This week has been tough for a lot of people in the United States. It is extremely difficult to watch police officers who took an oath to protect and serve the community kill black men and then have it plastered all over the internet, TV and social media. It is also extremely difficult to hear the opinions of those who search for reasons to justify the police killings of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile. Although our country is experiencing a lot of racial tension and a lot racially motivated acts of violence there is a video that has gone viral of two babies holding on to one another and wont let go. One of the children in the video is black and the other is white and it should remind us that race, religion etc should not matter and that people are not born bigots.
