The Hate U Give

Bing-bang. Do what I did, and read, bing-bang, Just Mercy and then The Hate U Give, and, man-oh-man, you can't help but feel the hurt, the cruelty, the desperation, the all-pervading bleakness of the black underclass. And that along with the disappointment, the anger maybe, even complete hatred of the way the priviledged white ruling class has abused its power. Empathy. Whew. I walked in those shoes. Happily, I can take them off and resume my normal life, but what about those who can't?
