"I feel like the skirt is being pulled back, in particular with Trump being elected. Often times we've buy into the lie that this country was everything that it said it was.  We saw the first African-American president and we allowed ourselves to believe that we had progressed more than we actually had. We forgot about the foundation of this country. Why we're so damned now is we're realizing that the system was never built for us. And so as a result, the structure and the foundation of this system continues to fail us as black people." -- jrbland #storiesfromhere #creativeresidency
