OUR COMMON GROUND Omnibus‘s insight:
Davey D Keeps it Deep . . .
"Like so many of us who come from the community, we are expected to suck it up, not cry and see the violent passing of love ones as some sort of truth about how tough we are and how tough are respective hoods are..

I have been wanting to somehow let Rachel know that she did an outstanding job in memory of Trayvon. She was focused, bold, honest didn’t allow anything (and , I guess I really mean anyone) to intimidate her. She was raw. I am a Caucasian, 67 year old mother of 4 and, BTW, I like raw 🙂 Rachel, I’m proud of you. Stand tall, young lady.
