You really nail the constant tension that exists in some parts of American life. There’s this weird normalization of violence and inequality that’s hard to even comprehend from the outside.

It’s not just about surviving the big stuff, like mass shootings or gangs, but even the everyday experience of wondering if something as basic as going for a walk could lead to trouble based on how you look.

The way you balance humor and hard truths in the same breath makes the point hit even harder.

Thanks for sharing.
