The president just said Minneapolis has to be “tougher.” He said the police have to be “respected” by all these “protesters, who are radical left, very bad people.” Fortunately the mayor of Minneapolis and the governor of Minnesota are speaking truth.

I'm a 56 yr old Black male born and raised in Minneapolis. The racial economic disparity is awful in the Twin Cities. If ALL were treated w/dignty and respect and truly given an equal chance to succeed we may not have reached this boiling point.

I hear you. Please tell me what you would like to see happen now specifically? As someone who lives there and knows the problem viscerally, your words mean a lot. Thanks for sharing.

Discúlpame Marianne, soy uno de los muchos que te han seguido con mucha esperanza y admiración. Creo que eres buena persona, con un buen corazón, pero te digo que solo viviendo en esas condiciones que llamas viscerales podrías entender el dolor y la rabia de quienes protestan.
