You really have to love this country, if you have faith that it will be fair...

Even after all of the times that its kicked you in the face over and over again.

And that, my friends, is what it's like to be Black in America.

That's the only small thing left for me to be glad about. There are some states where this verdict would never have been possible.

But it's true: there is very, very little justice in America if you are black: not in Florida, not in New York, not in Iowa, not in Texas, not in California.
