Had that talk again to our one son if you get stopped by police

Why do I have the talk I’m terrified for him I love him he’s 16 bi racial came to us through foster program. And we adopted him then I hugged all three boys and said have fun kayaking.

It’s fucked up we all know Jacob Blake shot in back in front of his children. And then a fucking punk Kyle rittenhouse opens up murdered wounded innocents and this fucking white trash is up and walking. Where is the justice that’s why as a 54 year old descendant of Eastern European I have to have that talk with our son.

And the situation is indeed fucked up. How do we change this?

I don't know, except getting Biden in our White House will almost certainly help. We need a rational President.

Dear TEB, you did very well.

My best friend who is like a sister to me, is white and her son-in-law is bi racial.. He’s just a wonderful kid. Daughter and s-i-l have a sweet 7 month old daughter. She worries he will get picked up or harassed or worse by overzealous police all the time. They live in a town that’s majority white. You just never know what will happen.
