“In conversation with some coworkers today, one of them said that homeless people should have to work for their meals just like the rest of us.
I said, "Okay, I know a man who is homeless. He'd be happy to work. He's got a business degree. He would be happy to come clean your house, do your yard work, or help you with your filing, walk your dogs, babysit your kids, or just about any office job. What time tomorrow should he come see you?"
They all just looked at me.
I said, "Mind you, he's homeless, so he hasn't showered in a while and the only clothes he has are the ones on his back because he lost all his stuff last week when he got picked up for vagrancy and they wouldn't let him go back for his bag. It would be a few weeks before what you are paying him is enough to get shelter and such."
And still they stared at me.
I finished, "See? It isn't that easy. He can't get a job because he 's homeless with no access to hot water or clean clothes. He can't get access to shelter, hot water or clean clothes without a job. You want him to work for his meals? Give him a hand out of the vicious circle. Stop pretending that all he has to do is get a job.”

“Yes, racist people, it is confusing to think that every police shooting of unarmed people using excessive force is "racist," and indeed nobody in the black lives matter movement has ever suggested that is the case.
What we do say, is backed up by scientific data that proves there is systemic racism in policing and our Criminal Justice System overall.
So all of these excessive use of force cases where Police Murder civilians who were unarmed are indeed backed up by that systemically racist criminal justice system.
So it is all inherently racist even if it wasn't the police officers' intent to be "racist" at that moment in time.
You know, just because he was trying to murder in cold blood a {human} he swore an oath to protect.”
