Breonna Taylor’s murderer was fired from the Louisville PD in January of 2021 after a grand jury failed to convict him and two other Louisville cops for her death. But the department did have to pay out $2 million to settle lawsuits filed by Taylor’s boyfriend, Kenneth Walker, who was also shot by the same…
White Families And Systemic Racism
When a family member you love shows you that the love, kindness, concern, generosity and care you’ve associated with them your entire life is based not on their love of humanity as a whole, but only for the white elements, it’s deeply disappointing and horrifying.

Evaluating Media Sources Is Vital Work
