Sanctimonia

They watch their TV's and the nightly news acknowledging police brutality, but do not understand because they choose to see it only as hostility. They view the rioters and then complain about the violence and scenes of hate, and never take the time to feel the pain as honest folk of color demonstrate. While quoting Scripture and the broken laws and seeing only what they want to see, without regard to prejudicial flaws, they castigate all those who don't agree. We need more change to end this prejudice and advocates to bridge this wide abyss.
