But then when this story comes up, you're reminded of why you're fearful when he does those things.
Colin Kaepernick paid for the special autopsy that was performed.
Why do we feel we got to do that?
know i i wrote specifically about the extra burden that uh black families have when it comes to these type of stories because of the history of the criminal justice system in this country in general but certainly in that part of the country the south the deep south specifically you know my folks are my heritage is that part of mississippi you know i tell people all the time like we walked by the river where they pulled you know edgar edgar mevers um
body out of the water.
And it's really heartbreaking, Don, to think that all these decades have gone by
And you hear this story about Nolan and you see the pictures with his friends and you look at the region of Mississippi where this mystery has unfolded and it's just,
it's crushing because you want to have the benefit of the doubt.
But even when I have the benefit of doubt, I feel like a fool for giving it such space because it's like, why am I giving it the benefit of doubt when you see exactly all of the pieces?
And I know we are still waiting for more information, but the one thing that I know that we're all very clear about is that if you only have one Black friend,
and a group of all white friends in Mississippi, and y'all don't make sure that that brother's all right, you weren't forming in the first place.
And you weren't really thinking about
the land and the world that you're living in in the first place.
Because I'm here to tell you, I've been to a lot of places where I brought, like, my husband, who's the only white guy in the spaces, and you're damn sure I made sure he was always looked after and taken care of to make sure that he felt comfortable in the space.
Not that anything was going to pop off, but just, like, he's the only one, right?
Like, how are you just not going to...
check in to make sure, you know, he's all right.
And I'm thinking about, you know, Nolan Wells and I'm going, so y'all trying to tell me that nobody checked on your brother, but you're all supposed to be boys?
Are you kidding me?
In Mississippi?
