Friends' Fears

Friends who were once students of mine called last night, alarmed by the looting that they personally have witnessed.  They sent me a video of 10 hooted Black men looting a gun store in Houston and expressed their fear that this was happening in our country.

Yes, there are quite a few things to concern ourselves with.  Black people have never felt safe, and now we whites feel our safety threatened too.  People play to our fears too.  But I agree with you that feeling safe is the bottom line.

I feel hope that this pandemic will end, and so will the murders of Blacks and all the looting.  

It's hard to know what to say.
