the murder of Tyree Nichols, and we have Jason Whitlock blaming Tyler's death on the black police female chief, and black single mothers. Jason thinks if the supervisor were male, or married Tyler would be alive today. Do you see the level of disrespect and disregard for black women?
Malcolm X once said, "The black woman is the most disrespected person in America. The most unprotected person in America is the black woman. The most neglected person in America is the black woman." Could we agree more?
As black women, we need to feel protected. We need to know our children will come back home safe and alive anytime they leave. We cannot forever live in fear. We are tired of teaching our children how to live when they should be living freely. Do you have an idea of all the lessons single black moms have to offer their children in case they encounter law enforcers?
