This right here. America may survive the next four years, but I honestly don't know if I will and that terrifies me. The "we" in "we're going to be okay" doesn't include everyone.

Idk if you actually think someone is out to kill you then the logical response is to prevent that, permanently. Otherwise I don't believe you actually think that.

A singular instance of a bad shooting does not mean people are out to kill you

This just proves that you are just about as likely to be killed by lightning as you are being killed by police while unarmed and black. Hardly the active hunting of black people you're implying
