And so blacks, it seems, continue to get "killed just for living in their American skin."
I listened to Bruce Springsteen sing "American Skin" just over a week ago live at Citizens Bank Park in Philly.
And now the words of the song have been playing in my mind for the past day or so since video of the Tulsa shooting was released and the subsequent police shooting and unrest in Charlotte.
There's no real words left to say. They've been said. As it's been written before, we're not going to get past this unless we all recognize this country's racial divide.
Donald Trump not only ignores the divide, but encourages it by focusing only on crime stats.
Racial tension will only fester and boil over into more violence until America owns up to its racist culture.
