“I Am a Child!”

By Ameer Hasan Loggins From the body-cam of a police officer in Rochester, New York, I watched a sickening scene unfold. The officer was in pursuit of someone fleeing on foot through the snow. I could not make out who the person was. All I was able to see was…

The Police Called Breonna Taylor a ‘Soft Target.’ She Wasn’t the First.

Since before this country’s founding, Black women have been treated as vulnerable—and disposable — 12:38 a.m. was the last peaceful minute of Breonna Taylor’s life. On March 13, 2020, at 12:38 a.m., Breonna Taylor and her partner, Kenneth Walker, were asleep in bed. At 12:39 a.m., officers beat on her door for approximately one minute. During that 59 seconds of banging, Taylor shouted at…

Colin Kaepernick Is Not Their Nigger

Colin, the person, has been reduced to an acerbic adjective for his antagonists. His detractors evoke his name with overtones of repugnance and disgust. His name…
