America is broken.

America’s brokenness is nothing new.

For too long we have ignored the calluses, medicated the pain and barely triaged wounds while the disease of racism metastasizes within us like an all-consuming cancer. But the scabs of the sores have burst open again and pus from the wound is running over. The most recent murders of Ahmaud Aubrey, Breona Taylor and George Floyd amid the global pandemic of COVID-19 brings to fore the disease of racism in America and we are forced to contend again with answering how much Black life in America matters. 

Whether the killing is direct, literal and physical or structural and complicit manifested through willful ignorance, choosing silence, weaponizing racial constructs, or maintaining institutional barriers to equity, the persistence of America’s racial caste system will continue to choke the lives out of communities of color. Consequently, initiating a Federal Truth and Conciliation Commission for the United States of America will help us answer this question.
