I've been screaming this at my radio and tv since she was murdered. If these white women are just now afraid they haven't been paying attention. I've been nervous (and pissed) since this regime took over.
I've always been aware but I'd be lying if I said Renee Good didn't make me painfully aware of how easily it could have been me. I literally said those words because I'd literally behave exactly as she did, the attempt to drive off and all. I remember texting my boyfriend and said "I could have been her." Of course there's shame in that but there's also truth in it and there's no integrity in trying to go and backpedal and act as if I'm not one of the white women shook up in a profound way.
I appreciate you here and on Facebook, Meagan. You always have something worth hearing. Glad to see you on Substack, all the best. ❤️
Meagan, I've been feeling this, and trying to articulate it. I found myself carrying on about it Saturday, while holding a sign denouncing ICE. I do not want to dismiss the sacrifice of Renee Good and what her family is experiencing, but we have to acknowledge that our neighbors, those who do not look quite like us, are experiencing it daily. They do not deserve to get what they get, any more than Renee did.

This may be one of the most brilliant articles I have ever read.
Well, I think a lot of people are saying the same thing, just in different ways, but I sure appreciate it! Please share this if you liked it.

I appreciate this perspective. It’s been quite an eye-opening year for all of us — none of us ever thought we’d be here.
Thank you.

Very well said, thank you.
Thanks. I know a lot has been written about this already, but I keep thinking they're missing a lot of the big picture here!
