I'm angry and tired.  Probably as a result of Racial Battle Fatigue.  Don't know what that is?  Well, sit down and talk about it with me for a bit.

Are you angry yet?

Well, this might just push you over the edge.  This week is a little bit of controlled chaos.  I’ve got a few ideas that are in my head, so I’m just going to let them go and see what happens.

We done did it again!

A brief moment of anger at the trial of Mr. Floyd's alleged killer and then some discussion of interracial relationships.   

Do you know about the Lovings?  I'll share one short article about them and then we will talk about one interracial relationship... the one I share with my beautiful wife.  She gets on the mic to talk a little bit about our experience, including one story that should make you almost as angry as me.
