PTSD: Present Traumatic Stress Disorder
We’ve been taught to fight each other, steal from one another, kill one another, reign down terror and rage on our children, leave our women, leave our kids, hustle illegally to get by because we knew America has always been devoid of humanity.
Unarmed, Outmanned, and Black: Jogging added to the list…
