Description: Yeah, that happened. It was real. And today I want to ask some hard questions and share some concerns I have.
- People have breaking points and you don't know when they are going to reach theirs, but when they do, it might be ugly.
- I am deeply afraid that everyday people are going to try what Will tried, but find out that they will actually go to jail for it and that people will normally punch or shoot back.
- Some people are saying this is what it looks like to "protect Black women" and others are saying this is not at all what that looks like. I'll unpack that.
- When white people do something crazy, stars or otherwise, white people rarely absorb it as being something that represents the whole race of white people. I don't know what it's going to take for Black folks to get to that point, but it needs to happen.
