As an educated black woman, I didn't exist for Kirk! I was a contamination. That's the language white supremacist used during Reconstruction and Jim Crow. Black people not groomed to be slaves were out of place.
Kirk should be alive. I'm opposed to violence. Contrary to my neighbors at Saxony Manor in Kenosha, violence is my subject matter - not what I advocate. But nuance thinking is problematic in the US, isn't it? Racism is a subject matter. That doesn't make me, a black woman, racist. Like my neighbors, Kirk was anti-black. I have no value. No black woman in America has value, unless we remain submissive. And ignorant.
This country has rejected women. Its rejected blacks. How will we ever connect the dots when all else fails?
Look in the mirror.
