It's not 13% crying, there are plenty of black people who don't participate in these reindeer games.

Near where I live, there is a corner that's been turned into a monument, with pictures, posters and flowers. At a glance, you might mistake it for a BLM thing. It's a 90% black area, and pretty poor.

If you look closer, though, it's a monument to all the innocent victims of the violence that's going on now. Breonna Taylor is in there, I think, but there's no George Floyd, and the most prominent poster right now is of a white police officer who was shot dead- big picture with his "last watch" date.

There are also a lot of little black kids memorialized, each killed by some criminal's stray bullet.

I have a hard time driving by that monument. There is so much good in the people who made it. They are being let down, profoundly.
