Read the powerful letter Emerson College's first black president sent his school about the 'legalized lynching' of George Floyd: 'America is on fire'

There is no other way to write to you, given recent events.

Black Americans are invisible to most of white America. We live in the shadows — even those of us, who like me, sit at the table of bounty. Ironically, at our colleges and universities we are hyper-visible in classrooms, work places, social settings, and as we go about our daily lives. I consulted friends and one of the wisest among them said, "Let the world know how you feel. Everyone who gets it will be better for it; the others, who cares. In some context anger is not an emotion; instead, it's a moral."I watched the video over and over again well into the morning hours because I was mesmerized by the casualness with which the Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin murdered George Floyd.

I have been pulled over driving while black more times than I can remember. I have been spit on by a white parking lot attendant. I was stopped 20 feet from my house by two white police officers in their cruiser, the searing heat of their spot lights on the back of my neck, guns drawn on either side of my car because I looked like a black man who was alleged to have stolen something from a convenience store.

What happened to George Floyd is not new. It is as old as 250 years of slavery and the Jim Crow laws that sought to marginalize and shut out black Americans from American society.

Launched in 2007, the site is now the largest business news site on the web. Nothing quite proves one's total disdain for luxury brands than stealing a whole load of their handbags. EatTheRich Gucci has little to do with that. People needs to understand that Fed is giving Thousands of Billions for the rich, while the average people will foot the bill. Monetary Fascism.
