Wow, Cookie! \u00a0Every time I look away from your blog you have taken it to a new height. \u00a0What a prophetic voice. \u00a0Who knew!<\/p>\n

Thank you for this blog. \u00a0It says everything I wanted to say in ways I hadn’t even thought about. \u00a0The parallel to Billie Holiday singing “Strange Fruit” is awesome.<\/p>\n

I don’t think this stuff will ever stop. \u00a0There are more African Americans being lynched today than in the 1920′ and 1930’s and none of us knows how to stop it. \u00a0The majority society has given this their blessing, it seems. \u00a0Their day is coming and it isn’t going to be pleasant.<\/p>\n

Keep writing. \u00a0I will keep reading.<\/p>\n
