My sister lives across the street from one of the first buildings to burn in Minneapolis. I'm devastated by the number of libraries, community centers, black owned businesses and low income housing complexes that have been destroyed especially in black neighborhoods. The forces driving the destructive behavior seem like they can be described as Americans being "blood drunk". I have my own theories about why things are so destructive right now, but it seems that many of my connections aren't interested in considering that the angry destructive actions may be harming black folks more than helping. I haven't seen enough people talking about the real problems of police unions and "qualified immunity" and how to solve those problems. But some people, like Killer Mike in Atlanta, are on the right track and that gives me hope.
