Summary

I woke up this morning in a funk after seeing the video with the tragic killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis, a black man that was killed by suffocation by the police. This on the tails of the murder of Ahmaud Arbery in Georgia, after being killed by 2 white men while on a run. In situations like this, I always ask myself, "What can I do??" and in this situation, I decided the best thing I could do would be to call my good friend Miguel Fuller and talk about racism and what can be done to end racism. And in the process, I realized that the that I may be the problem.
