@karenbassla: Nithya Raman, the eyes of the Black community are on you. Words and language matter, especially when you’re aspiring to be the mayor of the 2nd largest city in the United States. Tasteless ignorance that minimizes the loss and brutalization of Black and Brown lives has no place in Trump’s America. You owe an apology to every parent denied seeing their child reach adulthood, every child robbed of a parent, and every family torn apart by an era you harmfully romanticize.
