re: #20 Patricia Kayden

Can we praise all the moms — Black and White — for being courageous? And yes, I understand that Black women have been in the forefront of civil rights struggles for decades. It’s not an either/or situation.

As long as the focus remains on the killing of blacks by police. And while that’s easy for us to stay focused on, plenty of media people would like to switch it to “(White) Moms standing strong in the face of tyranny.”

But we have reached the stage of “They came for my protesting children” which would be the line after

They came for blacks, and I did not stand up
Then they came for Latinos, and I did not stand up
