• ESTOY TRISTE, porque se ha perdido otra joven vida de su familia, la división racial se ha ampliado, una comunidad está destrozada, las acusaciones, la insensibilidad, el dolor y el odio están en ebullición, y puede que nunca sepamos la verdad sobre lo que ocurrió aquel día.

• SOY SIMPÁTICO, porque no estaba allí así que no sé exactamente lo que pasó. Tal vez Darren Wilson actuó dentro de sus derechos y su deber como agente de la ley y mató a Michael Brown en defensa propia como cualquiera de nosotros lo haría en esas circunstancias. Ahora tiene que temer las represalias contra sí mismo y sus seres queridos cuando sólo estaba haciendo su trabajo. Qué cosa tan horrible de soportar. O tal vez provocó a Michael y desencadenó la serie de acontecimientos que le llevaron finalmente a asesinar al joven para demostrar su punto de vista.

• I'M INTROSPECTIVE, because sometimes I want to take "our" side without looking at the facts in situations like these. Sometimes I feel like it's us against them. Sometimes I'm just as prejudiced as people I point fingers at. And that's not right. How can I look at white skin and make assumptions but not want assumptions made about me? That's not right.
