As a person living in a foreign land, we're used to getting travel advisories from the US State Department about potential threats as we travel abroad. A few days ago, the island nation of the Bahamas warned their people who might be visiting the US about the potential dangers of being in our land.

As we Americans wear the robe of righteousness and all-knowing sense of superiority when it comes to human rights, we then pretend to be shocked when the reality of the injustices that are present that so many of us face every day, is shown in living color, for the world to see.
You may be shocked.
Those of us who live in brown and black skin are not.
