By d. emerson eddy — Much of North America, much of the world, is a frayed nerve right now. People were already dealing with the existential threat of a pandemic and a lockdown during the further eruption of police brutality and injustice throughout our countries. Particularly as it comes to the murders of multiple black people across America this past week, sparking rightful protests of systemic oppression. It's not my place to give answers here or wax philosophical on it. Even if it was, I have no answers. Instead, if you're white, I suggest listening to the black people around you. Amplify their voices.
